Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Gross beat like app ?
Are there any gross beat alternatives on ios ?
Comments
I haven't used Gross Beat much, but probably GlitchCore covers a little bit of it from what I know of it.
Also Sector. One of the few non-AUv3 FX I still use just because it's sooooo good.

Bleass Slow Machine. Closest thing. It's actually very good.
Bleass Slow Machine and Effectrix are probably the closest
Edit
@mikita 4Pockets Atomizer is a good possibility… https://apps.apple.com/us/app/atomizer-auv3-plugin/id1450147164
Especially with automation
Also both of the FlyTapes (this is 2 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fly-tape-2/id1552463664 )
Not sure if Flytape 1 is on the store, still
Looperator
+1 for Bleass Slow Machine and Effectrix
Like what @wim said:
Slow Machine slows the audio, but afaict doesn't behave like gross beat in that it's just slowed-down audio
Are we talking about this?
Yep.
Slow Machine goes between 100% and 0% playback speed in a lineair way, where as Gross Beat does sample “scrubbing” if i’m right.
Any new alternatives emerge in the past year? Still a gap from what I've seen
Sure, Drambo's Flexi sampler in Scratch mode, controlled by the Graphic Modulator, the Graphic Envelope or other signal generators.
Live, key-triggered effects could be done in the same way, by the help of MIDI Note Filter and MIDI To CV or an N-1 switch that chooses between different rhythmic patterns as a source for the different slicing or scratching effects.
Flux pro is my go-to https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/flux-pro/id1611411940 (or there’s the free flux mini version).
Also beat breaker in Logic is great.
