Nice

Love it but it has a weird smell

Response from developer

Just like jazz? ;) Thank you for your feedback.

Best Groovebox App

This app is a musical instrument. A musical instrument needs to be immediate to make it fun for those who play it. It has become my go-to app for creating ideas on iOS. Please, BLEASS, continue to support it and add the AU multi-out functionality so we can record multi-track sessions in apps like AUM.

Perfect: Great sound, simple UI, and runs on older devices.

This is the ideal app to turn (not only) older iDevices into a Groovebox. The sound is great, and the typical clear and colourful Bleass UI even works on smaller screens and with older eyes ;-)
Well done!

Thank you for your support

良いアプリだと思うのですが

アプリ課金は、どこからすればいいのですか?
したくても、場所が分かりません。
教えて下さい。

追伸
教わった通りにやってみましたが、ウンともスンとも言いません。もうこのアプリは終わっているんですか?
だとすると、アンインストールせねばなりませんが…

少し分かってき始めたので、頑張ってみます。

I love these type of apps but this particular one doesn’t cut the mustard.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Launchpad but my favourite by a country mile is….
BLOCSWAVE
It’s in a league of its own.
Try it and thank me later.

BLEASS Groovebox is designed for fast music creation while still giving you detailed control over sound design and pattern development. It lets you turn quick ideas into structured, finished-sounding tracks without sacrificing depth or flexibility.

My fav groovebox in App Store

…but it cries for updating to meet contemporary standards

N

Puh, na ja…eigentlich nicht nutzbar in der kostenfrei-Version. Jedes Mal wenn man was anklickt sagt dir die App das es nur in der vollversion funzt. Is ja ok, aber wie wollt ihr mich so überzeugen die App zu kaufen? Vielleicht mal nachdenken und die Dollar Zeichen in den Augen löschen?

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir bedauern, dass Sie die kostenlose Version als eingeschränkt wahrnehmen. Viele unserer Nutzer, die sich für die Vollversion entschieden haben, berichten jedoch, dass sie darin die für sie passenden Funktionen zu einem fairen Preis gefunden haben. Wir nehmen Ihre Kritik sehr ernst und sind stets bemüht, das Nutzererlebnis weiter zu verbessern. Ihr Hinweis ist dabei sehr hilfreich.

Did you actually say professionals? Like seriously? 2+2=7

Guys, stop. Some people might take that seriously .

Response from developer

We do take it seriously since 2018 :)

I hate to do this, but 1 star is as far as I can take this.

picked up Groovebox on October 11th, 2022. On the 15th, I picked up Monolit, Phase Mutant, and Omega. At first, Groovebox seemed very promising. Unlike my traditional desktop DAW, I am able to build up complex sequences relatively fast. With my primary DAW, I actually get tired of tweaking the same sounds and sequences over and over again. Groovebox makes this simple.

So what’s the problem? I have never been able to export a usable file. What is exported is a *.bleassprj file. I can toss it up to Dropbox, email it, etc… but what’s the point? A MIDI file would be more useful despite loosing most of the audio substance that you worked for. The actual sounds are not embedded in MIDI files. A WAV file would be priceless as I could load it into my DAW and build on it.

Bottom line: I’m sure must be a way to export a sequence for further development. It’s escaped me for 10 months. My iPhone is the only device I have where an “Enable Ableton Link” is present. Ableton naturally pushes you towards adopting the full Ableton Live environment. The iPhone’s inter app functionality is janky at best. Besides, I shouldn’t have to use additional apps to realize the capabilities that convinced me to get this app in the first place. This goes for all Bleass apps.- BEFORE YOU BUY, find as many tutorials as you can that address Bleass and your existing system(s). I bounce back and forth between Windows and Linux platforms with no additional hardware. There are several apps in the AppStore that export usable files without jumping through hoops. I keep the Bleass apps installed in the hopes that a straightforward export functionality is discovered.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration with exporting files from BLEASS Groovebox. You can absolutely export WAV files and recover MIDI data. Here’s how: For WAV Export: Tap “Config” (gear icon) on the main screen. Switch to SONG mode. Set RECORD MODE to “ON”. Play your sequence, and the tracks will be exported as WAV files. These can be saved to your iPhone’s Files app or transferred to Dropbox, iCloud, or your Windows/Linux DAW. For MIDI Export: In “Config,” go to the MIDI OUT settings for each track. MIDI data can be recovered in two ways: If using Groovebox in standalone mode, connect a sound card to capture the MIDI output. If using an HOST app like AUM, route the MIDI OUT signal from each track to your desired destination (e.g., another app or DAW). For further guidance, check the “Tutorials” section on www.bleass.com or contact our support team at support@bleass.com. Let us know if you need help setting this up!

Per me la migliore del suo genere.

È l’app con cui mi trovo meglio quando voglio buttarmi giù degli “appunti musicali” su smartphone, i suoi synth sono molto efficaci per tirarci fuori parecchi tipi di timbriche, molto bella e pratica l’interfaccia, non fa 3500 cose ma quello che fa per i miei gusti lo fa dannatamente bene, complimenti allo sviluppatore👍🏻👍🏻

Trapped on my iPhone

I started off with Groovebox and ended up getting Omega, Phase Mutant, & Monolit as well. I’m starting to think that I put the cart before the horse. Perhaps I should have given the export feature some attention before putting together a track/beat that I’m really proud of. Export doesn’t appear to mean “export as a standalone audio file that you can play in any media player”. I have an iPhone, an old laptop, and a beats audio system in my car. While I was a DJ in the early-to-mid 90’s, all that equipment is gone. But the music still lives inside of me. I obviously got in over my head with Bleass. I just want to make music and listen to it whenever I happen to be.

Trop compliqué

Vraiment pas intuitif, trop de sous menu et de perte de temps à chercher les fonctions

Response from developer

Bonjour, merci pour votre retour, nous avons fait beaucoup de chemin depuis :)

Would love to see this get a update

Bleass has came so far since this app was introduced , now that they have an entire suite of fx and instruments , it would be a welcome addition to have groovebox host them or integrate them somehow. While this app is not quite there the work ethic and the consistency of the company is an indication that there may still be hope for this Groovebox yet ;)

It's been updated since, and hope you're still making music with us.

Needs to double up

Lots to like with this app. In particular the ability to easily extend notes and change key within a sequence. The price for a full unblock is reasonable, and there’s no silly subscription to spoil the party. Unfortunately, there are only 4 tracks.What it needs to reach 5 stars is 4 more tracks, many more and varied samples (possibly as IAP packs) and AU3. If these features were an IAP, I’d be first in the queue to buy!

Great for anybody to make quick melodies

Played around with this app and was making decent tunes quite quickly.The only thing is once you start building a song you realise you need more channels’ 4 is not enough

Response from developer

It's been designed as such, limited platforms often enhance creativity and we hope it's your case now.

Bugs

Utilizo o aplicativo a alguns meses. De início usava a versão gratuita, não ligava muito, mas aviam alguns bugs que deixavam o processo maçante. Tem um tempo que comprei a versão paga, desbloqueei as ferramentas novas e tudo mais, mas atualmente o aplicativo está com alguns bugs novos que estragam completamente a experiência. Quando começo a mexer mais profundamente personalizando o som e saio da janela de configuração daquele som em específico, ele soa completamente diferente do que eu programei. E em outro caso, quando vou alternar de projeto para projeto, é como se o painel duplicasse e ficasse ao mesmo tempo um em cima do outro. E tem outro bug, só que mais antigo, às vezes, eu não sei porque, mas os sons perdem a sincronia e eu tenho que reiniciar o app para voltar ao normal. Gostaria muito de verdade que solucionassem esse bugs, pois o app em geral é bem prático e bom de utilizar. Além disso, sei que tem como ficar bem melhor se os bugs fossem resolvidos. Foi por aqui que conheci o app e acho que ele é uma boa porta de entrada para o app principal, mas que se os problemas não forem resolvidos, pode acontecer de sujar a visão do app principal como produto. No momento se eu fosse escolher, ficaria recluso em comprar o app principal. Obrigado pela atenção.

Sehr intuitiv und modular einsetzbar

Super App. Wenn man bedenkt, was man Knete ausgibt auf OS X für Plugins, bekommt man für etwas mehr als 10€ eine richtig Chris gute Groovebox. Man bekommt mal so nebenbei richtig groovige Sachen hin. Dicker Pluspunkt ist, dass man seine eigenen Samples Laden kann. Perfekt mit Audioshare. Der Alpha Synth von Bleass ist auch Hammer. Ich habe eben ganz schnell eine fette Bassline in der Groovebox gemacht, via AUM gespeichert und via SD Card in die TR8s importiert und machendes weiter und zurück ins iPad. iOS ermöglicht ganz neue Perspektiven.

Thank you for your feedback, it's been useful :)

Killer!

I feel like some of these reviews are from limited exploration of the app. From my use of this app, this is really intuitive, feature packed and completely capable of pretty much anything you’d want or need in a groove machine of this sort. Loving it and for live applications, fantastic. Developer, please consider continuing development on this gem. Really really great in a live setting. 10 stars.

Thanks! Justice for BLEASS Groovebox indeed ;)

Super Grovebox

Könnt ihr bitte noch eine MidiFX auv3 Funktion implementieren. Die App hat gerade auf den IPhone einen genialen Workflow und eine super UI.
