What's New in GranSample

1.4.1

August 4, 2026

v1.4.1 — bug fixes, thanks to a reader who wrote in. • LOADING YOUR OWN SAMPLES — picking your own audio could quietly do nothing at all. Worst of all from the GranSample folder in Files, which is exactly where we tell you to put samples. Fixed, and a failed import now tells you why instead of just sitting there. • YOUR SAMPLES STAY PUT — an imported sample could disappear from its pad after you closed and reopened the project. It's now copied into the app, so it comes back every time. • SHARE AUDIO STRAIGHT IN — send a WAV, AIFF or MP3 from any app and pick GranSample from the share sheet; it lands on a pad. We never appeared in that list before. • AUv3 PLUGIN WINDOW — some hosts ask a plugin which window sizes it can handle, and GranSample answered "none" — so those hosts showed a plain parameter list instead of the real interface. It answers properly now. • iCloud samples that haven't downloaded yet now say so, instead of failing silently.

Response from developer

Sorry for the trouble — you were right about both, and both are fixed in 1.4.1 (has already been sent to App store). Loading your own samples was broken and failed silently, worst of all from the GranSample folder in Files. The plugin window was separate: some hosts ask which window sizes a plugin supports and GranSample answered "none" — AUM never asks, which is why it was your one working setup. Email me at zhiii0x@gmail.com and I'll put you on TestFlight before it ships if you want. Thanks for the note at the end. It landed.

I want to love this

I get only 2 screens.. 16 pads with 6 cut in half, and a mixer. No record, nothing.. I have tried maximizing, nothing seems to give me access. I paid for a pro version.. still nothing. I’m using an iPad m5 13 2tb
Update: The developer contacted me, and was very understanding.. That is rare on here! I will definitely give it another shot!

Response from developer

Hi Rick, You're right — I didn't specifically design the app for iPad at first, so the UI ends up limited like that. The next version has major updates and should be live in the next 2-3 days once Apple approves it. Hope you give it another try then!
