I have multiple hardware grooveboxes (mc707 and tr8s) but are in love with the workflow of GR-16. You can easily make a song in minutes.. The sound quality of the stock instrument/samples is very good and the expansions provide addiotional high quality sounds. Highly recommended.

I tried Groove Rider 16 and it didn’t fit my workflow, cumbersome to change sounds and create user racks… I thought I had the right of withdrawal within 15 days, but apparently they won’t refund me and now I’m stuck with an app that I won’t use…

The genius continues! UPDATE 2: Jim even more genius. Buy the IAP just to give Jim some love for all the time, effort and patience he has put into this app. If you can’t afford $5 considering all the effort that has gone into this app then get out of the kitchen! UPDATE: Jim still genius... Jim is a genius.

A great app for fooling around. Also the presets help to get an idea of the many sounds possible. And I’m sure I’ve just scratched the surface.

App bien sympa à plein de points d'oreille et de vue : son, ergonomie, design & look, customisation, presets. Mais par contre, il manque un élément majeur pour le live : il n'y a pas de réglage du TEMPO global. M'enfin ! Peut-être que le pad X/Y pourrait être commutable/shiftable en Master Tempo ?

Bug fixes: - sample folders with dots in their names were not seen - fixed; - AUv3: "Start with Host" setting was not working/displaying correctly; - AUv3: if you solo one part and then reopen plugin's window, solo will be cancelled - fixed; - Copy/Paste Entire Part now pastes part's name too; - pressing and holding the Part select, Mute, Erase, Trigger etc. buttons from the external midi controller (previously assigned via Midi Learn) was not working correctly: it would release when you touched some pads on the screen at the same time - fixed now; - using with LaunchPad Pro: during playback, "Follow Cursor" function was not working (not updating the current bar) while app was in the background - fixed; Other changes: - you can now use EXIT button during playback to cancel jumping to the next pattern in case you have occasionally selected it; - during pattern playback, if you occasionally touched the SONG mode button, you can now cancel it by tapping the SONG button again. EXIT button will work for this too; - Revert to Saved: you can now use this function during pattern playback, no need to stop the pattern.
