NLog Adds Support for Audiobus - Inter-App Audio on iOS
via discchord"In the picture above [left] you see SoundPrism Pro and NLog Synth Pro acting as the sound sources. These are both being fed to an instance of Loopy HD. All of which are running on the same iPad. Alone this is great news; another app to play with on Audiobus!"
Note Audiobus is not yet available on the iPad. When it is you will be able to feed audio from one up to another.
The following is an example via dischord. Click the link for the full post including notes from Rolf of NLog.

PPG WaveGenerator Price Announced
via Cornel Hecht on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge
"We left the best news until last - there's been a lot of questions about the pricing of an app created and crafted by the Father of the PPG Wave.
We were clear that this was never going to be a toy, but a serious product, as close to a synth that used to cost thousands of dollars, but now on the iPad. However Wolfgang wanted to share his baby with as many people as possible.
So we're not going to do any silly 'buy it for X for 7 days' kind of promos ever, it's simply going to be $19.99! Outstanding value for an amazing pro synth on the iPad."
A full blown synth from the creator of PPG for just $19.99. Truly amazing. I can't help but think of the PPG Realizer (don't miss this post) and how much it would have cost at the time due to the hardware. No, PPG WaveGenerator is not the re-incarnation of the PPG realizer, but it was a hardware device hosting various synthesis engines. With the iPad, the cost of hardware development is gone. The same could be said for soft synths on the PC, but the iPad is hardware synthesis, no different than the PPG Realizer. It really is a new age for digital hardware synthesis as I went into in this post and others, actually starting back in my New World of Synthesis post just before the iPad was announced. If anyone out there still doubts the iPad as a serious piece of musical equipment, I'd love to hear why. Also see my post on Thoughts on the iPad as a Synth and Controller. Note, the device doesn't have to be the iPad of course. It can be any tablet including Android and the upcoming Windows 8 tablets. The key of course is the usability/interface for the app and the apps available for the device. The iPad just currently has the lead. It also supports MIDI. If you pick up a Windows 8 tablet and want MIDI, be sure to pick up one with the Pro version of the OS (see this post).
$19.99 for the next PPG!!! Thank you Wolfgang Palm!
Now here's a crazy thought for hardware manufacturers out there. Imagine a Waldorf AFB16 iPad cradle to add analog filters with full IO like the Alesis iO dock. OK, the price would probably be insane, but.. :) Update: I should note my intent is not to imply analog filters sound any better, the point is the obvious next step for devices like the iPad - integration with external forms of synthesis. I'm thinking along the lines of mixing something like the MiniBrute with the iPad. What sort of things can hardware synthesizer manufacturers create to fully integrate with the iPad as a synthesis engine within their hardware engine. Yes, probably a bit far fetched, but Waldorf did attempt it with the AFB16.

"this video shows the mh11 in action. i additionally used a LFO as clock, a divider, a quntizer, a VCO, and a LPG. it is a simple patch and video to demontrate how this sequencer woeks, so no fancy soundscapes, just an odd synth line..."
