Description
Turn your phone or tablet into a musical instrument! RD4 - Groovebox is a music making app with virtual analog synthesizers, drum machines and effects.Compose and arrange your music in real-time. Choose instruments individually for the 4 channels. Record live or set notes with the dedicated sequencer or piano roll of each instrument.
"This is no desktop app crammed onto a touchscreen. It seems the interface has been designed around your fingertips." Peter Kirn from CDM (createdigitalmusic.com)
This multi-touch enabled app makes it simple to invent unique loops and musical phrases. Manipulate the sound of the synthesizers by tweaking the oscillators, resonant filters and audio envelopes. Add audio effects like reverb, distortion, phaser, filter and delay to your sounds.
Appropriate both for experienced musicians and beginners.
Loops you've created and exported with RD4 can also be automatically integrated into mikrosonic's audio mixer app SPC - Music Sketchpad.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★Eh. Wish you had more control over bass notes, maybe you do and the UIsucks. Wish there were more voicing options.
5 ★I love this beautiful app. Its my musical miracle maker
1 ★Hi this app is dreadful, no sound at all!!!!!
5 ★This app is ace at what it does. Unquestionably excellent value for money.
3 ★Zero for the price, even for free I you won't use it more than 2 day's, Sorry
5 ★Stupid def.
5 ★Funny piece <3
4 ★Ok
4 ★As someone who uses tangible gear this is a simple little APP. I'm using it on a tablet and i'd imagine it would be a pain to use on a phone. Most of the sound generated is flat which is convenient if you plan on mixing into a real soundboard later for recording. I prefer apps due to their price range as well as their simplicity. If you want to cut your teeth into something that's daw like this is a good intro without breaking the bank and getting super frustrated.
5 ★I really enjoy playing with this app. Very simple and intuitive. It's like having a setup that includes a combination of drum machines and 303s. The analog synths are a little bit of a let down, but it is only $5.
5 ★I just plug it into the third channel of my mixer and I always have a beat to build my sets around. Having a 303-esque bass and a few keys is an added bonus
4 ★Exporting loops is excellent for exporting to SPC. Wishlist: #1 while I can use the beats- or baseline-track to emulate a metronome, a dedicated one would be great #2 MIDI overvIP (rtpMIDI e.g.) would be great.
