Because I have some money to burn on music-making toys I'm slowly but surely getting deeper into the alternatives to keyboards, guitars etc. (though I am thinking of adding a small bass amp to my set up for dub grooves).
I've got a Tenori-On which I love messing about with, but it's not the easiest thing to navigate, so I'm looking at alternative devices, which began with the Model:Cycles moved on to an iPad running various synth/groovebox apps and now I've added the Novation Circuit Tracks to the list of potential purchases.
Other suggestions welcome
but bear in mind that my uses may not be the "traditional" ones, as I will definitely be running any or all of whatever I buy through my pedals and making everything sound worse
If I get the chance this weekend I may well pick up an iPad (a basic one rather than a super expensive one as I won't be looking to use it as a DAW, just something to run weird synthy things into my pedal set up) as something to start playing with while I decide if I want anything else.

Keezy Drummer is fantastic, but just needs a way to save the beats
checkout spaceship - a granular synth for iOS
Flip and L7 are also good for recording and looping sounds:

considered using L7 as my go to looper, till I got the Beebo
Moog’s apps are all excellent, Model D is my fave.
Mellowsound does a nice mellotron.
Yeah it's super fun an creative.
Really easy to hook up and control other equipment with as well.
I remembered I have Google Drive set up, so I managed to move it to there and then chopped it down to a more manageable size.
