This free app is not an emulation but a sample player which allows you to play the actual sound and digital character of the DX7 and its instantly recognizable presets.

Quantiloop
Now at version 2.7, Quantiloop is a live looper for iPad that reproduces the experience of hardware loopers. The app is constantly updated, and the most recent releases introduced some great new features (Quantiloop can now run stand-alone without the need for any other software, among other things). Trust us, once you get Quantiloop (and a compatible controller), you might start thinking about selling your good old loopers.
