Love it, but...

Phillip Lanos on

Great app, dope sounds especially for drums. Standalone is fine. I use it as a VST in GarageBand and unfortunately it records all midi notes to pitch instead of auto routing. Would love for that to be an update. It would make this the PERFECT! Plugin.

How do I change tempo?

Theadman95 on

Hi everybody, late to the party here. I'm enjoying the app, but I can't figure out how to change tempo. Under pattern, most of the parameters (Length, Rhythm Base, Swing, etc) open up drop-down menus when you hold them. When I hold the Tempo parameter, nothing happens, no drop-down. It just sits there. Is the tempo parameter supposed to open a drop-down? I can't see any other way to change the tempo. Am I missing something, or do I have a bad copy of the app or something? Thanks!

Must have tool.

figet speener on

One of the best music making apps out there. Only issue I’m having is I need the ability to use multiple midi controllers at once. Please implement this.

A full fledged groove box at a steal of a price

Mfluxxx on

What a great tool for fleshing out ideas on the go. On the surface it may not seem sonically deep but once you understand all the options you can achieve some very usable sounds. While there is quite a bit of menu diving involved for all the various parts of the sequencer and menu it all makes sense to allow you to have a mostly 1 screen app. You could go spend 10x or more on a hardware groovebox and not really have as much freedom to arrange and tweak sounds the way you do on GR-16.

Close to perfect but needs a few things!

parkourmasta on

This app is so close to being the perfect groove box but needs a few things! First 6 note polyphony! Next we need templates! I don’t like having to change the drums every single time I load up a new track it really slows down the workflow and creativity sometimes! Last thing would be truly unquantized notes! Sometimes when I play it cuts off some notes which made me realize they aren’t truly unquantized! Other than that it’s great.

Greatest iOS music production app ever.

DavidDepape on

Awesome regular updates. Synth patch randomizer like in Poison would be nice, or maybe I missed the setting. No brainer purchase, like having an electribe at 1/20th the price.

The Groove is in the Box!

Vitamin Beats on

GR-16 is so ahead of its time, It’ s gonna take me a minute to get through all the goodies inside of this groove box app. It’s definitely a must have. my whole new approach to writing all around music, evolves around the GR-16. In all honesty there are a few things I would love to have had, but those would put it in a higher price bracket. I won’t get into each feature, you have YouTube for that. all I can say! this is an app you need! And yes, I am a real user and I’m not endorsed! Great job! Jim Audio.....

Awesome once you learn how to use it

Deep Fried Panda on

I was a bit lost by this app at first, but once I understood how to use it I was in love. Seems a bit bewildering at first, but is actually very easy and fun once you understand how to use it. The app could use a built in tutorial, but I found that the walkthrough by Electronisounds on YT really helped me understand this great app.

This is the one

e-rice1031 on

I love this app. The dev is legendary. I just purchased a Launchpad Pro mk3 thanks to you Dimitri. Can we link up somehow? I’d love for you to hear what I’m making with your amazing app.
