About

Grumpy Grid

Features
Read full description

Tap. Bounce. Compose. Grumpy Grid is a musical playground where bouncing balls play your tunes. Place a colored ball anywhere on the canvas and it falls into a steady, perfect bounce on a row of musical pads below โ€” playing a note every time it lands. Drop a few more, and a rhythm builds itself. No tutorials, no learning curve. The eight pads are tuned so anything you place sounds harmonic together. Drop balls higher for slower, sparser rhythms; lower for faster, busier ones. Stagger your taps to layer notes a fraction of a beat apart and you've got a loop. Made for play and for sketching: โ€ข Eight glowing color pads, each tuned to its own pitch โ€ข Snap to quarter, eighth, sixteenth, or eighth-triplet rails for tight grooves โ€ข Save and rename your sessions โ€” every ball's bounce timing comes back exactly as you left it โ€ข Eraser for surgical edits; Clear wipes the canvas; Pause actually pauses time โ€ข Universal: iPhone in landscape, iPad in any orientation No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Nothing leaves your device. Tap, bounce, compose.
