GranSample is a 4x4 touch-grid sampler that allows users to toggle between linear sample playback and a granular synthesis engine on a per-pad basis. It is designed for sound designers and musicians to manipulate field recordings, vocals, and beats into textures using granular parameters like grain size, density, and pitch jitter. The app emphasizes a high-performance, lock-free rendering path for real-time audio manipulation.
