What's New in GranSample

1.4.0

July 29, 2026

v1.4.0 • PATTERN BANK (A–H) — 8 patterns per project, always ready. Tap to switch while playing — the switch politely waits for the bar end; tap again to cancel. DUP clones the current pattern to the next empty slot. • SONG MODE (PRO) — chain your patterns into a real song: tap letters to build, tap an entry to set repeats or remove it, drag sideways to reorder. Loop it, or play it once and stop. • PATTERNS NOW SAVE — they used to reset on reload (sorry!). Fixed for good — patterns, song, and BPM now stick with every project. • CUSTOM BACKGROUNDS (PRO) — wallpapers or your own photo, dim to taste, fade the pads so it shows through. Settings → Appearance.

User reviews

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!
