LH Grain Pad dual-channel granular synthesizer interface
LH Grain Pad

LH Grain Pad brings the dual-channel granular synthesis workflow of LH Grain to iPad. Each channel operates independently for generating and controlling granular textures, making the app suitable for both live performance and studio work.

Granular Sound Design

Eight grain amplitude envelopes and built-in samples provide a wide range of wave shapes for creating distinctive granular textures. Sample Location Control, Grain Waveform Selector, Frequency Jitter, and touchpad-based Grain Duration & Density Control provide detailed control over the sound.

Live Performance and Studio Work

The touchpad visualizes the grains and provides direct control during performance. A customizable Pitch Bar supports real-time pitch changes, while OSC Format Message Receive & Send connects LH Grain Pad with other devices in real time.

The built-in Audio Recorder lets you record what you are producing and share your pieces with other devices.
