Plug an electric guitar into your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch and play through classic amps and stompbox effects. Use the built-in microphone or a guitar to record, or capture any performance. Then mix up to eight tracks to create a song you can share.

DopplerPad is a great app. It’s intuitive, fun, looks great, and sounds good. Making melodies can be a little difficult (live recording is favored over step sequencing), but even just messing around this app can be fun.

BeatMaker was one of the first iPhone music apps and still one of the best. Musicians who have used an Akai MPC sampler will find themselves right at home. There are 16 pads, each of which can be assigned to a sample. Live recording is fun, and it’s very easy to make something that sounds cool, since may of the samples are actually short loops. Sequencing modes are also possible. Overall this app has pretty much everything you would want from a sampler. The UI is fairly easy to pick up though it is a ‘multi-level’ interface and it may take a little time to figure out where everything is. This app is definately a must have for rap / hip hop and is useful for many other genres as well.
