What's new

What changed in each GranSample release, newest first.

Verified for version 1.5.1 · Updated October 15, 2026

1.5.1

Steadier audio.

  • Fixed sound cutting out for a moment during playback when pads were routed to a group bus, muted or very quiet.
  • Turning effects on and off while playing — master effects included — no longer leaves a short gap in the sound.
  • Switching effect presets and editing effect chains during playback is smoother, and a pad no longer goes silent after quick back-to-back effect edits.
  • The What's New screen no longer reappears after small updates.

1.5

Groove you can feel, hi-hats that behave, and a way to turn your beat back into raw material.

Swing

Drag SWING next to the pattern strip and every second 16th slides late — from dead straight at 50% to a heavy shuffle at 75%. Downbeats stay on the grid. Double-tap to go straight again. In the plugin it swings in time with your host.

Choke Groups

Put your open and closed hats in the same group and each hit cuts the other off, the way a real kit does. Pick Off or 1–8 in Pad Properties. It works from the sequencer, MIDI and your fingers, and saves with the project.

Resample Your Beat

Tap RESAMPLE on the recorder and record GranSample's own output back onto a pad. With the sequencer playing it waits for the next bar and captures exactly 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars as a seamless loop — ready to chop, pitch or turn granular. Part of GranSample Pro.

The Resample sheet: a one-bar loop waveform, a grid of pads to assign it to, and Discard, Retake and Use buttons.
A one-bar resample, about to replace the Piano on pad 6.

A Bigger, Sharper Display

On iPhone the recorder display is now more than twice as tall, and the waveform is drawn from scratch: every hit shows its real attack and body, quiet parts stay visible, and clipping is marked in red. The pad panel below is slimmer, and switching the sequencer between 16, 32 and 64 steps no longer shifts the screen.

A Rebuilt Plugin Editor

The AUv3 plugin now has Sound, Grain and Sequence tabs. The full granular controls and LFO / envelope modulation (Pro) sit right inside your host, patterns run 16, 32 or 64 steps, and you can type exact values. It follows the app's look and scales for iPad and Mac.
