GrooveMaker® is THE app for creating non-stop electronic, dance and hip-hop tracks in real-time, by anyone, anywhere, like a professional DJ.

GrooveMaker gives you a completely new way of making music. Thanks to our patented groove generator technology, you can automatically remix the hundreds of loops included (grouped into songs), on the 8 available tracks, in virtually limitless ways, all with one touch. With GrooveMaker, ANYONE can be a DJ. Its like working with a full music production studio!

Everything in GrooveMaker is done in real-time, without ever having to stop the music. You can add, remove, and replace single or multiple loops as you listen, so theres no stop to your creative flow. Remixing is a breeze and a totally new experience. Full track sequencing is as easy as drag and drop, and puts you in control of the groove. Its your mix, and it all happens in real-time.

Pick a drum groove. Layer on a bass riff. Add a bass drum beat. Spice it up with melodic and rhythmic lines, leads, pads or effect loops. Browse millions of grooves with one click and pick the ones you like. Change tempo on the fly without stopping the music. Then save it all as a new remix and export it to your Mac/PC for your own compositions, compilations, video soundtracks and to share with your friends."

Crowphonics CRO-1 Available

via the Crowphonics mailing list.

"I've covered the few advanced orders of CRO-1s and now I've just made three that are sitting here and ready to ship now. Therefore, its a good time for anybody who prefers to buy under the understanding that its in stock and ready to ship. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll send a paypal request out.

Working on CRO-2 circuit now. Just messing around with circuit for preamps for external audio input and ringmod initially. I'll post some sounds up when I have a bit of the circuit I'm happy with.

Thanks to Robert and Surachai at the Chicago synth meet yesterday for including the CRO-1 amongst all the great stuff and for getting it on video too (a few sqeauls of CRO-1 at 1 min 08).

Big up the Chicago synth geeks massive!!! I can swap a CRO-1 for the Serge.

This week Crowphonics is expanding to include my wife 2.5 days a week as her job as the main breadwinner is going part time. I should get more boxes made now as I can't let her see how lazy I really am. Its a new challenge as I now have to make some money with this!!!"
