Host AUv3 instruments, audio effects, and MIDI processors, connect external MIDI hardware, route MIDI between tracks, and control projects with customizable MIDI mapping. Additional features include an on-screen keyboard and drum pads, project versions and templates, Ableton Link sync, audio and MIDI export, Ableton Live set export, performance recording, and stem export.

User Reviews

Overall, reviewers praise SAND for fast, easy mobile sequencing, its deep-but-simple interface, and strong AUv3 integration, plus a compact, appealing design. They also value the app’s price and ongoing development. Common downsides are missing advanced features (piano roll, song mode, stems, mixer), occasional stability/timing issues, and a need for clearer documentation.

Pros

Easy-to-use workflow that lets you quickly generate ideas on mobile.
Simple yet deep interface with powerful sequencing capabilities.
Excellent AUv3 integration—plugging AUv3 effects into other apps works seamlessly.
Great on iPhone/small screens; mobile-friendly and visually appealing.
Good value with an active roadmap; many reviewers consider it worth the price and appreciate ongoing updates.

Cons

Missing advanced features like deep piano roll note editing, song mode, stems, and a proper mixer.
Occasional stability issues (crashes) and minor timing glitches reported by some users.
Requests for better documentation and clearer instructions for getting started.

You gotta try this. Audio and MIDI loop based creation with audio stretch, reverse, quantize, and pitch. Clean, easy UI. Excellent all around! Fantastic writing tool as well as finishing and mastering.

The integration with other apps seems off on my end. Has not working. The record does not pick up data on my end and even in a pre-save ideas from 1 app to another. Sands has not crashed, no!!! Just idk what to do to develop my workflow my person is after. We can correspond email and send u data of the problem. Ps if can long press in the the window of sequence track could help or maybe not.
