## tardigrain Description
Tardigrain is a granular synthesiser for iOS that runs standalone or as an AU plugin. Sounds are created by taking smaller fragments of a sample and playing them back in a non linear fashion, with settings for grain size, direction, step size and more. Process the sound further through effects like reverb, wave shaper and sample crush. Tardigrain supports connections with AudioCopy, AudioBus, Inter App Audio and AUv3. Plus all audio parameters can be modulated by MIDI, as AU parameters and by aftertouch on the build in keyboard. Now also a selected set of parameters can be modulated by LFOs och notes triggered by a new sequencer/arpeggiator. 

+++ Record your own samples or import using AudioCopy/drag'n drop
+++ Chromatic granualar playpack
+++ Effects (Wave shaper, Reverb, Sample crusher, Pitch and stereo spread)
+++ Resonant filter (low, band and high pass)
+++ Keyboard and MPE modulation of any audio parameters
+++ Note trigger sequencer/arpeggiator
+++ 4 LFO sources for modulating a selected set of parameters
+++ Multiple factory presets to get you started
+++ Save and load your own settings and samples
+++ Inter App Audio, AudioBus and AUv3
+++ Core MIDI, Inter App Audio MIDI and AUv3 MIDI

## tardigrain Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten

### **--- "Update broke it."
I can’t no longer import wave files to this or Elsa. 😕
-- whyshouldi?, 2025-11-20

### *---- "FormatAudio.wavOnlychargesample?"
If before it was allowed to upload files. Mp3, why doesn't he do it anymore? I work with .mp3 files, because they weigh less than .wav files. Have you already joined some commercial pact, to be able to give preponderance to the .wav files? Developers sold. Like doctors, who invent the disease, to be able to sell medical products, to brands.
-- ojomamones, 2025-09-11

### *---- "Volume level problems iPhone 12 Pro"
I can’t really honestly rate this yet because I can barely hear it! At volume settings other synths are quite loud at, loaded side-by-side…and with this app’s gain all the way up…still barely audible. Also, some bundled patches go into a permanently flickering state that seems like another bug.
-- MhueD, 2025-06-25

### ***** "Simply the best granular on the apps store."
And I tried many of them. Tardigrain won out because it is so intuitive to use and implement in AUM, and it has real-time processing.
-- (In)Sitze, 2025-04-25

### *---- "No manual"
No manual. Can’t load my own samples. I want my money back.
-- Flurmballs, 2025-03-07

### ***** "Best granular synth on iOS"
Hands down then best granular synth on iOS. Easy to use and always sounds good.
-- AnE202, 2024-10-07

### ****- "Unique granular synth"
I love this developer!?! Always great innovative, unique, original style and flavor to all his apps. They are all so phenomenal and aesthetically appealing. No labels or bunch of text so it makes it easy to just explore and play around. Great for happy accidents!?! Keep up the great work!?!
-- StarvedArt, 2024-07-11

### ***** "Legendary Developer"
This dev Eric is the real deal. We appreciate every single project offered by him and they are consistently used in our studio of high end gear. Eric’s instruments may not have every single modern bell and whistle but they are intuitive and translate well to Elektron samplers or any hardware sampler. 
- The use cases are seemingly infinite. 
- The code is memory efficient and runs smoothly. 
- They play nicely with your workflow. 
- Farmable sounds, effects, experimentation.. 
I hope this developer get into making hardware because he would literally be the next Soma.
-- EthanGross, 2024-07-01

### ***** "Interestingly subtle❣️"
Time for a new review. First, Tardigrain has been around a lot longer than the 5-year App History implies. :-) What? Some 15-18 years? I found Tardigrain now long after it first was released. Way before Alligoopa’s demise. My first Allihoopa offering was from Tardigrain. Several Japanese members were excited that not only did I know of the tiny beast AND I made a song to them. lol I have always had Tardigrain on my mobile device! There still isn’t anything quite like it on the App Store. It’s other worldly and under worldly! It’s simple but affective. Keep thinking out of the box! (And very stable standalone playing in the background with other apps while I read on iOs.)
-- Eriptron, 2024-03-09

### ***-- "This app is amazing but…"
Please fix the issue that causes the microphone to be on after closing the app. It should only be on while recording
-- Chad Carpenter, 2023-01-14

### ***** "Yes! Yes! and Yes!"
Just updated to the 1.1.0 version. Pitch bend now? Yes, yes and yes! Also, appreciate the UI changes, it was greatly needed. Great job on developing & supporting your app! 

Tardigrain & rymdigare are my desert island apps!
-- Ase o/m/g, 2022-06-12

### ****- "Good, but black borders are looking bad"
Thanks for such an awesome tool, but it’s looks like outdated on the new iPhones. It’s would be 5/5 if there no borders on the sides.
-- OlegSmirnoff, 2021-12-30

### ***** "Awesome"
This is easily one of the best music app out there. Super fun to use, beautifully designed and most importantly it sounds great!
-- Matreve, 2021-01-18

### ****- "Good for weirdness"
It can make sounds from very weird to quite musical.
-- Michaelmenary, 2020-12-19

### ***** "Love this synth but..."
Thanks for the new update! 
But!!! Please make microphone monitor recallable for saved sessions. This is one of my favorite reverbs as an auv3 effect but i have to open each instance and “press” the monitor button to activate the the reverb effect. Thanks so much!
-- Mehmui, 2020-12-10

### ***** "love it"
made a cool track with this, I was looking for something strange capable of making strange sound this was it, I sampled a bass note from a piano and it sounded so dark and ambient, this app is interesting and can make something simple sound unique, good for drones, love the look, love the parameter changes possible, high sound quality
-- BossHaussguymanbrotha, 2020-12-08

### ***** "Awesome"
Love it super intuitive great sound scapes
-- Jeff aloft yeah, 2020-08-25

### ***** "amazing"
100% recomendable
-- Irvim.94, 2020-04-20

### ***-- "Please use Files"
I love this app but AudioCopy only for sample import is so sad. You’re limiting your app by using another dev’s outdated, poorly supported code. I wish you’d use Files but at the very least *please* consider import using AudioShare

Other than that huge negative this is such an excellent synth.
-- Battlecakes, 2020-01-16

### ***** "Super SoundDesign Plus"
Very exciting.... excited sound.
-- El Gennaro, 2019-12-23
