New: Randgrid


Thanks to Leslie for the find! I downloaded this while i was still in bed this morning. It’s basically two simple bassline synths and a drumcomputer (2x 303 + a 909 -ish) in one App, dubbed the “mobile techno studio”.

It’s great fun! You can alter the pitch of each sound per step and modulate up to 8 parameters per step (so that covers all of them in the moment). It’s kinda like the machinedrum there.
Well quick copy and paste what the developers wrote here:

  • 2x monosynth
  • dual oscillator
  • saw/sqare wave
  • detune
  • slide speed
  • 24 db lowpassfilter
  • cutoff
  • resonance
  • env mod
  • decay
  • delay send
  • pan
  • volume
  • note trig
  • accent trig
  • slide trig
  • dist send
  • 14x drumparts
  • sample start
  • sample stop
  • 4 bit flam
  • delay send
  • pan
  • volume
  • note trig
  • accent trig
  • dist send
  • 1x step sequencer
  • 8 parameter locks per step
  • note value
  • note trig
  • accent trig
  • slide trig
  • 1x stereo delay
  • 1x distortion

Although I couldn’t find all of those points yet .. where are the second Oscillators hidden? [Edit:] Found them. Reading the manual sometimes actually helps.
We see a early and unfinished shot of that App in the moment (Version 0.9b). It has lot’s of potential tho.

I’m missing features like:

  • more patterns
  • more drum samples, I’m just not into 909 sounds in the moment
  • a mute & performance page or something like that
  • longer patterns, or chain functionality
  • more complex synthesis

Here’s my blurry webcam video:

It’s 5.49 Euros in the App Store.

[Edit:] from our comments:

I am the developer of Randgrid.

We will be ready to submit a new version to Apple for approval in a couple of days.

This version will include:

- Song sequencer (arrange your patterns into a song)
- File manager (load save your songs)
- More drumkits (including stereo samples)
- Lots if minor changes and buggfixes

Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions or feature request.

[Edit 3:] There is now a song sequencer on board, and it’s a very cool one too! Plus the file manager and mute and solo switches.

Thanks for the vid (and your site). Just a question: can you save your work in any way?

Thanks Patrik!

In the moment only the last thing you did is saved, so when you leave the App and open it it starts playing that last pattern immediately.

I talked to the developers: there will be a way to manage patterns build songs etc.
They said this is a preview version on a cheaper price than the final version in order to get users feedback. So I suggest when ever you miss something you think should be in there, write them an email!
