Finally got my iPad today and was pleased to find that all of the iPhone apps I had also work on the iPad. They are scaled down but there is a x2 feature that stretches them out. This means that all of the iPod and iPhone apps listed here on my blog will work on your iPad.
PaklSound1 simulates a musical button pad for making up tunes on the go. It is loosely inspired by the Tenori-on and Monome, but is quite a bit simpler than either of those devices.
Basic Controls
Slow down playback
Speed up playback
Clear notes from current layer
Switch to previous layer (e.g., bass)
Switch to next layer (e.g., drums)
At end of sequence, switch to Part A
At end of sequence, switch to Part B

Tenori-On esque Matrix Sequencer For iPad
Aurora is our pattern based musical sequencing software. By simply choosing a musical scale every note you play is in perfect tune, leaving you to make your own great sounding music.
If you are a more accomplished musician you simply switch Aurora to advanced mode and you get full control over the built in instruments and effects, as well as many advanced modes such as the Atomizer and XY Mode which allows you to manipulate sound in real-time.

For anyone remotely interested in what the iPad and iPhone can do for music creation, Aurora’s probably the best thing you can buy.
MusicTech Magazine
A powerful and flexible composition tool that’s even plausible as a small-scale production suite.
Review from Australia
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this program… I have to stop myself using it in bed because it just keeps me up all night.
I have bought almost all the iPad music apps I could find and Aurora is by far the most innovative and the best! On top of that, no other I have found lets me get right into the sounds like Aurora.
Music Radar
A truly inspiring production environment. If you’re an iPad owner in the market for a portable production tool, you definitely won’t want to pass this one up.

Simply awesome, I thought the iPhone version was great, but this is in another league.
