PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM
GrooveMaker+Dancity is actually a combination of two products: the GrooveMaker software and the Dancity sample collection. 
The GrooveMaker is the first groove generator based on a powerful sample layering engine with huge pre-grouped loop sample libraries  called "songs." Now it's fast and simple to create instant, hi-quality dance music. With the GrooveMaker, you can play, mix and randomize your own grooves on the fly, with  instantaneous control over 8 stereo loop tracks, in real-time! Separate volume and pan controls, solo and mute buttons are at your disposal giving you an intuitive environment to create stunning grooves. And you can even add your own samples! Shift the tempos (+/-20%) just like a DJ in a live  situation. With the randomization feature, you'll discover endless loop combinations to keep your sound fresh. Every combination you hear can be saved on the fly, or marked inside the program for instant recall. 
A Virtual Synth Arpeggiator is also included to give your performance that rave impact! With 99 sounds and more than 128 presets, a synth snapshot feature and "smart-notes!" 
With the GrooveSequencer you can assemble your marked grooves in a sequence list with one click. Now you have a  full-length song which you can either mix to your hard disk (as a complete stereo file) or save as eight individual stereo tracks for subsequent mixing on your hard disk recording system. But if you think that's quick and easy, check this out . . . 
 . . . the fastest way to make not one, but millions, of different songs is with the V-Mix. Here a VIRTUAL DJ instantly assembles 4 random mixes with a simple click. That's it! And every time you click again, another random song set is generated. Get hours and hours of instant remixes and never hear the same thing twice. When you hear something you particularly like,  save it, or just let it run and groove for you all night long.
The Dancity sample collection includes... 504 studio-quality remixable loop samples (from 98 to 180 bpm) pre-grouped in 8 songs, that can  combine to produce more than 80 million different grooves using the GrooveMakerª soundware engine.  Choose from Techno, House, Progressive, EuroDance, Jungle, Trash, and more. A  huge variety of instrumental loops including Bass, Bass-Drum, FX, Loop, Line, Pad and Percussion, plus Vocals, with incredibly rich sounds created from massive state-of-the-art gear. A 99 sound, 3 octave virtual synth with more than 3,000 sound events is also included for real-time performances. All samples are available as 22 and  44kHz, 16 bit files. Studio ready, and Royalty  Free! And more loop collections are just available!
