Standalone app + AUv3 plugin for GarageBand / Logic / AUM / Drambo / Loopy Pro. Tap pads, sculpt textures, sequence patterns, chain songs. Same instrument either way. Free to try. One purchase unlocks GranSample Pro — everything listed at the bottom. No subscription, no ads, no telemetry. NEW IN 1.5 Swing, in the app and in your host. Choke groups: hi-hats that cut each other off. Resample (Pro): record your beat back onto a pad as a bar-locked loop. A rebuilt AUv3 plugin editor. PATTERN BANK & SONG MODE Eight patterns per project (A–H). Switch live — the change waits for the bar end so the groove never stumbles. Then chain them into a song: tap letters to build, set repeats per section, loop or play once (song mode is Pro). Patterns, song and BPM save with the project. MODULATION MATRIX (PRO) LFO + ADSR envelope on 8 destinations per pad: grain position / size / pitch / density, volume, pan, pitch, playback start. Drag the envelope chart, set depth per lane — host-automatable in AUv3. SAMPLE CHOP (PRO) Slice any sample across the pads — equal grid, transient detection, or manual markers you drag. Audition before you commit; the grid shows where every slice lands. KIT SHARING Export any kit as a single .gskit file — samples, settings, effects, patterns. Send it anywhere. Importing is free for everyone; exporting is Pro. PAD NAMES, COLORS & CHOKE GROUPS Name your pads, pick from 8 colors, set one of 8 choke groups. AUv3 PLUGIN Load "nono.audio: GranSample" under AU Instruments in any AUv3 host. Same grid, Kits and engine, with Sound, Grain and Sequence tabs. 900 host-automatable parameters. Load your own samples without leaving the host. Sequencer locks to host transport; everything persists in the host project. LIBRARY Factory Kits + your Projects in one place — load, tweak, save. GRANULAR ENGINE Eight knobs per pad. Position scans the sample; grain size + density set the texture from pebbles to glass. Pitch + jitter, spray + stereo spread, four window shapes, an ADSR cloud envelope, Freeze for infinite sustain. 128 grains per voice — and you can watch them fire. CHROMATIC MODE Any pad becomes the root; the grid plays chromatically. STEP SEQUENCER Per-pad patterns at 16/32/64 steps, per-step velocity, drag-to-paint, swing. SAMPLE EDITOR Waveform view — drag the grain region, trim playback range, loop, reverse, normalize per pad. LINEAR or GRAN preview. Works inside the plugin too. EFFECTS Per-pad AND master bus. Reverb, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Filter — up to 8 per chain, automatable from any DAW. Hand-tuned presets; save your own. IPAD Pads bigger than an MPC; recorder, properties and sequencer get their own column. MIDI USB, Bluetooth (built-in browser), or virtual MIDI. MIDI Learn on every knob standalone, per-pad channel routing. The plugin routes MIDI in through the host and emits MIDI out for pad taps. RECORDING 60 seconds from the mic straight into a pad with a live waveform. Resample the master onto a pad, free or locked to 1–8 bars (Pro). Master bounces to WAV/M4A (Pro). 10 FACTORY KITS, 16 SAMPLES Late Night Room, Outer Space, Neon City, Midnight Dub, Tape Machine, Crystal Cave, and more — each with bespoke granular settings. FREE TIER Pads 1–8 — drums and melody, enough to finish a track — with the full granular engine, effects, pattern bank, mixer, MIDI in/out. Same in standalone and AUv3. Kit import (.gskit) is free too. GRANSAMPLE PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION All 16 pads unlocked everywhere — standalone AND AUv3 plugin Song mode — chain patterns into an arrangement Modulation matrix — LFO + envelope on 8 destinations per pad Sample chop to pads Resample to pads Kit export (.gskit) Per-pad ADSR envelope editor Custom backgrounds — wallpapers or your own photo, with dim and pad-opacity WAV / M4A export Made by one person who wanted a granular beat pad that fit on a phone — and in their DAW. ## GranSample Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/43/c3/c5/43c3c50d-1e6f-8572-1e1b-672028168d61/iphone_01_hero.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/72/ac/02/72ac02d3-e17f-ef76-e15d-6e21106a3858/iphone_02_song.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/51/46/7d/51467d64-c5b5-92e7-eb2b-5803f0778f5a/iphone_03_chop.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/fd/3d/96/fd3d9680-2c65-dc6b-dee2-d3c8266a3c24/iphone_04_granular.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/5f/dd/e6/5fdde6fe-0088-a7aa-b56c-f090ccf2a47f/iphone_05_modmatrix.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/8a/f6/c5/8af6c5ff-7c0e-a764-5bb7-ab73d1763f75/iphone_06_resample.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/f0/50/65/f0506504-0d36-b540-be66-c6d22f0ba7ca/iphone_07_effects.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/6d/38/64/6d386429-c84e-d6f6-7f31-e34ff130749c/iphone_08_mixer.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/11/e4/94/11e494a8-a132-5297-1204-97c1366cf0fa/iphone_09_library.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 10](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/80/d3/e6/80d3e6f0-d9b3-3735-8c9a-b8e7bec95bcc/iphone_10_pads.png/1320x2868.png) ## GranSample Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 12 (75%) - 4 stars: 2 (13%) - 3 stars: 1 (6%) - 2 stars: 1 (6%) - 1 stars: 0 (0%) ## GranSample Reviews in United States ### ***-- "I want to love this" I get only 2 screens.. 16 pads with 6 cut in half, and a mixer. No record, nothing.. I have tried maximizing, nothing seems to give me access. I paid for a pro version.. still nothing. I’m using an iPad m5 13 2tb Update: The developer contacted me, and was very understanding.. That is rare on here! I will definitely give it another shot! -- Dr Rick Williams, 2026-04-21 [View all GranSample reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## GranSample In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | GranSample Pro | $3.99 | ## GranSample Discovered Keywords - gransample - granular sampler ## GranSample Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/united-states) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/taiwan) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/germany) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/united-kingdom) - [Bulgaria](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/bulgaria) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/colombia) - [Cyprus](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/cyprus) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/czechia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/denmark) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/algeria) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/hong-kong) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/indonesia) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/india) - [Angola](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/angola) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/south-korea) - [Sri Lanka](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/sri-lanka) - [Madagascar](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/madagascar) - [Mauritius](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/mauritius) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/mexico) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/nigeria) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/netherlands) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/poland) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/russia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/singapore) - [Slovakia](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/slovakia) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/turkey) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/ukraine) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/iceland) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/argentina) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/australia) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/belarus) - [Belize](https://apptail.io/app/gransample-granular-sampler-AIoz/belize) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
