A little bit OT, but I recall seeing a thread like this before. (Months ago, and apps often change, new ones, etc.)

Curiosity got to me and I finally broke down and bought my first IOS device, an Ipod Touch (current version, 4). I should receive it on Friday.

As my phone (T-Mobile HTC HD2, Windows Mobile)plays back music well, and I even have an old classic Ipod as well, my main interest in getting the Itouch is to try out some IOS apps, especially music apps.

One that I would be most interested in trying out (and not OT), if it were available, would be BIAB for IOS. There is something like that? Well, unless one came out very recently that I don't know about, not really. The BIAB IOS app I have heard of is not a standalone IOS app, but is a remote control app to run one's desktop BIAB over the internet from the IOS device. That doesn't interest me much. I would like a BIAB that actually runs completely from the IOS device, without needing connection to the desktop. Of course such an app would not use RT and RD, but simply MIDI. (I think these devices come with a decent GM softsynth built in.) I certainly hope that is developed in the future, and for Android as well.)

I have heard though, that there are other auto-accompaniment apps kind of like BIAB, for IOS. Has anyone here used one or more? Your review? What would you recommend?

(By the way, I saw the post about the free PG Music Pitch Invasion game for IOS, and will likely download it. I am not really interested in games though, so don't know if I will do much with it.

What other music apps for IOS would people here recommend? Metronomes? Tuners? Are there any good MIDI sequencer apps, like Cakewalk/Sonar for IOS??

By the wsy, I bought the Akai Synthstation 25 keyboard a few months ago, to use as a very small USB MIDI controller for a laptop, but seeing that slot that an Iphone or Itouch can slide into, is a factor that caused me to decide to buy the Itouch. So it would be nice if apps recognize the keyboard input of the Synthstation 25.

Anyhow---- I am open to hearing any and all suggestions for music apps for IOS that will work on the Itouch 4, including with Synthstation.

Thank you.
