Finally picked up an iPad for our daughter for Christmas, and I see that Tabletop is still a buck - are the included bits worth it? Or is it mostly an IAP money grab?
Native Instruments 'iMaschine' (Beat Sketchpad) $4.99 -> $1.99 I am not the dev—just passing the info: App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store. Bought it (without IAPs) and it sounds just great (tested on iPhone 4 with Sennheiser and AKG headphones). Runs fine on iPad 2 as well (although not a native iPad app) in 2x view mode. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Look at the dev's website for tutorial videos, sound demos and forums.
Mobile Music Workstation 'BeatMaker 2' (Universal-App) $19.99 -> $9.99 App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store. Second sale like this, the first one in May lasted five days. From their website: "BeatMaker 2 is available for only $9.99 during Thanksgiving and Black Friday only!" The app was published in Feb 2011. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
'iSequence HD' for iPad $14.99 -> $2.99 App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store. All-time best price for the first time. Published in May 2010, eight updates, the last one a month ago. There is an iPhone version (no sale) and a free iPhone Lite version. Additional instruments via In-App Purchase (bought the Trance sounds). Sounds great!

algoriddim's djay: iPad app 50 % sale App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store. Highly recommended! Second sale since Dec 2010. Extremely fast on iPad 2. The iPhone version is always $.99—not only an amazing deejay tool (w auto beat matching) but simply the best iTunes music player.
'GyroSynth' FREE for a limited time Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store.

honestly, forget it. the Synths are mediocre at best the FX are bad. Seriously this must have the most bad Filter I have EVER heard and the actually useful stuff is too expensive. If you have BM2 you don´t need this ever.
Glitch Machine Hey guys, here's my algorithmic music app that was just released yesterday: GlitchMachine Madgarden "great lil noisemaker! do like." -- @deadmau5 "This app is great." ... "who needs an arp when you have #glitchmachine" … $2.99 Buy Now Watch Media Details"great lil noisemaker! do like." -- @deadmau5 "This app is great." ... "who needs an arp when you have #glitchmachine" -- @DjAero Glitch Machine is a generative music synthesizer. Expressions are edited live to produce sound interactively. The magic of Glitch Machine's synthesis is in the BYTE, which wraps a final output value to a number between 0 - 255. The repeating patterns (or chaos) of this 'wrapping' produces waveforms and beats. Features: - Interactive, live code editing, code line muting - Waveform and data visualizations - Live performance features such as XY pads, sliders, and code preset triggers - Fast-forward, rewind, pause, and single-step through your expression's waveform - 100 levels of undo/redo - Saved custom sessions - Expression sharing via email and Twitter - WAV export to iTunes - Save and load expressions - Supports all device orientations - Configurable theme Information Seller:Madgarden Genre: Release:Dec 02, 2011 Updated:Oct 22, 2012 Version:1.2 Size:305.2 kB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating: (2) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal I'm super tired right now, but I will pop in later tomorrow and talk more about it, heh.

The old ones seem to still work, but are not up on the App store - how often does Amidio throw out the old, and replace with new? Their apps are not cheap, and if they are replacing them every year - perhaps better to go with a more stable company?

It's on the iPad my daughter is getting for Christmas, and is definitely going to be a better app for her than for me. Multiplayer jamming is what this app is all about, two guitars, drums and a keyboard. Keyboard has organs/piano/synths, guitars have a handful of sounds as do the drums (which are probably the most fun to play.) Keyboard is too limited with no octave scrolling and not even a full octave. Guitars have a few effects, can instantly play a chord, or you can play it. Problem with them is that the chord selection buttons on Guitar 1 + 2 are tied together, which does let you coordinate chords, but it would be better if they were not linked. Fun to play with, but most people will probably want to pass on this.
