A rather interesting sampling tool from developer Bolasol, werkbench gets a graphic overhaul, looper with audio paste and improvements to the engine. Did you know you can swipe your finger across the Werkbench logo to stretch and stutter the currently selected sound? Another weird but cool feature is you can do a tap tempo while syncing midi clock by hitting the big SYNC label above the + - keys.
Even though I have been successful at getting WerkBench to Sync multiple ways, I was unable to sync the midi clock to an app on the same iPad. So as it stands, virtual midi clock between apps with WerkBench does not werk...However, I can midi slave sync WerkBench with a wireless network session using a second iPad with either MoDrum, DM-1 or DrumJam as a wireless network session master. Only certain programs let you enable a network session such as the ones listed above. I've also got WerkBench to sync with hardware midi sequencers using hardwired Core Midi with a M-Audio Uno MidiSport with the Camera Connection Kit. The last way to start sync WerkBench is by using a macbook pro (running OSX Lion with whatever DAW you use to send midi sync out) by enabling the macbook's wifi and going in to it's audio midi setup located in Finder-> Utilities-> Audio Midi Setup-> Window (top bar) -> Show Midi Window -> Network-> Double click on iPad that is connected to the same Wi-fi network. Using an Ad-hoc connection between the macbook and the iPad, instead of regular Wi-fi, did not seem to make a notable difference using iPad 4 with WerkBench.
How did you get midi sync to work with werkbench and DM1? I've tried all afternoon to no avail!

Don't give up, just use another iPad, Macbook or PC and if you don't have any of those you can also try syncing with an Ipod Touch running MoDrum but i'm not sure about DM-1.
