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.

"Machines That Play Loops"
Besides Octatrack and say, Force.
What are some others still relevant and available?
This is an odd niche in the marketplace and I hope to see more items available in.
What say you?

Thanks great alternatives
Like the new Pioneer stuff for sure!
Great flash drive if I am correct with some new wifi features.
Oh yeah!
Not sure... the djs1000 hasn’t internal drive (works over usb pendrive or connected to computer) and about wifi I have no idea...
For me the combo loop recorder, loop player ala launchpad plus tr sequencer is atractive.
There have been numerous attempts to catalogue them all, and rank them in top 10 lists, but something always gets left out:
