Groovemaker vs TEMPO

Groovemaker contains two audio unit effect plugins: Bouncer and Freezer. You can load them into your DAW or other audio unit host. But more than a pure container app for the two plugins, Groovemaker is a fun and inspiring tool in itself. Use it to experiment with audio loops in a simple way, on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, on the bus or train or at the beach and export sketches to pick them up later in your DAW and studio.

Make a beat. Build a song. TEMPO-1 is a sampler groovebox and a mini DAW in your pocket. Play, sample and sequence on iPhone and iPad, then turn your patterns into an arrangement with the new standalone Song Mode. BUILD THE GROOVE Play 12 voices with modeled drums and samples. Create patterns up to 64 steps and shape each hit with velocity, probability, microtiming, ratchets, conditions and pitch. Record pads or MIDI, add swing, and bring movement to your patterns with effects and automation. TURN PATTERNS INTO SONGS Bring saved Patterns straight into a timeline with up to eight Pattern/MIDI, Audio and Instrument tracks. Build sections, add markers and tempo changes, and use FILL to repeat whole clips into empty gaps. Keep reusable ideas in the Pattern Library and saved clip banks. RECORD, LAYER AND PLAY Record an Audio track from your microphone or a compatible connected interface. Trim takes, adjust gain and fades, and reuse phrases. Import compatible audio through the bottom Bank pattern chooser bar, then place it on a Song Audio track. Add separately installed compatible AUv3 instruments. SHAPE YOUR SOUND Record, import, edit and resample WAVs for the pads. Balance Song tracks with level, pan, mute and solo, then shape the mix with EQ, effects and track automation. TAKE THE IDEA FURTHER Export a stereo Song WAV or a mix with Song-track stems. Choose the entire Song, a loop or a selected time span, or share a Song project package. Pattern workflows retain loop WAV export, MIDI export and live WAV capture. CONNECT YOUR SETUP Use MIDI learn and external MIDI output, or run TEMPO-1's Pattern groovebox as an AUv3 in a compatible host. Gillespie Audio Built by a musician, for musicians.
