GranSample vs SonarRoom Audio Analysis Tool

A 16-pad sampler with a granular engine underneath. Standalone app + AUv3 plugin for GarageBand / Logic / AUM / Drambo / Loopy Pro. Tap pads, sculpt textures, sequence patterns, chain songs. Same engine either way. Free to try. One purchase unlocks GranSample Pro — everything listed at the bottom. No subscription, no ads, no telemetry. NEW IN 1.7 Your Projects in the plugin: open them from the host's preset menu or the plugin's library, save new ones. Free. Export to Files: a free .gskit copy of any project. PATTERN BANK & SONG MODE Eight patterns per project (A–H). Switch live; the change waits for the bar end. Then chain them into a song with repeats per section, looped or played once (song mode is Pro). Patterns, song and BPM save with the project. MODULATION MATRIX (PRO) LFO + ADSR envelope on 8 destinations per pad: grain position / size / pitch / density, volume, pan, pitch, playback start. Depth per lane, host-automatable in AUv3. SAMPLE CHOP (PRO) Slice any sample across the pads — equal grid, transient detection, or manual markers you drag. Audition before you commit. KIT SHARING One .gskit file holds a project — samples, settings, effects, patterns, song. Import and Export to Files are free; sharing is Pro. PAD NAMES, COLORS & CHOKE GROUPS Name your pads, pick from 8 colors, set one of 8 choke groups. AUv3 PLUGIN Load "nono.audio: GranSample" under AU Instruments in any AUv3 host. Same grid and engine, the 10 Scenes and your Projects, Sound, Grain and Sequence tabs. 900 host-automatable parameters. Load your own samples without leaving the host. Sequencer locks to host transport; everything persists in the host project. LIBRARY Scenes + your Projects, shared with the plugin — load, tweak, save. GRANULAR ENGINE Eight knobs per pad. Position scans the sample; grain size + density set the texture from pebbles to glass. Pitch + jitter, spray + stereo spread, four window shapes, an ADSR cloud envelope, Freeze for infinite sustain. 128 grains per voice. CHROMATIC MODE Any pad becomes the root; the grid plays chromatically. STEP SEQUENCER Per-pad patterns at 16/32/64 steps, per-step velocity, drag-to-paint, swing. TRACKS shows every track in one grid; tracks 9–16 need Pro. INT SEQ lets MIDI alone play the pads. SAMPLE EDITOR Waveform view — drag the grain region, trim playback range, loop, reverse, normalize per pad. LINEAR or GRAN preview. Trim works in the plugin too. EFFECTS Per-pad AND master bus. Reverb, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Filter — up to 8 per chain. Hand-tuned presets; save your own in the app. IPAD Pads bigger than an MPC; recorder, properties and sequencer get their own column. MIDI USB, Bluetooth (built-in browser), or virtual MIDI. MIDI Learn on every knob standalone, per-pad channel routing. Background Audio plays on in other apps. The plugin routes MIDI in through the host and emits MIDI out for pad taps. RECORDING 60 seconds from the mic straight into a pad with a live waveform. Resample the master onto a pad, free or locked to 1–8 bars (Pro). Master bounces to WAV/M4A (Pro). 10 FACTORY SCENES, 16 SAMPLES Late Night Room, Outer Space, Neon City, Midnight Dub, Crystal Cave, and more — each with bespoke granular settings. FREE TIER Pads 1–8 — drums and melody, enough to finish a track — with the full granular engine, effects, pattern bank, mixer, MIDI in/out. Free pads work in AUv3 too. Kit import and Export to Files (.gskit) are free as well. GRANSAMPLE PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION All 16 pads and tracks unlocked everywhere — standalone AND AUv3 plugin Song mode — chain patterns into an arrangement Modulation matrix — LFO + envelope on 8 destinations per pad Sample chop to pads Resample to pads Kit sharing (.gskit) Per-pad ADSR envelope editor Custom backgrounds — wallpapers or your own photo, with dim and pad-opacity WAV / M4A export Made by one person who wanted a granular beat pad that fit on a phone — and in their DAW.

Your room is changing the way your speakers sound — and you can't see it happening. Bass doubles in one corner and disappears in another. Echoes smear the stereo image. The couch might be in the worst possible spot. SonarRoom makes all of it visible. ONE WALK. COMPLETE PICTURE. Connect your iPhone to your speakers, tap Start, and walk around the room for 3–4 minutes. SonarRoom simultaneously scans your room with AR, plays test tones through your speakers, records the response, and tracks your position — capturing hundreds of measurement points in a single pass. SEE YOUR SOUND IN 3D When you stop, the app builds an interactive 3D acoustic map of your room. Switch between overall quality, bass energy, stereo balance, reverb time, and more. Tap any point to inspect its full acoustic profile. Rotate, zoom, and explore how sound changes from position to position. FIND THE SWEET SPOT SonarRoom evaluates every measured position and ranks the top listening spots — gold, silver, and bronze — scored on frequency balance, stereo imaging, reverb, and bass consistency. Stop guessing where to sit. KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG The app automatically detects standing waves, null zones, flutter echoes, comb filtering, speaker-boundary interference, and stereo asymmetry. Each problem is named, explained in plain English, rated by severity, and shown in 3D — so you understand both what it is and where it is. KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO FIX Every problem comes with prioritized, actionable recommendations: move speakers, add bass traps, apply EQ, reposition your listening spot. Each suggestion includes a predicted improvement percentage so you can focus on what matters most. PROFESSIONAL-GRADE ANALYSIS, NO EXPERTISE REQUIRED SonarRoom uses the same impulse response techniques as professional acoustic measurement systems — adaptive Wiener deconvolution, Schroeder RT60, ISO clarity indices — but presents everything through scores, heatmaps, and plain-language explanations. Temperature and humidity compensation adjusts for how air itself absorbs high-frequency sound, giving you accurate RT60 and reflection data regardless of room conditions. No acoustics degree needed.
