So in the latest version of audiobus there's a cryptic message saying "additional bug fixes for the new super secret upcoming app made by the Audiobus team"
So, what's the new app, and when will we know?
TubeMIDI arrives, an app of the TubeSynth group
An Application of TubeSynth App Group.
You can play Tubes you created in TubeSynth using MIDI keyboard and Piano Roll.
- support recording with MIDI keyboard.
- multi-track support (up to 4 tracks).
- Inter-App Audio support.
Caution:
You can use this app without TubeSynth, but it only comes with simple Tube generator. For editing Tubes, you need TubeSynth.
WARNING!
Some waveform with rapid changes in sound pressure could be damaging to your ears at high amplitudes or for long periods. Please avoid using earphones or headphones when editing waveforms.
TubeMIDI costs $3.49 on the app store:

Prodigy got updated, but I didn't know it was there, or at least I don't remember it
Personally I think it's a sign that the whole mobile music thing is completely mainstream now. There was a time when I could remember pretty much every app, but those days are gone. There are far too many to remember and I find myself missing them these days.
This is a good example. It appears to be a nice little synth app, it's universal and cheap too ($0.99). I also like how it looks like a calculator!
Here's the app's description:

- Three oscillators for frequency modulation and subtractive synthesis
- FM matrix
- Ability to draw any waveform for each oscillator
- ADSR envelopes
- Effects - delay, reverb, freq. filter

- Polyphony 1-7 voices
- Presets list
- Supports Audiobus including state saving

Sysex Base universal arrives
What a great idea for an app, I'm surprised it hasn't been done sooner!
Sysex Base is a MIDI sysex file manager for iPhone and iPad. Back up your synth sounds, organize libraries, and load them back onto your synths! Designed to be quick and easy to use.
Some of the features:
- Record and send sysex data via a connected MIDI interface, or wireless MIDI
- Organize your sysex files into folders, rename them, delete them, etc.
- Open sysex files from other apps such as Mail, Dropbox, Google Drive
- Export sysex files to other apps just as easily
- Quickly view the data inside of a sysex file, including the individual bytes, the Manufacturer indicated, the file size, and the number of sysex messages in the file
Also, Sysex Base allows you to record incoming sysex data and transmit sysex to your synth at the same time! So you can even do backups of older synths (such as the Casio CZ series) that require a message to be sent to them to trigger a data dump. These trigger files can be saved within Sysex Base like any other file.
Sysex Base costs $9.99 on the app store:

Icaro - the connected sample player arrives

Icaro is the best way to get started with sample-based music on iPhone and iPad. Choose from the fun and simple packs, and perform live using the colored pads.
Sample packs are updated weekly, and include a mix of percussive and melodic sounds to encourage randomness and ‘happy accidents’ while you play.
