Groovy Beats is a DJ loop creator that'll let you create phat beats to drop on the kids or something. I'm not a big music guy, so I'm not really up on the lingo. However, I'll try to explain things as best I can.
Groovy Beats gives you eight tracks 16, 32, 48, or 64 beats in length depending on how much space you need. You pick a sound for each track like a percussive sound, or a single piano tone, choose the beats where you want the sounds to play, then let 'er rip. You'll be left with a music loop of around 1 1/2 to 17 seconds, depending on the tempo you choose.
UI
Clean, and nice to look at. By necessity, there's a lot of stuff on the screen at once, though, so if you have fat fingers like I do, you may end up with the occasional mis-tap. Also, it can lag a bit every now and then. Overall, it's a very effective setup.
Usefulness:
It's not the deepest or most robust loop creator out there, but it gets the job done. Unfortunately, the free version doesn't give you any way to save your work, so that costs it a fairly large chunk of its usefulness.
Reusability:
Near infinite. If you ever need a music loop for a project, or even if you just like making them, Groovy Beats will have you coming back over and over again. The free version comes with over 100 sounds to choose from, and you can purchase hundreds more.
What I Liked
-Plenty of sounds to choose from.
-Easily-adjustable tempo and volume controls.
What I Hated
-Fat fingers can cause a few mis-taps.
-No auto-save.
-No way to mute a single track.
-The save feature isn't free.
Final Verdict:
Groovy Beats will certainly let you create some groovy beats, but it has a few quirks, and you need to lay down a buck if you want it to be really useful.
Groovy Beats is available for free with in-app purchases from XLabz Technologies Pvt Ltd on BlackBerry App World
