The fact that in SoundGrid each instrument needs to have its own scale chosen independently is pretty much an annoyance that breaks the app for me :/ ### 3/5 — The button for patterns is not working *2021-08-11* Not sure if the button for patterns is working. Like I click it and nothing happens. So I am stuck being able to only play the first pattern and it will not continue playing onto the 2nd one. ### 4/5 — Хорошо *2021-04-06* Неплохо Но... Здесь Не Работает, Режим Song Mode и песня целиком не проигрывается в режиме редактирования, только фрагментами, но все равно здорово, пока здесь других бесплатных вариантов не встретил. ### 2/5 — As with the LIVE version... *2016-04-20* ...needs Audiobus. Why developers don't start designing their apps with a priority list. 1: Add Audiobus support. 2: Make some audio. 3: Make sure you've not forgotten to add Audiobus support. 4: Sell it. 5: ADD AUDIOBUS. Can you see the "Link"...See what I did there? ### 2/5 — SOUNDGRID *2015-01-12* c'est pas bien ne fonctionne plus franchement on paye et vous ne faite rient c'est pas normal çà allez une MAJ pour bien faire marcher cette application . ### 2/5 — freezes *2014-12-08* I really want to give this a higher rating, but I can't even make a new grid or download a grid made by other users without the app freezing. ### 4/5 — Fun and overlooked *2014-08-29* I have owned most of the matrix sequencers in this class including the expensive ones. There were honestly just too many to try them all and I had to draw the line somewhere. I wish I had picked this one up a couple of years back. I bet I would have had fun with it. It does not seem to have some of the modern features I would consider necessary for my workflow but it you are on a budget and want to try one of these grid style pattern sequencers, this one has some useful capabilities. With a bit of love from the developer this could be a nice alternative to the rather expensive apps that it is similar to. Seeing as how it hasn't had an update since 2011 I am not sure we will see that. ### 2/5 — Static *2012-07-30* This app is very basic. It is inexpensive, but the samples sound quite bad. There is horrible static on the samples when using headphones. There are not many samples to work with and the sounds get old quick. I would advise saving your money and getting a better app that has more possibilities. I may end up deleting this, because of the sound quality. ### 3/5 — Good *2011-06-26* I like it, it's easy to use and a great way to get ideas down quickly, but I think it needs to be better in order for it to be useful musically. I find that some of the instruments are distorting - which is frustrating. If it had a better sound quality, more in-built voices and the ability to Pan each track it would be great. ### 5/5 — Toll zum Tüfteln *2011-05-30* Sehr schönes Tool, um Melodien und Baselines festzuhalten. Mit den kostenlos nachladbaren Instrumenten lässt sich doch einiges anstellen. Wer für A State of Trance komponieren will, wird etwas mehr brauchen (ich empfehle NanoStudio), aber für 79 Cent gibt's meines Wissens nichts besseres. Der Support stimmt übrigens auch. ### 5/5 — DAMN *2011-05-29* GREAT APP! I can make much cool music with it. ONLY FLAW IS THE CRASHING ON IPOD 4g ### 2/5 — Wonderfully Simplistic and Complex *2011-04-25, version 3.40* If that made any sence at all to you, get this app! I had never tried making music before, but I am on the road to being the next Mozart because of this app. Only one concern; 8 boxes is a bit short. Perhaps 16 or 24 boxes for more complete songs... EDIT: Umm, your scales are wrong. Lines 10 and 11 on most of the instruments are switched. This is quite disabling and rather disappointing. Please fix this quickly. ### 4/5 — Completa *2011-04-09, version 3.30* Al principio es un poco complicado el hacerse con el control de la app ya q es algo confusa pero una vez lo logras da buenos resultados. Puedes bajar gratis instrumentos adicionales, grabar, compartir. Recomendable ### 4/5 — Elegant and expressive *2011-04-09, version 3.30* I immediately made music I loved with this app, and wished I could make a longer piece...maybe I'm missing something but 8 pattern seems like a limitation. ### 5/5 — The *2011-04-08* It's also a bit simpler, as he said, because of the views. I actually really like it. You can upload your own instruments, theoretically, but the ones that are here are pretty good too [especially the downloadable ones: there's a steinway in there, and a waldorf synth that's very nice]. Friendly w/live gigs and just a very nice package. I bought this after paying $1 for Melodica, was worried I'd regret this but after I saw all the options and setup [on the iPad, anyways] I think it was a bit of a steal. Hopeful the dev will keep updating, and maybe this review will give him[/get him via other purchases!] money to make the decision easier. :P. CoreMIDI would be kind of nice but the tempo option makes it less necessary ... Also, not being $40 like the Aurora Studio thing is ... very nice. No way I'm paying $40 for an app, at least not yet, even with all those features. ### 5/5 — great app *2011-03-30, version 3.30* as step sequencers go it's one of the best and i keep coming back to it because it's got a great ui and live gig friendly. wish it had midi support... but you can't always get what you want. ### 4/5 — Great App *2011-03-21, version 3.30* Great app, only one complaint... Currently, you can onIy trigger one point on the grid at a time. It really needs simultaneous touch triggering methods for better live performance and efficiency. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Completely baffling! *2020-07-16* No tutorial, so you just look at a blank grid with no clue how to add anything, not that there seems much to add anyway. I’m sure I could search for help on the internet, but why bother? Gave up and deleted after twenty minutes. ### 1/5 — Not happy at all *2015-03-12* App doesn't work on iPhone 6 plus. Constantly crashes and freezes. Fix it or refund my money! ### 1/5 — I like it but... *2010-08-26* I wish you could set an instrument to play in a chromatic scale... this default penatonic crap is irritatingly limiting (and it's also why randomizing notes sounds decent - you can basically make a melody out of any random notes in a penatonic scale). Developers, please add a chromatic option to the scale list, or direct me to if I've missed it. When you do, I'll change my review. ### 1/5 — Actually a downgrade *2010-05-02* Although initially it looked as if this version was an improvement - especially to the interface, it's far from intuitive and won't play back sound from new grids in any mode. ### 1/5 — 失敗した *2010-03-23* 使える音色がない。発音のタイミングが怪しい。アプリ全体もっさりとした動作で作曲に集中出来なかったです。tonepadにハマった勢いで、もう少し多機能の物がほしくなり買いましたが失敗でした。今後のバージョンUPに希望を託します。 ### 1/5 — Lots of potential, but *2010-02-22, version 0* On my phone, it's very difficult to add or remove the notes. Too frustrating to be useful. ### 1/5 — crashed my ipod! *2009-07-08* Avoid! Immediately crashed my ipod touch which went into recovery mode. I was unable to restore it, and am now without an ipod while it gets sent off to be fixed or (more likely) replaced (luckily, still under warranty. ### 1/5 — Sehr arm! *2009-06-20* Die dritte App dieser Art, nur in anderem Gewand. Wo bleiben Tenori On Funktionen, wie Arpeggiator, etc? So ist es einfach nur faul! ### 1/5 — Not all Its cracked up to be *2009-06-15* Still needs some latency work, it keeps crashing when I try to program more complex beats, also for some reason when I try to change sounds it's changes the sound for every layer! Hopefully it'll be improved in version 1.1. ### 2/5 — リズムずれがかなりある *2019-12-02* レイヤーにのった音のタイミングをピッタリ重ねているにもかかわらず、拍がズレる。 レビューを見る限りは昔は有料で、今は無料になったみたいだがそもそもタイミングがずれるシーケンサーでは使う気になれない。 見た目はカッコ良いだけに残念。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Having a lot of fun with this. *2021-05-20* A well-designed musical tool that is more complex than it appears at first glance. For instance, the ability to set loop ranges for each pattern means being able to play a 7 note sequence on top of 12 if so desired. There is a nice selection of instruments available, but of course I want more. (Note to developer: how does one access the web interface mentioned in the description, in order to create instruments?) Another example: adjustable feedback and timing of the delay effect, either in milliseconds or in multiples of a 32nd note ... and fractional multiples if you want. 😎 Very glad to have found this gem. ### 5/5 — Fascinante y gratuita *2020-06-09, version 3.50* Absolutamente interactiva, colaborativa, viva en suma, un descubrimiento inesperado ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍 *2020-05-25* ☝️😈 ### 5/5 — It’s back! *2019-06-18* It is back. Reposting my 5 star rating. I made some awesome and surprising tracks with this back in the day. Doing it again right now. I was amazed to see it available again. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Quality choice *2015-07-23, version 3.45* As simply as it is this app have a great choice of sounds inside. Perfect for an ACTUALISATION and don't less to the past. Please it merited ### 5/5 — Worth the price *2014-08-31* Nice , well done , having fun with this , thanks for the good work, 5 stars ### 5/5 — Absolutely superb *2012-07-17* This is the most intuitive electronic music app I've come across in the App Store, and it delivers plenty of bang for your buck. The import/export options make are a huge plus, and it's layout actually lends itself surprisingly well to live performances. There are quite a few of instruments, as well as the option to create your own, but I really, really, hope the developers add more. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2011-12-26* What an amazing piece of software for the iPhone! The features and function of this app can usually be expected in dedicated sequencer hardware. Anyone with or without a musical ear will love spending lots of time on this app. ### 5/5 — Уникальная прога *2011-09-19* Супер! ### 5/5 — Очень прикольная программа :) *2011-06-21* Простое и удобное управление,возможность бесплатно загружать дополнительные инструменты. Есть встроеные эффекты - adsr, delay и фильтр. Возможно создать 8 дорожек. С программой можно играться часами. Доставляет, как сейчас принято говорить :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
