An awesome creativity igniter
I own the pc version
I have been using this app to assist in overcoming writers block and also to help spark new ideas. The samples are top notch and the UI is designed in such a way as to be intuitive and inspiring. All samples come pre-defined with tempo, key, type (melodic, percussive, bass, drums), and can be mixed and matched with ease. The most valuable feature is the automatic time stretching allowing super experimental genre blending. It has your basic slip editing as well as EQ, and samples can be sliced to create different variations. I do have some improvement suggestions for the devs. I’d like to see a 3rd export option: Export bank stems. You can currently sum a group and export that, but it would be nice to be able to get the individual stems without exporting the entire project with all 6 banks. Also, (and perhaps I missed it) but a solo feature would be nice. Who not flick down on a sample to mute it, and flick up on a sample to solo? I have probably spent a good dozen or so hours in the app and I can confidently say this is an indispensable tool for any musician/producer at any level. Note: when exporting sounds, always use WAV and make sure when importing into your DAW that your audio track is set to stereo, not mono. I saw a few noobs complaining it sounds bad when exporting and this is why.
Love this app

The ability to export directly into Ableton and sync with my Novation Launchpad is amazing and I use this all the time. I love it. Thank you.
Great!!!

An amazing app. Very useful in a producers tool box of song starting methods. Very instructional, but missing one thing, at least in my mind. How the save a project! Yes!!! Save! Prove me wrong!!!
One of the best music apps out.

I can’t say enough about this app, I can definitely say download it now for you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts with you today. Peace ☮️ and prosperity to all.
A++ app
☠️??
I love this app to death. I never write reviews?. I have one request, if somehow I can flatten a sound and change the pitch of each track. This way I can blend the tracks better. In so many words, independent track pitch, that’s all it’s missing, I’m not going to be greedy.
A lot of fun!

I couldn’t possibly call myself a proper musician, yet this app has led me to spend over 100 hours creating little beats and song ideas. The simplicity of it is brilliant. The team behind the app clearly puts a lot of love and work into the sound packs (I’ve bought nearly all of them now). They seem to update with new packs roughly once a month which keeps the app fresh and fun. Loses a star for three things. 1) The sound packs could use more variety. You can tell just from the type of available sound packs that the developers are London-based electronic music junkies. That’s all fine and good, but this app could be *amazing* if there was more variety. Give us a pack of just solo classical piano! Give us African drumming! 2) This app consumes battery like nothing else. I’m not really sure why, but it does. I have a new iPad Pro and the battery is under 50% after one hour of using Blocs Wave. And 3) It’d be even more fun if it played better (import/export) with other apps. Aside from those three things, it’s fantastic. Keep up the great work, guys!

Yes - Kinda early. Only 'bout 5 minutes. ⭕️ I have already advanced far enough to create a melodic, repeating audio cycle that is... "Most Absolutely NoT Boring, on so many levels. So far it's an an unexpectedly Very Imaginative Ride - through various pre-sets of provided Content. Now, At the end of this process, I'm Now listening to some Really Great Music - which apparently I Created. WoW!! Is MY Reaction. You guyz are on to Something Awsom here. Thanx!@@
number one feature wish

I enjoy working with Blocs Wave, it really is great for generating ideas. If I could have one wish for a new feature it would be a record function that would work while "playing" scenes. I have made many chops that just do not play back exactly the same way when exported to either Launchpad or Ableton Live as they do when I'm switching between scenes in Blocs Wave--this is because in Blocs Wave you can essentially switch between two or more scenes that are running simultaneously rather than stopping and starting the scenes on the beat as in Launchpad or Live. Would love to capture those grooves via audio inside the app and then export to DAW. A text-based manual PDF would also be helpful!
Man, what’s up???

This app continues to crash every time it is opened! I'm trying to import files and the processing indicator stays on and nothing happens.
