tardigrain

Time for a new review. First, Tardigrain has been around a lot longer than the 5-year App History implies. :-) What? Some 15-18 years? I found Tardigrain now long after it first was released. Way before Alligoopa’s demise. My first Allihoopa offering was from Tardigrain. Several Japanese members were excited that not only did I know of the tiny beast AND I made a song to them. lol I have always had Tardigrain on my mobile device! There still isn’t anything quite like it on the App Store. It’s other worldly and under worldly! It’s simple but affective. Keep thinking out of the box! (And very stable standalone playing in the background with other apps while I read on iOs.)

made a cool track with this, I was looking for something strange capable of making strange sound this was it, I sampled a bass note from a piano and it sounded so dark and ambient, this app is interesting and can make something simple sound unique, good for drones, love the look, love the parameter changes possible, high sound quality

Tardigrain has been a home run from the get go. The synth engine makes it incredibly easy to get a wide range of sustained sounds out of virtually any sound material. The UI is also brilliant: beautiful, uncluttered, powerful. The touch keyboard + chords layout is just wonderful - I honestly wish I could use it with other iOS synths. The issue this update fixes - touch response problems with the edges, often making the controls finicky - was an annoyance that I really didn’t mind putting up with given how amazing this app is. Until this fix, I had no idea just how much better this would make the app feel. This is an unexpectedly awesome quality of life improvement to an already awesome app. Kudos for figuring out how to make a second home run out of tardigrain.
