Review: Grain Science

Wooji Juice brings us the most elegant granular synth on the iPad yet; as if they set out to prove that granular synthesis can sound pretty too!

It is available now on iTunes: http://goo.gl/Cu4aL (If you use my link I get a cut. Thanks!)

Is the audio on this video in mono? I went over to soundcloud and listened to the demos there, and they are in lovely stereo. The audio here really doesn't do the thing justice.

@periurban Yes. I am in the middle of upgrading my recording rig. My mic has been upgraded to get rid of all the static and noise on all of my early videos, but I need some more money before I can get a new interface to also record the iPad in stereo.

Thanks for this. It seems like you can get a lot of atmospheric pad sounds out of this. So far this seems better for my needs than other Ipad Synths. I am not big into sound design. I just like really good presets so I can start composing right away without getting lost in tweaking sounds. I realise that probably sounds like heresy as these synths were designed to be tweaked to death but I have my hands full writing, arranging and recording songs and I dont have the time to create my own sounds.

@Stevethesearcher That is an understandable disposition, I'm sure there are many people who feel the same. The presets are fairly good, above average for iOS synths.

Thanks for the informative review. Grain Science looks like a better synth for a beginner than something like Korg's iMS-20. The sound is wonderful and the extent you can re-shape sound is amazing. I've been enjoying all your videos, hope you keep them coming.
