Article: "Beatsurfing iPad App Lets You Design A Frankenstein Music Instrument" - found at Fast Company
There is an awesome app for the iPad currently in beta called Beatsurfing. Basically, it takes the idea of a MIDI, or a Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and allows you to build an instrument from the ground up instead of using the normal interface for regular instruments. This allows for some awesome instrument concepts not taken advantage of before in such a way, like a mixture of vocals, beats, and distortion as shown in the video. The best part about this app is the fact that because everything you make in the app is of your own creation, you are able to decide much more easily how prevalent certain parts of the instrument are when playing. Not only that, but you can play two parts of the 'Frankenstein'-like instrument at once, to create a more complex sound.
The app is still in beta, but people can take part in it here.
