truthfully i would like to see a sequencer program with a song mode similar to that of lsdj or ableton for live use. that is to say a loop based live device that you write out loops and activate other loops to make a song progression.
1000X this. there are plenty of decent writing tools, but no real "performing" tools that allow for structural improvisation. given the possibilities of a touchscreen, the new inter-app midi sync and what iOS is capable of performance-wise, I'd say that would be a massive big deal! think of a tablet ableton rig??
]]>What is the 8Bitone like? Does it sequence well? There are mixed reviews on itunes.
Yeah it's cool. You can make songs with it. I would recommend nanoloop first, but yeah.
how do you use a tracker on a machine with no keyboard?
Its tricky but it can be done. Yeah sunvox does it. I'm not sure if I'm going to do it like that.
If there was a way to save patterns and sequence things, like, pull that idea to a full application capable of making a whole songs.
Let me clarify, The Kaoscillator thing is a seperate idea from the tracker/songmaker thing. It would be a live tool.
I like this idea. Maybe a totally new take on making sounds rather than just trying to tap a tiny keyboard or enter notes on a cramped grid.
Exactly, that's been the problem with a lot of iphone apps. Especially for live use.

Yea but if you have actually used the synth you quickly see its an emu in design only.. the i0s ms-20 emu from korg is arguably better sounding/more realistic.
This thing wasn't even 30 bucks. I like that it sounds like an over driven toy. LYKA BAWS.

sunvox very smartly uses a combo of virtual keyboard and touch controls.. its really fun!

i don't have an ipod/phone/pad but i think something like nanoloop/things with a step sequencer will be the best in terms of the interface
]]>I like the idea of drawing stuff and having music come from it. That would be a lot of fun
]]>How would you guys feel about a synthesizer that generated patterns and modualtions algorithmically, based on you drawing little shapes or something? That might go good with the kaoss osc thing.

]]>gizmo- so all that's left to you is to write a Kaossilator emulator.
Bing bing bing!! That's a good one.
Thanks guys, I have a better idea of some things to make now. 
I'll let you know when I have something.
Edit: Actually one more question.
