OhmsGrid is a clip launcher for 8×8 pad grids on Mac and iPad. Launch one clip or a whole scene row with quantized timing, from the screen or a pad controller. Six demo pads are loaded the first time you open it: tap a scene row and a beat is playing before anything downloads. Plug in a pad controller and OhmsGrid maps its pads to the grid and shows each clip's state on the pad lights: loaded, queued, playing or generating. Profiles are included for Novation Launchpad X, Launchpad Mini MK3 and Launchpad Pro MK3, Ableton Push 2 and Push 3, and Akai APC mini mk2 and APC40 mkII, and the side buttons on the Launchpads and Push launch scenes. The profiles have not yet been checked on physical hardware, so lights or buttons may differ on your unit. Other note-based grids can launch clips through a generic 8×8 layout you turn on in MIDI settings, without pad lights. The Inspector shows which controller is connected and mirrors the lights OhmsGrid sends to it. Eight columns are eight instruments (drums, bass, lead, melody, pad, FX, vocal, percussion) and every row is a scene. Record the scenes you play into an arrangement, then edit the length and order of each part. Scene Follow rules let a set move on by itself, the same way every time. Take the grid into your DAW. Loaded clips sync to the included Audio Unit instrument, which plays each pad from a MIDI note inside an AUv3 host such as Logic Pro, GarageBand or AUM, stretched to the host's tempo. Fill an empty pad with something new. OhmsGrid writes a clip in the project's key and tempo, sized for that column's instrument. Autofill works through every empty pad in one pass, shows its progress and can be cancelled at any point. Clip generation runs on your own Mac or iPad after a one-time download you approve: about 10.1 GB for the Mac engine or 6.0 GB for the iPad engine, checked before first use. On Mac it needs macOS 15 or later; on iPad, a model with at least 12 GB of memory. Skip it and the demo project, audio import, mixing, arranging and export all still work. Every column has volume, pan, mute, solo and sidechain ducking. On a Mac you can also point OhmsGrid at your sample folders to tag BPM, key and category, reverse, stretch and pitch-shift clips in the Inspector, and export a WAV mix or one WAV per column to a folder you choose. Optional on Mac: let a local assistant app read the names, tempo, key and layout of up to 50 projects you pick. It never sees audio or files and cannot change anything. Sharing starts off and switches itself off when the app restarts. An assistant you connect may pass what it reads to its own provider. Your projects and audio stay on your device. There is no account, no ads and no analytics. One purchase covers Mac and iPad. Requires macOS 14 or iPadOS 17 on Apple Silicon. ## Key features - 8x8 clip launching for scenes and individual clips - MIDI controller integration with pad light feedback - Clip generation and autofill functionality - Arrangement recording and editing - Per-column volume, pan, mute, and solo controls - AUv3 instrument integration for DAWs - Sample tagging and manipulation on Mac ## Is OhmsGrid safe?

The developer is always adding new updates, highly recommended. **Developer response:** Thank you. The grid comparison is fair — pad-first sequencing with generation sitting behind it rather than in front of it is the shape I was after. The generation runs on your own Mac, so the grid keeps working with the network off. ## Frequently asked questions about OhmsGrid ### What is OhmsGrid used for? OhmsGrid is a clip launcher designed for 8x8 pad grids on Mac and iPad. It allows you to launch musical clips and scenes, record arrangements, and control your music production workflow with MIDI controllers. ### Does OhmsGrid support MIDI controllers? Yes, OhmsGrid offers profiles for popular MIDI controllers like Novation Launchpads and Ableton Push, showing clip status on pad lights. It also supports generic 8x8 grids for clip launching. ### Can OhmsGrid generate new musical clips? Yes, OhmsGrid can generate new clips for empty pads based on your project's key and tempo. This feature requires a one-time download of the generation engine, approximately 10.1 GB for Mac and 6.0 GB for iPad. ### How does OhmsGrid integrate with DAWs? OhmsGrid can be used within DAWs like Logic Pro, GarageBand, or AUM as an Audio Unit instrument. Loaded clips sync to the AUv3 host, allowing you to play each pad from a MIDI note at the DAW's tempo. ### What are the system requirements for OhmsGrid? OhmsGrid requires macOS 14 or iPadOS 17 on Apple Silicon. On Mac, it needs macOS 15 or later, and on iPad, a model with at least 12 GB of memory is recommended for full functionality. ### What is the price of OhmsGrid? OhmsGrid is a paid application, priced at $19.99. This one-time purchase covers usage on both Mac and iPad devices. ### Does OhmsGrid have ads? No, OhmsGrid is ad-free. The application explicitly states that there are no ads, and your projects and audio data remain on your device. ### How often is OhmsGrid updated? The latest version of OhmsGrid is 1.7.0, which was last updated on October 1, 2026. While specific update frequency isn't detailed, this indicates ongoing development and support. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.7.0 — 2026-10-01 OhmsGrid: Clip Launcher is the new App Store name, with a new icon to match. • New Controller panel in the Inspector: see which pad controller is connected, which profile drives it, and a live mirror of the pad and scene lights OhmsGrid sends to it. • The grid header and status bar show local engine state instead of model details. • The model download sheet shows the full license address as text. • Settings no longer lists other apps. ### 1.6.1 — 2026-09-20 Saving a project now waits for confirmation from the file picker. If saving fails, a clear error offers Retry while keeping your current edits open. Cancelling the picker no longer reports success. ### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-29 Audio import is more reliable on a fresh setup. AAC and M4A files now keep their tested decoder path through import, playback, backgrounding, and reopen. OhmsGrid on iPad remains fully on-device: it does not expose the Mac-only Bring Your Own Key lyrics route, and no audio or project content is sent to Silo Systems. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-09 Arrangement export now renders the timeline you actually built. Mix and stem exports follow arranged scene order, exact beat lengths, overlaps, mutes, solos, and the selected output format instead of falling back to raw source order. Progress and cancellation are exact-job scoped, and a cancelled export leaves no final partial file. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-07-13 Runtime status now verifies backend readiness and installed model weights. Autofill queues every empty pad exactly once with progress and cancel controls, and the streamlined studio adds clearer navigation and polished performance feedback. ## More apps by Omar Quddusi - [Ohm Studio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ohm-studio/id6769498585) - [Ohm Split](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ohm-split/id6776494111) - [Silo Transcribe](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/silo-transcribe/id6777604922) - [Silo Apply](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/silo-apply/id6782710325) - [Matadoor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/matadoor/id6784506051) All apps by Omar Quddusi: https://appshunter.io/developer/1896663775 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
