Wooji Juice have said that version 1.2 of Grain Science - their powerful synthesizer for the iPad - has now been submitted to the App Store for approval.
The update will include a new Chorus effect, PWM mode, and multi-octave arpeggio.
It will also include many improvements to the user interface including audio crop snaps to zero crossings, swipe to delete unwanted audio, and an improved BPM dial.
I own this synth, and it's one of the most inspiring synths I've got.
The presets are great, but the true beauty of this synth is when you start exploring the mangling features, and tweak the sounds.
And, it sounds fantastic.
Can't wait for the update.

v 1.2 is out now!
In this version:
• New: Chorus FX unit
• New: Pulse Width Modulation blend mode
• New: Wave list shows a count of how many instruments use each wave
• New: More musician-friendly BPM system, goes up to 180bpm with 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 options (old system can still be selected)
• New: Multiple-octave chord arpeggiation
• New: Swipe to delete unwanted audio from wave & audio import lists
• New: "Reed" built-in wave
• New: 6 additional built-in instruments
• New: Tube Resonance Bass can be programmed. Note: It can bite! Slow, gentle programs are recommended, unless you want artefacts!
• New: UI improvement — swap FX units by dragging them around by their names
• New: Setting to choose whether recording is hold-to-record or tap-to-start/tap-to-stop
• New: Mini VU meter on recording button during recording (or, in hold-to-record mode, tap to toggle on/off)

• Improved: Easier to see when a cropping selection is about to begin
• Improved: Avoids "popping" while installing/uninstalling FX units
• Improved: Slightly more useful naming for newly-created instruments
• Fix: Crash bug when mapping certain kinds of parameter in otherwise-unmodified instruments

Arpeggio units timing still very unstable, c'mon guys this is really bad, reflects negatively on an otherwise very promising synth.
Fix it. What's the point of having it there if it sounds like crap.
