Completely redesigned and enhanced with more professional tools for building non-stop loop-based music on the go

IK announces GrooveMaker 2 for iPhone and iPod touch, the most powerful mobile loop based music making app with a patented "groove generator" engine that lets anyone create professional quality non-stop grooves, beats and songs in real time on the go. GrooveMaker 2 has been completely redesigned with a slew of powerful new features, giving users total control over their creations while functioning as a live performance powerhouse app.

GrooveMaker 2 provides a completely new and intuitive way of making music by using groups of loops called songs (60 loops per song) that always sound good together, and users use these to build build grooves and complete songs. GrooveMaker 2 gives users ability to mix and remix their creations from a newly designed iOS 7 style interface and intuitive controls, loop import, automatic mixing controls, loop effects, mastering effects, groove sequencing and export controls.

There are literally millions of groove possibilities that can be constructed and deconstructed with GrooveMaker 2. Over 3,600 available loops from a continually expanding library of over 60 collections for virtually every style of groove music including House, DubStep, Hip Hop, Techno, Electro, D'n'B, Trance, Reggae, Reggaeton, Rock, and artist's packs from Ace of Skunk Anansie, Chris Domingo and Cool & Dre and more.

There are tons of new and powerful performance features in GrooveMaker 2. The new Grid Interface allows users to literally "draw" new grooves by dragging their finger across the screen, as well as being able to change the length of individual loops and grooves down to 1/4 of a bar. Additionally, GrooveMaker 2's time-stretch engine allows complete tempo changes (up to 200% and down to 50%) without affecting the pitch of the loops.

GrooveMaker 2 also features a suite of up to 16 creative effects users can apply "on the fly" to mixes and grooves, including staple effects like delay, reverb, filter, flange and wah, but also specialized effects designed forlive DJ performance like stutter, noise, twist, tail, brake and spin. Furthermore, one of the most requested features is now fully implemented in GrooveMaker 2: audio recording and audio import (E-mail, FTP, SoundCloud, and more).

Check out some of the new features:
  • Completely redesigned iOS7 style interface
  • New single application allows you to have all your loop collections in one place via inapp purchase (any GrooveMaker 1 loop packs bought previously are unlocked and usable in GrooveMaker 2 upon registration
  • 16 Packs available in 60 song collections (1 song included in the free version, 4 songs included in the full version and more available via in-app purchase)
  • New Grid interface allows for simplified loop remixing - even by "drawing"
  • Single loop duration and groove duration can be freely selected down to ¼ bar, with new 1/8 to 1/32 live-repeat function on full grooves for dramatic effects
  • 16 available FX with automation and touch-pad like interface
  • IMPORT functions allows to import audio files or record your own grooves within the existing collection (available for in-app purchase in the Free version)
  • New high-quality time-stretch for seamless groove tempo variation from 50% to 200% of original BPM without changing the pitch
  • New real-time recorder of your remixing performance
  • New master control with Compressor, EQ and Filter
  • New sharing features include Audio Copy, E-mail, Wi-Fi, FTP and SoundCloud
  • Compatible with Audiobus, Inter-App Audio and X-Sync

looks cool.
I wonder, if I can also import Apple Loops from my existing loops collection?
And does Groovemaker support automatic adaption of Apple Loops to the key set in a project configuration?

Here is something else I would like to see. Integration of Sampletank mobile version! You could include MIDI Patterns in Groove Maker and use them to trigger sounds from Sampletank. Let the whole thing follow a user definable Chord progression and then it'll be major creation tool.

That would be cool, at this time you can import the patterns via Audiobus (there's a video tutorial coming on this very subject) but I see your suggestion adds some finesse to that :)

Hi Peter,

Nice update! I assume that different sample packs will be released within GM2 now rather than having multiple apps?

Cheers,

Alex

Yes, Samplepacks are available as in App purchases.
TAke a look at the detailed product description at IK'S website. There are 16 Packs in various styles plus some artists packs. There is also a pack that gives you an additional pack with effects on top of the 10 included in the full version.

Are the loops royalty free? Can I use them for releasing tunes or for movie soundtzracks?
