Fun app. Nice to get the samples you need without IAP’S.

This is a fantastic groove box that is easy to use and offers a very complete set of features. Highly recommended. Great developer with frequent updates.

This app is utterly fabulous, and this developer is amazingly responsive. Feature after feature has been added every week. Groove Rider 16 is a groove box. And it is so feature rich, well designed, and just plain fun to use that I can’t put it down. All my iOS DAWs seem like work rather than play. This is mainly designed around 4-bar patterns, so take the reviews saying this is a full fledged music production system, the best DAW ever, etc. Sure, you can make songs by chaining patterns together, and can export patterns into DAWs, but it’s main attraction for me is as a quick and fun jammin’ idea powerhouse. That said, it has HUGE power under the hood. A good library of samples included, the ability to import your own, and a surprisingly good synth, that is super-basic, but able to dial in great sounds in a fraction of the time I spend messing around with full synth apps. Did I say synth ... I mean up to 16 of them if you want. At the very least, consider this an introduction into the best features of high-end hardware groove boxes at a tiny fraction of the cost. If it doesn’t gel with you ... then you just saved yourself hundreds of dollars on hardware, cause you won’t like it either. Show more

Love this app! I own the Korg er,ea and em1. Purchased the sold the elective 2 because I didn't like the layout and menu diving. This is the best replacement I have found. Any chance the next update will allow the user to change the incoming/outgoing midi notes? Show more

Instantly gratifying

K, really dude..?! Where has THIS been my whole life! If you have Poison 202....then YOU know not to expect anything less from the sonic genius and ability of Dmitrij. Gorgeous, User friendly, simple and sonically vibrant,... I am one happy soft synth enthusiast. My 10 bucks was NOT wasted, and man am I stoked about the potential for Live use outta this thang. I DO have two simple requests though... please in your next update, include more ‘instruments’, and more important: please find a way to make it easier to lock-in on non-decimal values when changing/re-tuning a sample’s pitch. The Oscillator’s pitch control is a littttttle sensitive. Just an idea, but maybe think about replacing the knob control with a Fine and Course tune-setting. But man am I excited to take some more time with this baby, thanks Dmitrij, you are a superior sound designer and whoever does your graphic design is quite impressive as well! * hey there- Maples Ex here, it is Mar. 12, a few months after I wrote the above review, and I felt the need to pop in again just to mention this: I bought this app as soon as it hit the App Store. Since it came out, I can say with full confidence that Dmitrij has been on top of this thang, kicking each version up a notch and just making it better and better almost by the month. There does exist a very select few App developers working in the Synth/Seq./DJ/Electronic music production realm who you just know have their whole hearts into what they put out there, giving their absolute all to their product. Dmitrij is at the top of those few. I loved Groove Rider from day one, and I have had a blast watching it continuously and consistently get even better and better; one or two tweaks at a time. It is worth spending the time with. And lemme also just mention: I get such a kick still out of the design and working within it. For me it’s a throwback to all of my “hardware favorites” from the 90’s, and packed to the gills with all every crucial sound and sample from back in the day. Add parameter tweak-ability to the Nth degree and add a modern library to stack on top, and we get Groove-Rider. Dangerously close to being a one-stop-shop studio application. -Cheers- Show more

I really love my boxes. Even with today's awesome apps and software, I cannot let go of my MC-303, EA-1, ER-1, EMX, SP-404, Sampletrak and whatnot. Then Jim releases this and my stuff is gathering some dust (until I reintegrate them to my workflow, of course) Highly recommend this powerful and intuitive groovebox, which as stated in my review title, is the first to fully embrace the full experience. No diving in menus to get stuff done. And the dev keeps the updates flowing. Pure love <3 Show more

It is good app, just buy it !

Update: Skins are a great addition! Loving it! ————- Update: I hope this app lives forever. I’ve had it a few days now and can say beyond a doubt that it is actually the only true groove box ever made on iOS. What an amazing experience to get back into that workflow and that way of thinking. Wow. ———— This thing is amazing, and reminds me most of my Korg EMX-1 synth from back in the day, except that it is more powerful! So fun, and so nostalgic. If I could have either right now I would definitely go with this app. I am about to start reading the manual, so if these capabilities are there, I apologize. Would love to have the ability to create choke groups for hi hats. Also, can you name the user patterns? If we can already do this, then forgive me! Job well done on an incredible and much needed app! Show more

- which is no small feat, there’s a lot of cool ones on the platform. The developer is quite amazing, huge updates keep coming, the app’s power keeps doubling, I don’t think dude ever sleeps. Buy this, his synth Poison, and whatever else he makes... Show more
