Had my iPad for a few weeks now and I’m loving it. I’ve picked up some cool synths and percussion stuff, but I still feel like I’m missing something soundwise. Here’s my entire collection of stuff.

I’m still searching for a few more holes to fill in my setup, though. Some of the synths also don’t really get used much (Ripplemaker, Primer, Oscillator, Nanologue, Analog Synth X, FM Player) as I haven’t really connected with them.
Plucked sounds - Laplace, tbh, kind of sucks. I’m not a huge fan of the sound or the interface, and for every 1 good sound I get out of it, I manage to make 100 that are useless and crappy. What else is out there?
Drums - Elastic and the Ruismaker stuff are neat, but not really what I’m looking for. I’d love something that is a mix between Rytm and MD synthesis. Patterning 2 is fantastic, but I want to be able to make my own samples.
Additive Synth - While Phosphor 2 looks cool, the GUI on Quanta (another AD synth) is a bit if a bitch to use so I figure P2 will be similar.
FM Synth - I tried Phasemaker and didn’t gel with it. I’d love something that is similar in ease of use to the Digitone.
Lastly, I highly prefer AudioUnit compatible plugins over IAA, which I know puts a bit of a limit on these things.
