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

TouchOSC drum pad interface on the apple iPad, configured to trigger a Redrum Drum Machine in Propellerhead Record+Reason. Transport and effect mapping make programming and live tweaking a breeze. Interfaced via wifi and translated to MIDI with Osculator: http://www.osculator.net
Here’s a really great tutorial from the bloke in the video http://www.peff.com/journal/2010/05/04/touchoscosculator-ipad-templates/

Looptastic Producer, the flagship of Sound Trends’ line of mobile music-production apps, is now more expressive, thanks to a flexible new mixer and effects. The three mixer zones now expand on the fly to fit the loops you add, facilitating custom cueing and submixes. Performers can now mute or maximize each loop with a single tap on its fader. And each zone can now be switched in or out of the effects loop with a tap, adding variety and motion to the mix.
A new “scratch strip” above the faders shows the waveform of the last loop touched; tapping anywhere on the waveform retriggers the sound from that point. In looping mode, the sound then continues from the correct point in the recording: Scratch without screwing up! Turn off looping mode, and the sound plays only while your finger is down — excellent for deconstructing speech and triggering sound effects. Tap the side of the screen and the new tempo slider glides out; Looptastic changes the tempo without changing the pitch.

Playing Around with ProLoop by Trapcode from Calvin Cardioid on Vimeo.
It can play up to 6 loops simultaneously and besides changing the volume each loop can also be pitched/transposed, reversed, muted, panned, ring/frequency/phase-modulated by any other loop, and
synchronized to a masterloop.
Pitch can be smoothly adjusted or quantized to a musical unit such as octaves, semitones or a custom division of an octave. Or put it in sync-mode to automagically fit the length of the choosen masterloop.
The sync offset can be adjusted to have loops sync at other positions than their start, and the sync can be turned off individually to allow the loops to have different lengths to create ever-changing layers of soundtextures.
There is also a Freeze FX that lets you temporarily “freeze” a loop with adjustable grain size and position.
You can control all the loops in real-time, and multi-touch will let you adjust several parameters simultaneously, for example crossfading by changing the volume of two loops at the same time.
ProLoop comes bundled with many loops by professional musicians that you can use and play around with, and demo sessions to get you started, but the real power comes by the fact that you can record your own loops straight into ProLoop or upload your own professionally recorded soundfiles to ProLoop through your web-browser! You can also paste
audio from other music apps into ProLoop.
ProLoop is available for $5.99
