iRig Keys Pro + iPad/iPhone + ____?____ = me playing MY samples on stage?

I find myself running into a bit of a brick wall with this, so crossing over from the guitar and band side to Keys & Synths.

 

All I want to do is two things - 1) play my own samples from a keyboard on stage and 2) play piano/synth on stage - using my iOS device and the iRig Keys (which seems to be the best option since it talks directly to the iOS). We play some 80s/90s rap and I have some samples that really enhance the songs.

 

I've got #2 under control, I think. But #1 is proving to be a pain in my ignorant arse.

Sampletank, which came with iRigKeys, doesn't allow me to play my samples.

 

What APP is out there for a reasonable price that can do this? Anything?

 

OK. I just found BEATMAKER 2. Is that a winner?

 

Thanks

If you want to play the samples chromatically from the MIDI keyboard, there are apps like these that can play custom samples and/or soundfonts that you can assemble on your computer:

 

 

BS-16i

Soundfont Pro

Caustic

(I think 3.1 adds MIDI keyboard playability from iOS)

 

 

 

 

MIDI Keyboard/MIDI Sampler/ME MIDI Sampler

(it's a little unclear as to how these apps are different from each other)

 

If you want to trigger the sample from on-screen pads on the iDevice itself, there are other apps for that.
