GrooveMaker

IK Multimedia announced the launch of GrooveMaker ® for iPhone/iPod touch - a new app that allows you to create and share non-stop electronic, dance and hip-hop songs on the go in real-time just like a professional DJ or music producer.

With GrooveMaker, you can create professional full-length tracks and grooves for your music compositions, ambient soundtracks, movie scores and more. And it's so easy to learn that you'll be creating your songs and remixes in minutes. Everything in GrooveMaker is done in real-time, without ever having to stop the music. Composing is as easy as drag-and-drop and puts you at the controls of the music.

Interestingly, Russ Landau, composer for the Fox TV show "Seducing Cindy," composed music for the show with GrooveMaker on his iPhone, while on an airplane. Says Landau, "I needed to write a couple more music cues for 'Seducing Cindy.' I opened GrooveMaker for the first time - minutes later, I had my first of several pieces assembled and mixed. Just like that!"
