## What is Granula Synth?

Push the boundaries of sound design.

Granula Synth turns granular synthesis into a playground — grab tiny grains of audio, scatter them across the waveform, and shape them into pads, textures, and soundscapes no other synth can make.

What's inside:
- Curated preset library, crafted by sound designers
- Deep grain controls — length, position, direction, pitch, and more
- Powerful modulation matrix with dual LFOs and chaos generators
- Built-in envelope, EQ, and FX chain
- Import your own audio or record directly in the app
- Save, organize, and share your presets
- Export your ideas straight to your DAW

Whether you're scoring film, building ambient textures, or just exploring new sonic territory, Granula Synth gives you granular control over every grain of sound.

### 1/5 — Subscription! LOL You’re pathetic!

*2025-03-21*

But it’s still only subscriptions! You need to improve your reading comprehension. Subscriptions for apps like this is the scourge of the App Store. I have maybe bought three apps in two years because of the likes of this and lack on honesty. :-p —- Says here unlock all all features $14.99. In app, it’s only a 6 month subscription. Hahaha! Not even remotely worth $30/year. Hope you sell little.

**Developer response:** Hi, Eriptron!
Thanks for the more detailed answer. We are very sorry that our application did not suit you, but we are very grateful for checking it out :)
We will take your wishes into account and try to make the application more accessible to all users.
Thanks for your feedback!

Best regards, Castles Trip.

**Developer response:** Hi, Eriptron!

Thank you for your feedback.
The application has free features available for testing. Using the free functionality, you can understand whether it is worth upgrading to the advanced version, which has much more functions for creative preparations.
The application also has different subscription periods - 1, 3, 6 months (all subscriptions have a free trial period for evaluation), and a six-month subscription also has a good discount.

Best regards, Castles Trip.

### 4/5 — Amazing but one issue for me

*2023-01-30*

This is totally awesome to me, the capabilities are insane what a great granular synth and it’s so cool that I can use it on my phone. It compares to a VST like Quanta. The thing that is a huge letdown for me is that I can record sounds in and then record granular loops but I can’t export them out of the app at all to use in my DAW, the only way I could think of doing this is by screen recording on my phone and then converting the file, I cant do this with my microphone recordings through the app however. 

Great potential!

**Developer response:** Hey ColeWide!
Thank you very much for your feedback!
The application has the ability to share audio, we could not release a version without this feature.
I'm sorry you didn't discover it yourself. We will definitely redesign the interface for a better perception.
The button for sharing your content is available in the records window. In order to share the audio, you need to swipe the audio recording cell to the left, after which a submenu will appear in which "share" and "delete" the audio recording is available.
If you still have problems, contact us via email - castles.trip.spprt@gmail.com with a description of your problem.

Best regards, Castles Trip

### 3/5 — Das Konstrukt neidisch los… . . .

*2022-06-21*

**Developer response:** Danke für das Feedback, Animouse21 :)
Wir werden versuchen, in naher Zukunft ein Update mit neuen Funktionen zu veröffentlichen
