Good, but not quite there yet.

Once you get the hang of this thing, it's deceptively robust - for all the minimal GUI choices, it delivers all the nitpicky fun most synth dorks crave. The main reasons I'm loathe to go Pro are a) it's somewhat redundant if you already have a groovebox like Groove Rider (though I prefer the onboard synth engine & samples here) & b) the drum machine is limited to 12 or 16 beats, which feels oddly restrictive. If it stays in relentless development & keeps offering new goodies like GR, I might pick up the full version a few updates from now. Lots of promise & good sounds... just a bit undistinguished at the moment.

Developer Response ,

Thanks a lot for your review mambonassau!
Well the PRO features offer more functionalities than any other groovebox do, (such as GR16) : indeed, for example, with the PRO version of the BLEASS groovebox, you get multi audio (separate) audio outputs for use in other DAWS, or full midi in/out/sync features which you might like to use to extend your experience further than in any other groovebox.
Also, we constantly update the BLEASS groovebox with new features, and since its launch one year ago, we've made several ones introducing new samples (over 1000 available currently), new instruments and features... stay tuned, other updates are to come!

Finally please note that you can go up to 8 bars for each sequence (in both binary and ternary modes), this is not limited to 12 or 16 beats, but 96 or 128 per sequence if you increase the bar number. And you can add virtually a limitless number of sequences, especially in song mode, as the BLEASS groovebox song projects support hundreds of sequences...
Don't hesitate to go on our Youtube channel for more tutorials and examples and reach us on feedback@bleass.com for more information.

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 ;)
