The record

What it does: Groove Rider 2 is a groovebox and DAW-style music production app for creating and performing music on iPhone and iPad.
Live performance: It has a 16 × 16 clip-launch grid and Ableton Link synchronization for performing with other music apps and gear.
Song arrangement: Song mode lets users arrange MIDI clips on a timeline, edit parameter automation, and export compositions as a master audio file or separate stems.
Instruments: Built-in instruments include a sampler, a two-oscillator synthesizer, a SoundFont 2 player, and a wavetable synthesizer.
Effects and layers: Each part can use up to three instrument layers and three insert effects, with three-band EQ; each pattern supports three master effects and two send effects busses.
External app integration: The app supports Ableton Link, AUv3 hosting, AudioBus, Inter-App Audio, Core and virtual MIDI, and Bluetooth MIDI.
Controller support: It supports Akai APC40 mkII and Novation Launchpad X, Launchpad Pro MK3, and Launchpad Mini MK3 controllers.
File import and export: It supports MIDI import and export, WAV master or stems export, and importing user samples in WAV, FLAC, or AIFF format up to five minutes long.
Legacy project import: Groove Rider 2 can import patterns made in Groove Rider GR-16, one pattern at a time through the GR-16 app’s share sheet.
Related app requirement: Full access to the integrated Pure Acid and Poison-202 modules requires purchasing and installing the corresponding app; otherwise, each module has a five-day trial period.
Compatibility: The App Store listing requires iOS 16 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 16 or later on iPad.
Privacy: The developer reports that the app does not collect data; Apple states this privacy information has not been verified by Apple.
Audio performance note: The listing says multi-core audio rendering can reduce CPU load, but may behave unstably with playback glitches on M1 and earlier devices.
Headquarters: Kyiv, Ukraine
