Haha. Sounds like you already have what you need. All you need is an adapter like MIDI Mobilzer or iRig MIDI to plug any MIDI controller directly to the iPhone and use an app that allows MIDI IN like Sample Lab, Nanostudio...etc.

what he means is... you could use the synth's voice and control that via midi as well... so he mentioned that seeing as ram was a concern of yours... right? so basically, what ever would be playing off the said synth... would not be loaded into the mpc's ram... as a sample.
back in the day this was very important because ram came in low amounts but none the less at a great cost.. so what people did was use analogue synths like moogs for example.. they dont use ram, they generate the sound in real time in an analogue fashion. well those sounds could be sequenced and triggered via midi... and the very small amounts of ram (ie: sample time) would not be wasted on long synth pad sounds but reserved for small short drum sounds.
