SoundGrid

I’m an avid Tenori-On user. The fact that in SoundGrid each instrument needs to have its own scale chosen independently is pretty much an annoyance that breaks the app for me :/

Not sure if the button for patterns is working. Like I click it and nothing happens. So I am stuck being able to only play the first pattern and it will not continue playing onto the 2nd one.

A well-designed musical tool that is more complex than it appears at first glance. For instance, the ability to set loop ranges for each pattern means being able to play a 7 note sequence on top of 12 if so desired. There is a nice selection of instruments available, but of course I want more. (Note to developer: how does one access the web interface mentioned in the description, in order to create instruments?) Another example: adjustable feedback and timing of the delay effect, either in milliseconds or in multiples of a 32nd note ... and fractional multiples if you want. 😎 Very glad to have found this gem.

It is back. Reposting my 5 star rating. I made some awesome and surprising tracks with this back in the day. Doing it again right now. I was amazed to see it available again. Thanks.

App doesn't work on iPhone 6 plus. Constantly crashes and freezes. Fix it or refund my money!

I really want to give this a higher rating, but I can't even make a new grid or download a grid made by other users without the app freezing.

I have owned most of the matrix sequencers in this class including the expensive ones. There were honestly just too many to try them all and I had to draw the line somewhere. I wish I had picked this one up a couple of years back. I bet I would have had fun with it. It does not seem to have some of the modern features I would consider necessary for my workflow but it you are on a budget and want to try one of these grid style pattern sequencers, this one has some useful capabilities. With a bit of love from the developer this could be a nice alternative to the rather expensive apps that it is similar to. Seeing as how it hasn't had an update since 2011 I am not sure we will see that.

This app is very basic. It is inexpensive, but the samples sound quite bad. There is horrible static on the samples when using headphones. There are not many samples to work with and the sounds get old quick. I would advise saving your money and getting a better app that has more possibilities. I may end up deleting this, because of the sound quality.

This is the most intuitive electronic music app I've come across in the App Store, and it delivers plenty of bang for your buck. The import/export options make are a huge plus, and it's layout actually lends itself surprisingly well to live performances. There are quite a few of instruments, as well as the option to create your own, but I really, really, hope the developers add more.

What an amazing piece of software for the iPhone! The features and function of this app can usually be expected in dedicated sequencer hardware. Anyone with or without a musical ear will love spending lots of time on this app.
