Thx for developing such a gem . Great to get the party started all the basics for bigger things beautiful sounds easy to use.
Mmmmmmad app
This is everything that iOS music making should be. Super fun, intuitive easy to control , awesome sounding synths. Export to Ableton to finish it off. Love it
Solid app!!
I downloaded Groovebox years ago, along with several other music creation apps. However, up until recently I didn’t use many of them, but now Groovebox is solidly in my top 3 music creation apps, the workflow is simple & easy to use, and the factory sounds are decent, but the app gives you the flexibility to tinker with different settings in order truly make your music sound unique to you. I wish I took the time to use Groovebox sooner!
One of the best apps I have ever used
This is seriously amazing, a high quality and free app that is great for anybody who is interested in creating music, very easy to use and accessible. I do wish there was more free packs available but there are an infinite amount of sounds to be made with the free packs already. 5 stars
Almost perfect
I love Groovebox, it is so easy to use and great for generating new ideas, and sounds amazing. Even more fun with my Novation controllers and other Ampify apps. I have only one request: having the pro upgrade as I do, WHY OH WHY do we not yet have control over MIDI input channels? I use it for live jamming and have a work around so sounds are not triggered by other controllers - I create a dummy instrument channel and mute it when I don’t want to trigger Groovebox - but it’s not ideal. Cheers, Gavin
Great integration with Launchpad
Love the way Groovebox and Blocs Wave integrate so well with Launchpad. Great apps for exploring and creating new ideas for composition. If Launchpad could be controlled via MIDI this would be a truly excellent trifecta. If MIDI isn’t your concern, these 3 apps are great and are well worth buying along with the in-app purchases.

Sections
Hello! I have some difficulty with the sections. Maybe you could tap the instrument you want to put in the section? Idk but right now its kinda hard to put the sections its fine tho 👌
