A pocket groovebox for iPhone. Touch the pad and it's always in key.
getting started
- Press play (the green key). A groove starts.
- Touch the dark pad. Left to right is pitch, bottom to top is tone. Up to four fingers. Every note is in key.
- Tap the groove name to pick another of the 17 starting points, or tap the dice to roll a new beat.
- The four tabs: beat (drum steps and kits), sound (45 pad sounds, key, scale, chords), loop (record up to four loops over the beat), fx (what the hinge, tilt and shake do).
on iPhone Duo
- Fold the hinge in from wherever you're holding it to push the effect (filter, dub, stutter or tape stop, picked in the fx tab).
- Close the phone and the music keeps playing while the outer screen shows a visualizer. Tap for the next one.
- Light show: tap light show in the fx tab, then stand the phone on a table like an upside-down V. The inner screen becomes a light show under the tent. Tap the ✕ or close the phone to stop it.
questions
I can't hear anything.
Press play, turn the volume up and check the silent switch. The drums and sounds keep playing in the background and when the phone is locked.
Does it work on other iPhones?
Yes. The pad and the controls share the screen, and the touch fx strip in the fx tab does what folding does on iPhone Duo. Tilt and shake work on every iPhone.
The effect keeps coming on by itself.
The hinge effect follows how far you fold from your grip. Set the hinge effect to off in the fx tab if you'd rather not use it.
How do I start over?
Pick a groove from the list to replace the beat, or clear each loop in the loop tab.
