Playful Music Creation from Pelican. Pelican 7 are developers of Lily [$1.99], which is another cross between an interactive musical game and a touchscreen musical instrument.
Create melodies and sequence notes with a very relaxing visual display. Unfortunately there is no support for Audiobus or IAA so getting audio from this app will take a bit of ingenuity. It does sound amazing so I hope to see some useful updates in the future.

Built for Live performance and hands free use, Quantiloop recreates the simplicity of a hardware loop pedal in an iOS app. Attach a MIDI foot controller and control it the way you want. No MIDI controller at hand; just preset your loop length, enable auto–record or a count–in and your loops will automatically close, no hands or feet required. Big onscreen controls allow for easy configuration and tactile control by vocalists or beat boxers. Focus on your performance instead of fiddling with dip switches or complex menu’s.

The following video shows you how to make a Future Bass snare drum in Garageband. Ok well the snare is really cool and so is the rest of the track. I was impressed with the simple layering Arvid Sandgren uses to achieve just the right sound to make convincing Future Bass. Watch and see how Avrid quickly layers three samples to get the perfect snare drum.
