- added nested folders support for the imported user samples. Now you can browse your samples tree not being limited to nesting level or folder name length;
- import .zip function now imports your samples into GR-16 documents folder, preserving full subdirectory tree from given zip file (previously, all subdirectories were merged into one during import);
- bug fixed: Copy/Paste patterns function was not working properly after last update;
- minimal improvements in the Arpeggiator: Up, Down and Random modes are now also affecting the arpeggiator's octaves, not only key order as it was before;
- fixed: Midi In now ignores incoming midi channel notes, if corresponding part's Mutes are ON;
- fixed: "-0.00" parameter value issue which sometimes appeared in the adjustable Settings parameters.
In previous update (1.6.2):
- User patterns bank is now subdivided into several sub-banks (4 x 64 by default), for easier pattern navigation. You can change the subdivide factor from the Settings menu -> User sub-banks parameter;
- now you can hold "Part ->" or "<- Part" button and tap a Pad, to instantly select desired Part;

wareismike,
Seriously one of the TOP apps of all time!
This app is utterly fabulous, and this developer is amazingly responsive. Feature after feature has been added every week. Groove Rider 16 is a groove box. And it is so feature rich, well designed, and just plain fun to use that I can’t put it down. All my iOS DAWs seem like work rather than play. This is mainly designed around 4-bar patterns, so take the reviews saying this is a full fledged music production system, the best DAW ever, etc. Sure, you can make songs by chaining patterns together, and can export patterns into DAWs, but it’s main attraction for me is as a quick and fun jammin’ idea powerhouse.
That said, it has HUGE power under the hood. A good library of samples included, the ability to import your own, and a surprisingly good synth, that is super-basic, but able to dial in great sounds in a fraction of the time I spend messing around with full synth apps. Did I say synth ... I mean up to 16 of them if you want.
At the very least, consider this an introduction into the best features of high-end hardware groove boxes at a tiny fraction of the cost. If it doesn’t gel with you ... then you just saved yourself hundreds of dollars on hardware, cause you won’t like it either.

Joleliscious,
Buy this now.
I was initially upset when I bought this because I forgot to purchase this yesterday for Black Friday (my own fault, you snooze you lose). I really wanted to try it however, caved, and bought it for double the discount price. And you know what... it was worth every, single, cent and then some. I can already tell that this is the greatest purchase Ive made in terms of music production software on iOS and I’ve bought a LOT. Nothing has been able to take the number one spot, Fugue, until now. I love electronic music and this is one of those tools that just “resonates” with me as I use it and you get into the zone with near instant gratification of your musical ideas. Wow. This is special. Just buy it. The developer deserves more than the regular price and I’m glad I actually paid full. My only regret now is that I didn’t discover it sooner.
Eriptron,
Ohh This Is Going To Beee Fun❣️
I'm going through the setting, turning on background play, etc., and probably will be playing with this till sunrise. I can feel it❣️ My Christmas present to me. 🤓 Thank you Dmitrij❣️ I stopped reading when I saw that it used the Poison synth engine and bought it. It became a no brainer, it did. It wasn't that it was 50% off. lol (and that I saw that the filter was a 12/24 dB / octave. I'll come back for the rest.
This, THIS is going to be good. A lot fun. Dmitrij these (and Poison) are like what I would put together with the exact same features if I was so gifted. I had been wishing for something that was both a 'mad synthesizer' but it was hidden under a bigger musical personality. Be back with results of my initial impressions.

Amaze-⚽️ 🏀 ⚾️ groove creation station!!!!!!
Amazing pro level app from the dev who made the phenomenal Poison-202 synth! Anything I can say has probably already been said so I’m just going to use this as a platform to beg the dev for my feature requests. 1) the X-Y JimAudio manipulator pad needs to be like 25-50% bigger PLEASE! [erhaps not all the time but for some functions it would work during live play SOOO much better IMHO... Secondly, okay so the people who you’re really making this app for have already invested tons of $$ in Novation’s iMachine-Launchpad-Blocs-, Retronyms AudioCopy, Beatmakers Intua, Sampletank, Beat Hawk, (and a couple more I’m forgetting) sound bank/libraries.. make it a $5-10 IAP +/- but plz be our hero musical savior and incorporate a way to import these sample libraries into groove rider and manipulate them with your terrific program.
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!
Leom187,
Best iOS music app hands down.
I’ve been making music on iOS for bout 3 years now and nothing strikes a more perfect balance between, fun, immediacy, and great sound sculpting options like this thing. Feels like an instrument. Between the great synth engine, sample import AND resampling options, and the wonderful tools like the touchpad, erase button, chord modes, arp, groove presets, and super handy fx routing, you pretty much feel like you can do no wrong here. So sit back, relax, and ride those grooves. And special thanks to the developer for rolling out quick updates that tweaked the app to amazingly be better than it was on release. Great stuff here. I can see myself making music with this for a LONG time.
MakeyElliot,
LOVELY SEQUENCING BEAST
Love all of the features and simplicity of your app seriously useful & great interface!
===============================================
Small suggestions or requests
An ability to change octaves by swiping up, down or to sides above below or on side of pads would be amazing to allow for changing octaves in key or chord mode fast without a midi controller or without having to move finger to octave change area and keep it with the pads.
Another feature I think you could benefit from is a user sample folder section that automatically loads pads. A shuffle or random button could apply samples in this folder to all pads.
Lastly a cloud partnership with sample library apps or music apps that allow people to chop & place samples on pads directly in app would be cool & possibly a way to extend your reach or partnerships.
Regardless it’s amazing and these are not essential, just suggestions that might take it somewhere else!
Thanks for all of your hard work and creativity!

Small suggestions or requests
An ability to change octaves by swiping up, down or to sides above below or on side of pads would be amazing to allow for changing octaves in key or chord mode fast without a midi controller or without having to move finger to octave change area and keep it with the pads.

Best in Class Groove Making Machine
Wow! Just wow!! This is a serious machine built by a musician for musicians. On the surface it’s an amazing and tangible interface for making wonderful beats, but below that surface is a monster waiting to be unleashed.
I’ve gone through almost every iOS beat making machine there is and I can say without hesitation this is the most powerful one I’ve seen to date. This is the kind of app that makes me start to delete other apps so I can focus on one machine and learn it inside it out. This puts the focus on making music and that’s what being a musician should be about.

A full fledged groove box at a steal of a price
What a great tool for fleshing out ideas on the go. On the surface it may not seem sonically deep but once you understand all the options you can achieve some very usable sounds. While there is quite a bit of menu diving involved for all the various parts of the sequencer and menu it all makes sense to allow you to have a mostly 1 screen app.
You could go spend 10x or more on a hardware groovebox and not really have as much freedom to arrange and tweak sounds the way you do on GR-16.

Music Mood Maker,
The best music production app thus far
This app transforms your device into music production power house with all the bell and whistles. I can’t even think of any other app that’s packed with so much effects and powerful features. GR-16 is a five star app for sure 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The features are so incredible. This app has become my main production app. The developer is very quick on updating and adding very useful features. I wish 🙏 the developer could work with other developers 🤝 to teach them a thing or two about music apps 🎹
In GR-16 you can edit each note‘s velocity, timing, swing and some other cool features that I have never seen in any other app before. When you look under the hood you’ll find a powerful engine.⚡️ 🎛🎚⚡️
GR-16! the number one app for music production and performances!!! 🏆
Shoutout to Jim Audio the number one developer for music apps!!!🏆

Close to perfect but needs a few things!
This app is so close to being the perfect groove box but needs a few things! First 6 note polyphony! Next we need templates! I don’t like having to change the drums every single time I load up a new track it really slows down the workflow and creativity sometimes! Last thing would be truly unquantized notes! Sometimes when I play it cuts off some notes which made me realize they aren’t truly unquantized! Other than that it’s great.
