"Wait... I have to check something... Ok, cool, I can start this review. So, RandGrid is a Drum Machine, a powerful Drum Machine which comes with some really great ideas. First, you will have to select a kit from the 5 available. A kit contains 16 sounds... Then you will create a Part. A Part is a sixteen step Pattern. You will be able to program its 16 tracks (2 are dedicated to a Synthesizer, the 14 others for the drum's instrument. Note that a randomize button allows you to create a track, just with a single tap (this feature is not a gadget. It works very well for each selected track). You will be able to shape the sound of an entire track or a single event ( Stereo Delay, Distortion, 2 dual oscillators...). The Song mode is really great too, despite that it needs some improvements (check out my note on the last image of this post). You will be able to create a 256 bar song max. A Song comes with 4 tracks. It means that you will be able to create a 64 track Song (4 patterns / bar, a pattern is equal to 16 tracks). To conclude this review, I have to tell you why I asked you to wait 2 minutes ago... I wanted to check the version of RandGrid as well as its release date... So, the version is the 1.2. We can say that RanGrid is a little baby... The last update was December 12th 2012. We can say that its parents didn't give up on it. If I wanted to have this information, it is because I have to conclude this review and to rate this App... So my conclusion: I really love RandGrid, the App is really well done, steady and comes with a lot of great ideas. RandGrid is powerful (almost like an Automation when using the Step edit feature, 16 tracks / Pattern, 64 tracks / Song, a really great random button....) but it lacks at least a sharing feature! Yes, unfortunately, you will not be able to share your project... A great pity! I really like to have the ability to import my own samples (only 5 kits for the 64 available tracks / Song). A pity! The song mode is really great but could be even better... I will rate this App as a Super App, to motivate the developer to keep working on it and I really hope to rate it as a Killer App really soon. (Note that it is not usual that I rate a Drum Machine without sharing feature as a Super App...)"
