Pricing and Availability
GridInstrument is available now for US $2.99.
Just purchased and tried this and have to say it works pretty damn well. Most of the (scale mode) functionality of the LaunchPad Pro for a hundredth of the price. If the developer can incorporate the different overlap modes of the LaunchPad Pro (where you choose the amount of overlapping notes per row) this will be a MUST-HAVE, PERFECT APP. As it stands now, still highly recommended. Awesome job.
For just $2.99, some tasty new awesome sauce for my older iPhones.
going to pick up a LP mini with this app :))
Seems really straightforward and easy to use, looks very cool. Now, if it could play chords, instead of just single notes at the touch of a button, it would be an instabuy for me!
There are already several apps that do that. That isn’t what this is about. Its function is playing scales.
just download one of those finger pattern guides for chords on launchpad / MPC etc.
