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.

I may get Soundcloud at some point, but haven't as yet.
As for the enthusiasm for the 15, I can only speak from my perspective. To me Moog have got the modular approach right for where iOS is currently at. The sound to my old ears is of very high quality for software emulation of analog - the most important factor to my mind. The next thing that just works for myself is the UI and what they have included. No multiple modules to add, just spending the power iOS has on the basic modules. Other modular apps out there can do much more, but they just don't sound this good (imho).
I've never owned a Moog modular, but have owned or used some lovely gear over the years and from my perspective, the 15 has a very musical quality to it. That may sound odd, but some synths (hardware and software) just seem to lack a certain musical quality.
Those sound incredible. Were both created solely with Moog 15 and nothing else?!
Thanks for that one man! That one nugget made the ridiculous amount of time I've spent reading this mind-bogglingly long thread worth it.
Yes, apart from a splash of reverb and some minor EQing.
Holy Shi-ite! That does sound creamy. Top of my wishlist. Thanks for the sample links. I'd already gone to your soundcloud page to follow, but didn't scroll down far enough. Will look for more there. Cheers
Thanks all Gods, Thanks Moog, Thanks Richard and sound designer,
Thanks Sine Wave oscillator on 921 Model 15. Good night!
Don't know one thing? Is it 995 or 955! Please Moog!
The attenuators are the 995, that is indeed a typo in the manual :-)
thanks
Ha - you were right!
Good to have you back on the forum!
I'm sure you're right - but i'm just addicted to doing everything in Gadget right now. Hooking up apps to Daws and Midi learning and all that jazz just feels like quite a hassle . By the time you've recorded it you realise you want something different!
Thanks Matt. Kept waiting for David Sylvian (or maybe @crouchie) to come chiming in...
@skiphunt Fair comment. I think I need to make a pledge not to get involved on any level with how much things are or what or whether they may or may not be worth it. Seems like a zero-sum game which often leads us to getting scratchy. And thus I'm going to Po myself hereinafter etc.
What I don't get my good man, is where you got this idea anything I was commenting on had anything to do with worth. I was simply trying to keep my own propensity to get drunk on new-app hype in check, and see what was in the thick of this new synth. Wasn't ever about cost for me, in that it sounds like it's worth the cost to many. Anything over a few dollars, then I have to ask questions to evaluate if it's a good fit for me. That's all.
I'm guessing that my initial attempt at self-effacing humor wasn't successful. Honestly just trying to get past the rapturous clouds of Moog-Joy, and ask what the deets were regarding why everyone is so ga-ga while also asking about some typical user sample demos. Did not mean to go all "sea lion" on ya.
Holy ccccccccrap man. Both amazing. Just got back from the S. Dikiciyan trip...think I'll go again.
Yeah, the end of that last one is something. Wonder what it was mixed on....
Can someone comment on the tutorial components of this app? Are they fairly thorough? Are they mostly targeted to an audience who's already familiar with modular synths? Or, are they written in such a fashion that even a layperson/novice can fully understand?
Layperson
Ah, first disappointment? Unless I am missing something, because of the 2finger panning there is no ability to tweak 2 knobs at once. Audulus has this same problem.
Unless in this case it is because of cpu/gpu limitations.
Anyone?
Also, not sure if possible but the cables could be a little more transparent after double tapping? Would be easier to see what's behind if even more ghosted.
cl516 - Perhaps you already know this but there is a possible way to turn two knobs (well, sort of) without using an outboard controller. Use the ribbon controller and/or aux. controller to control things like filter frequency or osc frequency. You can use the keyboard, the ribbon, the aux controller, and still turn one knob all at the same time if you are nimble enough. And there is the arp to keep in mind. This method won't work if you want to turn two knobs that aren't VC at the same time (both env releases or mixer levels), but it will work for one or two VC parameters (using controllers) plus one non-VC one (use a finger on the knob).
thanks @MrNezumi will give that a shot soon

I'm with wim, the cheerios was worth the wait, lets see what ya got for the cornflakes but best wait til next time.
In general I think folks need to calm down, we collectively have to understand at some point that we are meeting here at this intersection of time and space but that we are all individuals, that even goes for those of us who come from the dimension of 'only my opinion is acceptable', so you speak for your whole dimension that's cool, but now you are in an environment that represents more than one dimension, ignoring that won't make it any less real but bringing whatever civility they're working with from where ever you're from will do wonders to help us all get along.
now what about that randomizer?....... chuckles

Nice little review:
Proof that you Brits are a bit more musically sophisticated in my opinion! Sadly there isn't a single music app in the top 10 here in America. Model 15 is currently the highest ranked music app at 19.
I too am thrilled to hear that Moog worked closely with Apple on this one! It really shows! Future looks bright for us iOS musicians!!!
A million thank you's @GeertBevin and @MoogMusicInc for such an amazing app! I'm so happy
Now I really want an iPad Pro

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, you've been a wonderful audience. I'll be here all week. Try the veal. And don't forget to tip your servers!
@cl516 - Using attenuators might be helpful when using the ribbon/aux controllers. The ribbon is really long and the aux is really short, so boosting or weakening the signal might help.
