Hey guys - looking for some advise for this...
I want to use my ipad mini retina for live stuff. Ideally replacing my entire board possibly...
Problem is that my band use backing tracks for prerecorded synth tracks. Normally we use this splitter thingy into the 3.5mm which takes click and synth tracks. So using the basic music app works for that - however I want to use the ipad too for my stuff.

My band uses this https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/backtrax/id345007170?mt=8 I've not played around with it but I'd suggest you'd be best looking for something that ties into audiobus and then you can do multi routing, I'd suggest you look at something like the Steinberg UR44 as an interface and see what you can do with the multi IO
My band uses multiple iOS devices, I[m on an iPad air, drummer runs backing tracks from an iPad 4 and drum triggers off a 4th gen ipod touch. He could certainly minimise his but it's nice to have redundancy.

Can you run apps together nowadays?
And to make matters EVEN harder, we have one song with a midi controlled whammy. Is there any method yet we could use the ipad to do this?
Can do the guitar/synth stuff on a laptop but we really want to get away from using it. possibly asking for a miracle haha. If it could do the whammy and backing tracks that might be enough.

Jamup has a whammy in it, you'll need a midi controller still or an expression pedal plugged into a Blueboard

Righty - further to the above, i've done some digging and looks like I need an app that can transmit Midi CC11 messages? Does such app exist?
Also bought audiobus and the multi routing stuff to play with

Like a sequencer or just something sending a signal on Midi CC11 channel? I've had some luck with ther drum machines being able to chuck anything anywhere largly DM1
