No way to reset to init

I’ve been messing with this for a couple of hours and have not found any way to, you know, do the thing that every other synth in the universe lets you do: start over. I got my sound into a weird state that doesn’t work well, so I thought I’d restart. Nope, no way, only thing you can do is load a preset and then load your sample. Maybe there’s a way, but the nonexistent manual doesn’t tell me. Lfos are only triangle or random, no square, saw, sine, never seen such a limitation before. They are all bipolar which makes them useless for many functions. No sample normalization, which is really weird in a sample based instrument, so I had to buy a sample editor. Very very simple app and not worth more than $2

Update: iOS currently has a bug which won’t let me delete this review. I was unfair and have changed my rating. I do wish it had more features, but after using more apps I see that this is normal on iOS.

Best granular synth on iOS

Hands down then best granular synth on iOS. Easy to use and always sounds good.

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!?!

Simply brilliant

There’s a fair few granular synths/players on iOS now. This is one my favourite

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.)

Look no further

This is a fantastic and intuitive creative tool. Musical, fun and deep potential for soundscapes to explore. 5 stars doesn't do it justice, dive in and enjoy ❤️

Needs a tweak

Lots to like here, and some fabulous sounds can be imagineered. The only Robles is that it is flaky as hell when it comes to retaining AU3 settings. Which rather defeats the purpose of AU3. Fix this, and its an easy 5 star app.

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

One of the best apps I’ve ever used

Astonishingly good app with an impressive update history. I’ve been looking for an app in which I could make music this way. I’m so glad to have found this!
