Must have tool.

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

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!

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.

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.

You forget it’s an iPad

I’ve had a lot of drum machines and daw, etc. I was making a beat and forgot it was iPad which really drew me to the time when I’ve mad tracks on Electribe, Mocs etc. The one thing I wanted was the ability to change the tempo without taping it in. This is a keeper app and definitely worth the purchase. GET THIS APP.

The Groove is in the Box!

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.....
