Retro Future
Inspired by the oil can delays of the 60s and our previous granular explorations, Curtis™ and Spunk™, Soup brings you a virtual magnetic fluid that you can record onto, slosh around, and play back from. You can use it as a unique delay effect or more like a granular synthesizer, concocting your own wholly novel sounds.
Quantum Sound
Soup breaks up recordings into individual sound quanta with which you can interact as if they made up an audio fluid. They can be played linearly or randomly, forward, backward, or even sideways. They can, moreover, be stirred together, giving a whole new meaning to mixing sound.
Sounds Touching
Not only is this an extremely visual audio experience, it’s terrifically tactile as well. With support for multi-touch, Soup lets you get in there and mangle the fluid in a way that’s simply not possible with knobs and faders.
Audio Palette
Soup will let you paint with sound. You can record external sounds through the microphone or import WAV files, slathering sound over the virtual fluid. Then your fingers can become play heads, reading back the sounds from any position, or multiple positions at once.

Soup Granular FAQ
Is Soup Granular free?
Yes, Soup Granular is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Soup Granular legit?
Not enough reviews to make a reliable assessment. The app needs more user feedback.
Just purchased this, knowing it is stand alone only, with no connectivity to other apps, because I’m granular addicted, lol.
I think it is a really clever idea.
But I was disappointed to find that it won’t send sound to my Bluetooth devices.
Also am having regular crashes, when loading files, and pressing play.
Sometimes it recovers, and starts playing, sometimes not.
Would be nice if it had more than one playback head.
Another feature I would like to see in an update, is the ability to apply modulation to some/all of the controls.
Also midi learn, so midi from other apps, or external hardware, could control the app’s functions.
As far as cpu usage goes, iPad hardware has come a long way, since this app was released.
Is there no way to optimize the software performance, so it is less stress on system resources, and could connect to other music apps?
I suspect that this app is now abandonedware, as there have been no updates for a few years.
It’s a shame, as the idea has a lot of potential.
Not optimized for 11-in
Rad sounds. Unfortunately, the app isn’t optimized to fit 11-in iPad. I can see a couple buttons cut off at the bottom of the screen. Perhaps there’s more missing that I can’t see. Please, please, please update to fix—I’d use this app all the time in that case.
Working again on 13.5.1
Thanks for fixing your baby. Things can get interesting again!
(old panic review follows)
Help! Doesn't work on 13.3
It's an awesome app, but it is completely broken by iOS 13. It won't even start on 3rd gen Pro running 13.3 - it just force quits. I've owned all of the Strange Agency apps, and most of them sadly died in the 32 bit app purge. This one should be fine, though, but it isn't. It was very expensive, and it won't even start.
UPDATE: iOS 13.5.1 app is still dead in the water. Don't buy it if you're running anything past iOS 12.
No option to buy
I’d like to make the purchase, but can’t?
Also, I can’t load this in AUM? Without being able to load in AUM, I’m not sure I will make the purchase.
Make this IAA (and eventually AUV3) and I’ll mark the purchase.
Great Granular Glitchy Goodness
If you enjoy mangling your audio, this is the app for you. The last update restored the ability to import files. The ability to record and export your recordings from within the app allows you to use them somewhere else.
Glad to get Strange again
I wish this had better file import! It’s a blast to play with but poor file import is harshing my mellow. There are a few ways to make .wav import easy, including opening the door to Files app in/out access. The GUI panel for file import is glitched too. Oops please fix the bug.
Don’t buy this
App doesn’t work at all
Interesting
Some great sounds to be had out of this one. Another cool app from Strange.
