Thanks for the explanation, Fritz.  Being neither a Mac person nor really a great lover of MIDI it's amazing how this stuff has progressed.  Just yesterday I was listening to music on my phone streamed from the Amazon Cloud and I got to thinking how the blazes I would explain was I was doing to my 25-year-old self (who thought he was pretty tech-savvy at the time)

You're play a 'computer music file' someplace but you don't really know where other than to say it is 'in the clouds', even though you have the 'CD' of the music, and it's being beamed across some 'vast international computer network' that doesn't seem to have that many wires to a 'mobile phone' from where you can hear it. Get out of here. Next thing you'll be telling me there is a black President in the White House....

From the nextweb.com:

"‘Virtual MIDI’ – essentially the ability to link the apps together and allow them to control one another much in the way that a normal MIDI controller might control a software synth on a PC or Mac."

in iOS or other pad enviroments.

Apparently the makers of Audiobus are working on interapplication sync for a future upgrade. I would speculate that the inevitable convergence of iOS and MacOS will see  Coreaudio and Coremidi being integrated into a pad environment...just a guess.
