супер вещь

Очень удобный, интуитивно понятный и вдохновляющий инструмент. 10 из 10

10 Sterne Wert

Was für eine durchdachte Musik App dass eher einem Instrument. Gleichkommt. Für Musik Enthusiasten und Gelegenheit Klimperer gleichermaßen interessant.
Das schnelle Einfügen über AudioShare macht das Spielen auf Tardigrain Grenzenlos.

Update broke it.

I can’t no longer import wave files to this or Elsa. 😕

FormatAudio.wavOnlychargesample?

If before it was allowed to upload files. Mp3, why doesn't he do it anymore? I work with .mp3 files, because they weigh less than .wav files. Have you already joined some commercial pact, to be able to give preponderance to the .wav files? Developers sold. Like doctors, who invent the disease, to be able to sell medical products, to brands.

Volume level problems iPhone 12 Pro

I can’t really honestly rate this yet because I can barely hear it! At volume settings other synths are quite loud at, loaded side-by-side…and with this app’s gain all the way up…still barely audible. Also, some bundled patches go into a permanently flickering state that seems like another bug.

Timeless classic

Still one of the most inspiring, intuitive, and beautiful apps for ambient music.

Simply the best granular on the apps store.

And I tried many of them. Tardigrain won out because it is so intuitive to use and implement in AUM, and it has real-time processing.

This is a beast!

Such great work. This app is absolutely a must have.

No manual

No manual. Can’t load my own samples. I want my money back.

Casi casi

Tiene muy buena pinta. La pena es que no se puedan cargar archivos propios y solo deja tratar sonidos precargados por el dev. Le doy 4 estrellas de momento.

No way to reset to init

I’ve been messing with this for a couple of hours and have not found any way to, you know, do the thing that every other synth in the universe lets you do: start over. I got my sound into a weird state that doesn’t work well, so I thought I’d restart. Nope, no way, only thing you can do is load a preset and then load your sample. Maybe there’s a way, but the nonexistent manual doesn’t tell me. Lfos are only triangle or random, no square, saw, sine, never seen such a limitation before. They are all bipolar which makes them useless for many functions. No sample normalization, which is really weird in a sample based instrument, so I had to buy a sample editor. Very very simple app and not worth more than $2

Update: iOS currently has a bug which won’t let me delete this review. I was unfair and have changed my rating. I do wish it had more features, but after using more apps I see that this is normal on iOS.

Best granular synth on iOS

Hands down then best granular synth on iOS. Easy to use and always sounds good.

Please make a legacy app

Please mage a legacy app like you did with rymdigare. All of my AUM projects are lost cause current version cant load auv3 state saved in previous versions of the app

Possibilités géniales mais…

Je viens juste de démarrer et essaie de l’utiliser dans GarageBand
En combinaison avec l’écran de tardigrain pour les effets et un Arturia minilab mkII pour le signal midi
Ça marche au début tant que je suis dans l’instrument mais dès que j’essaie d’en changer et d’y revenir ,visiblement le signal midi passe encore mais l’ A U ne le transforme plus en son…
J’ai essayé les paramètres midi mais dans GarageBand je ne retrouve pas les mêmes paramètres de l’app en standalone…

C’est quand même une app excellente et pleine de promesses j’essaie d’en tirer toute les possibilités, d’où la frustration…
Un coup de pouce et je rajoute les étoiles manquantes dans la seconde
Merci

Unique granular synth

I love this developer!?! Always great innovative, unique, original style and flavor to all his apps. They are all so phenomenal and aesthetically appealing. No labels or bunch of text so it makes it easy to just explore and play around. Great for happy accidents!?! Keep up the great work!?!

Legendary Developer

This dev Eric is the real deal. We appreciate every single project offered by him and they are consistently used in our studio of high end gear. Eric’s instruments may not have every single modern bell and whistle but they are intuitive and translate well to Elektron samplers or any hardware sampler.
- The use cases are seemingly infinite.
- The code is memory efficient and runs smoothly.
- They play nicely with your workflow.
- Farmable sounds, effects, experimentation..
I hope this developer get into making hardware because he would literally be the next Soma.

Not working with Logic Pro 11

At the time of purchase, 06/30/24, Tardigrain is not recognized by Logic Pro 11 and is failing the plugin validation. So, a broken paid plugin for me.

Wow!

Very useful, intuitive and great sounding grain synth. A small feature suggestion for future updates: would be awesome to be able to snap pitch spread to a scale like major, minor, pentatonic, phrygian etc or define pitch spread snap notes manually.

Simply brilliant

There’s a fair few granular synths/players on iOS now. This is one my favourite
