- 📦GranSample - Granular Sampler updated to version 1.7.0v1.7 — your projects in the plugin and your host's preset menu, one library for the app and the plugin, and a free Export to Files.
• PROJECTS IN THE PLUGIN — your projects now appear in your host's preset menu (AUM, GarageBand and others) and in the plugin's own library, free; pads 9–16 still need Pro. Save as Project in the plugin makes a new project the app opens too. Saving a preset in the host under a project's exact name saves over that project, and deleting the preset deletes the project. The plugin plays a project's pads and the pattern selected when it was saved; its other patterns, the song, chromatic mode, MIDI mappings and tempo stay in the app and are kept when the plugin saves. A host session keeps its own copy of the project: load it again to pick up changes made in the app.
• PROJECTS LEAVE THE FILES APP — the app and the plugin now keep projects in one shared place, so they no longer show in Files. They move the first time you open GranSample after updating. The plugin can't move them, so open GranSample once on every iPhone or iPad where you use the plugin. The project files from before the update stay in Files → GranSample → Project Backups, and GranSample never changes them.
• EXPORT TO FILES — in the Library, tap ••• on a project and choose Export to Files… to save it as a .gskit file anywhere in Files, free. Every .gskit now also carries the patterns, the song, BPM and swing, the MIDI mappings and the INT SEQ switch. A pad whose audio file is missing is exported without it, and the alert says which; such a kit opens in GranSample 1.7 or later.
• SCENES AND PROJECTS — the factory kits are now called Scenes in the app too, as the plugin already called them, and your saved work is Projects.
• CHROMATIC MODE — tapping an empty key plays the root, Chop asks before it turns chromatic off, and the Sample Editor previews the pad's own sample.
• Fixed: the home screen fits an iPhone SE or mini with Display Zoom set to Larger Text.
• Fixed: VoiceOver says which Pad Properties tab is selected.… more - 📦GranSample - Granular Sampler updated to version 1.5.1v1.5.1 — steadier audio.
• Fixed sound cutting out for a moment during playback when pads were routed to a group bus, muted or very quiet.
• Turning effects on and off while playing — master effects included — no longer leaves a short gap in the sound.
• Switching effect presets and editing effect chains during playback is smoother, and a pad no longer goes silent after quick back-to-back effect edits.
• The What's New screen no longer reappears after small updates.… more - 📈GranSample - Granular Sampler dropped out of every chart we trackLast seen 30 Sep
- 🆕GranSample - Granular Sampler first spotted by AppInsider#72 in Top Grossing · Music · Russia
- 📦GranSample - Granular Sampler version 1.4.3v1.4.3 — the plugin stops being the lesser half, and the granular engine finally shows its work.
• LOAD YOUR OWN SAMPLES IN THE PLUGIN — the AUv3 plugin can now pull audio onto a pad from Files, without leaving your host. It stays put when you reopen the project.
• ONE SAMPLE LIBRARY — the app and the plugin finally share their samples. Anything you record or import on one side is there on the other. Existing samples move across on first launch; you don't have to do anything.
• WATCH THE GRAINS — switch a pad to granular and the display fills with the grain cloud: each grain drawn where it's reading from the sample, placed across the stereo field, fading with its own window. Position, size, density and spray all have a picture now.… more - 🆕GranSample - Granular Sampler: its developer released another app: Contour — Ambient Morph Synth

About GranSample - Granular Sampler
A 16-pad sampler with a granular engine underneath. Standalone app + AUv3 plugin for GarageBand / Logic / AUM / Drambo / Loopy Pro. Tap pads, sculpt textures, sequence patterns, chain songs. Same engine either way.
Free to try. One purchase unlocks GranSample Pro — everything listed at the bottom. No subscription, no ads, no telemetry.
NEW IN 1.7
Your Projects in the plugin: open them from the host's preset menu or the plugin's library, save new ones. Free.
Export to Files: a free .gskit copy of any project.
PATTERN BANK & SONG MODE
Eight patterns per project (A–H). Switch live; the change waits for the bar end. Then chain them into a song with repeats per section, looped or played 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. 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.
KIT SHARING
One .gskit file holds a project — samples, settings, effects, patterns, song. Import and Export to Files are free; sharing 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 and engine, the 10 Scenes and your Projects, 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
Scenes + your Projects, shared with the plugin — 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.
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. TRACKS shows every track in one grid; tracks 9–16 need Pro. INT SEQ lets MIDI alone play the pads.
SAMPLE EDITOR
Waveform view — drag the grain region, trim playback range, loop, reverse, normalize per pad. LINEAR or GRAN preview. Trim works in the plugin too.
EFFECTS
Per-pad AND master bus. Reverb, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Filter — up to 8 per chain. Hand-tuned presets; save your own in the app.
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. Background Audio plays on in other apps. 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 wavef
