It really does. Moreover, it uses the RTF file format, like LSB.
It's also available for Mac.
On the musical side:

I also have Meteor. I know it from Windows Mobile.

I bought iRig, iRig MIDI, iRig Mic and iKlip. All look like smart
hardware. In case you wondered: the iMic plugs into the headphones
connector and replicates that port. It has a 3-step sensitivity
switch, and it comes with a clip to mount it on a stand.
I also completed my IK software: AmpliTube, SampleTank, VocaLive. Even
all of GrooveMaker (was on sale), to expose myself to that approach in
music.
I keep expanding my collection of acoustic instrument emulations. That
is a great field for iPad and even iPhone.
In the sequencer domain, you may be interested in Symphonix Evolution
(or the mere Player). Developer's website:
<http://www.vinclaro.com.au/ios/symphonix/symphonix.htm>.
It is somewhat like Notion, and it features a GS compatible wavetable
synth. I have that one too...
