Powerful, great tool

I have made several tracks using G. I like the export tool for midi too for further use in software like ableton live. Well done!

Elgaard76 ,

Free app yes, but no content

Great advertising the app as free, but without one single soundpack included. Everything is addon buy. Deleting it again.

Tazmanian Ninja ,

Decent but far from perfect

The sounds are fine, but usability-wise, it’s mediocre and cumbersome: concretely making REAL, original music, is hard. I can’t imagine myself ever making a full track in Groovebox 😏

Auxy is vastly better in all the above aspects: superb usability, and you can absolutely make full tracks in it, from start to finish! So yeah: I recommend trying Auxy instead 👍 It’s what I’ve used on the go, for a few years now 😎

Koala Sampler is good too, btw 👌
