December 2009, Modena, Italy – IK Multimedia is proud to announce the release of a new application for the iPhone/iPod Touch: GrooveMaker Reggae. This new style-based app allows anyone to create and share non-stop reggae tracks for remixing, multimedia and movie soundtrack compositions on the go, in real-time, just like a professional DJ or music producer.

GrooveMaker has quickly become one of the top downloaded remixing applications for the iPhone/iPod Touch, allowing any user to create professional, full-length tracks in minutes, with its unique combination of advanced remixing software and high-quality included loops’ sound content. With 10 available applications in the GrooveMaker range, there are now over 2,800 high-quality fresh loops available for your remixes.

GrooveMaker allows for instantaneous control over 8 stereo loop tracks, making it possible to remix the included massive loop library of drums, bass, bass drums, lines, pads, percussion and effects. Its unique and patented randomization feature allows musicians to generate a vast number of remixes on the fly, with one touch, to produce millions of possible groove combinations.

Loops made in GrooveMaker can be manipulated in real-time (pan, volume, mute, solo, group and tempo) and grooves can be arranged easily by dragging and dropping to create full-length tracks. These tracks can then be saved, previewed and recalled on the iPhone/iPod touch devices or exported as hi-quality .WAV files to any computer using a Wi-Fi network.

The new GrooveMaker Reggae allows you to compose reggae, dub and dancehall tracks with walking bass, hypnotic chords and syncopated beats. Pure reggae grooves with thick low-end and heavy bass sounds, dampened guitars, staccato riffs and shuffle keyboards will transport you in the world of Rastafari, with beats coming straight from the roots. Includes 3 songs, plus 1 FREE song by registering, and a total of 252 loops in 80-78-80-92 BPM ranges for 332 MB of samples.
