Almost perfect, but one frustrating issue.

I love practically everything about this app, but I have one issue with it. I wish there was an (on/off) option for patterns to switch when the currently playing sequence ends instead of when switching exactly when you press the next pattern button. It sounds too abrupt and the timing is difficult to make the transition sound seamless. In other words, I want it to work like the sequence snap feature in Koala Sampler. Groovebox would be my main music app if they added this feature. I’ve deleted the app because of this issue and will happily download again when they include this feature.

Inspiring app, one crucial addition

Really inspiring app to generate ideas and progressions quickly sounds amazing, only thing is frustrating is the record function there should be an automatic record brace instead of having to manually set two or 4 8 or 16 bars. Also, no metronome count in is weird not to have - simple fixes, but serious quality of life to make this app even better

Great value

Haven’t gotten into the purchasable stuff yet, but the FREE synthetic bass and synth that they offer has an unbelievable range and variety that a lot of other apps don’t offer. Great for beginners looking to make electronic music without dropping a lot of money on an app or synth.

One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE APPS in 2024

I love everything about Groovebox. Sometimes you just want a simple foundation or you’re just playing around and you can EASILY create something memorable and unique! I have so many sounds and continue to get packs because they’re all just fantastic NOW ONE THING I would LOVE is an easier way to export the MIDI than opening an Ableton project to then create the MIDI file. That’s probably the only request I have. I’ve been doing a lot more iPad production til I can get a new laptop so I’d LOVE to have MIDI readily available if possible 🙃🙃🙃🙃 Otherwise, I’ll still continue using this incredible app! I wiiiiiish that there was an easier way for midi since Im using my iPad

Best drum & bass machine I’ve played.

No ads, great sounds, and an impressive set of recording tools at your fingertips.

I make it my background music

This app is awesome! The thing that I love about the most is that I can play other games and the music plays in the background it’s so cool!
