Features & Capabilities

SAND is a powerful grid-based sequencer designed to create music using AUv3 plugins and external MIDI devices. It does not generate sound on its own; it relies on plugins you install from the App Store to shape your sound. The app centers on a grid-driven workflow with intuitive clip editing, track templates, automation, and a built-in master track for global effects.

From grid sequencing and chord creation to MIDI routing, plugin hosting, Ableton Link sync, and flexible import/export options, SAND provides a complete production and performance workflow. Use on-screen keyboards, song sections, and scalable routing to capture ideas, collaborate, and export MIDI, audio, or Ableton Sets for easy DAW integration.

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.

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.
