A Virtual Groove Box Within Your Sequencer

Image Line release Groove Machine for OS X and Windows 12-Oct-11

We ran a news story about the beta testing of Groove Machine in the summer and now Image Line has announced its official release. They say that Groove Machine is a virtual 'Groove Box' within your sequencer, perfect for live performance or use it as a hybrid synthesizer, drum sampler or to create loops.

Groove Machine features:

  • 5 hybrid (Subtractive/FM) synthesizer channels
  • 8 flexible sampler channels, each with 4 sample layers
  • 10 DJ-style effects + EQ and Stutter PER channel.
  • Stepsequencer with per-step automation allowing PER step note sculpting of all interface parameters.
  • Step / Drum sequencer / Piano roll views
  • Optimized for live performance
  • Internal link system for maximum compatibility with all MIDI controllers
  • Ideal for dub-step, trance, house & hip-hop producers

Pricing and Availability:
Groove Machine available ON SALE for $99, and will revert to the normal price of $149 on November 2, 2011

Would be brilliant as an iPad app. Inside a sequencer where practically all of the features are duplicated, not so much.

this doesn't waste as much electricity XD

madguy22 21-Oct-11 08:51 PM

0:30 great moment.

antfactor 19-Oct-11 06:12 AM

Using external controllers is far better than a mouse and keyboard... but what you guys should really be considering is making this into an APP for the iPad! I would buy this in a heartbeat. No joke(!). Make it happen.

zhir96 15-Oct-11 11:28 AM

first of all image-line you have an amazing product!!! i really really love it. and i have a question ...Why Aren't You Youtube Partner?

skankthis 14-Oct-11 07:50 AM

muh

withaspoon94 14-Oct-11 02:54 AM

its called the korg EMX 

VenVile 13-Oct-11 05:08 PM

You guys should really consider making this into a hardware machine. IL's first ever, hardware production tool. One can fantasize.

VenVile 13-Oct-11 05:07 PM

I can actually see this being a very successful hardware synth/sampler/drum machine!

FredthaGr8t 13-Oct-11 04:36 PM

anyone looking for a discount on this can check out my discount video

musicdefinesgravity 13-Oct-11 09:31 AM

yeah it's awesome

TheSynthsoldier 13-Oct-11 07:23 AM

A great remake at that!

JonnyMacEachern 13-Oct-11 04:53 AM

1:24 should be released as a track.

djspecmail 12-Oct-11 09:21 PM

good work! Image-Line! Great Groove Machine! =) niceee music!

aikighost 12-Oct-11 11:09 AM

This needs a maschine like custom hardware controller.

imageline 12-Oct-11 10:14 AM

- It is a remake of said track.

TheSynthsoldier 12-Oct-11 06:58 AM

That sounds very similar to Wolfgang Gartner - Wolfgang's 5th Symphony. Give it a listen!

MarkIBAC 12-Oct-11 05:47 AM

1:08 - 1:48 is incredible. I wish it was an actual song :[

tobyemerson2 11-Oct-11 09:11 PM

Easy per-step automation of any control, sample start time modulation in the sampler are a couple features FL doesn't really have that are much easier in Groove Machine. Makes a good compliment to FL.

Piedoom0 11-Oct-11 07:55 PM

Elektribe?

JonSkarin 11-Oct-11 07:11 PM

I... need...this....

must......have......

MrTranceNinja 11-Oct-11 06:43 PM

That is one sexy plug-in right there.

eerereps 11-Oct-11 06:34 PM

a little bit of Mac love!!! good stuff!!!

adriandu 11-Oct-11 06:20 PM

The track that's demoed for the first live performance bit is pretty awesome...can someone tell me what that is / where I could hear it in full?

marcuelcajon 11-Oct-11 05:45 PM

The live performance part is nice.

oskrock 11-Oct-11 05:42 PM

Coudln't agree more. FL Studio can do the same and even more!

Kabzoer 11-Oct-11 05:27 PM

1:22 is that Wolfgang Gartner? 5th Symphony?

JonJensen84 11-Oct-11 05:21 PM

i never understood the meaning of a drum machine when making music

SushimasterTM 11-Oct-11 05:11 PM

Sorry, but it can't do *anything* what FL could not... may be interesting for non-FL users.

metonator 11-Oct-11 05:04 PM

0:16 nice dubstyle :D btw ill buy it ;) demo is fantastic :D

sidework1 11-Oct-11 05:00 PM
