Full description

GrooveForge is a small music app for MIDI keyboards and soundfonts. It isn't a DAW and doesn't try to be one. It started as a practice companion: I wanted a portable way to relearn scales after years away from a piano, and it grew from there. You build a rack of synths, effects and MIDI processors, stack them in whatever order you like, and save the whole setup. There's a MIDI looper with multi-track overdub, bar-accurate quantization, reverse and speed control. Jam Mode locks the keyboard to a scale, so out-of-scale notes snap to the nearest correct pitch. It's a practice aid, not a teacher. Beyond the keyboard there's a 32-band vocoder with PSOLA pitch locking and a noise gate, a Stylophone, and a Theremin that can follow your hand through the camera if you want it to. Swipe for glissandos, or move vertically and horizontally for pitch bend and vibrato. USB and Bluetooth MIDI both work. The microphone is used by the vocoder only, and audio is never stored or sent anywhere. The camera is used only by the Theremin's CAM mode, and no images are saved. GrooveForge is open source under the MIT license. Built solo, with help from AI pair-programming (mostly Anthropic's Claude Code). No ads, no tracking, no accounts. Expect rough edges.

What's new

Wah effect gains a Manual mode: sweep the filter yourself with an expression pedal or a CC knob Rehearsals: remove the phone speaker's click bleed from a take after recording, with the original kept Fixed rehearsal tracks briefly falling silent when playback starts or the playhead moves Now installable on devices without Bluetooth LE or a camera
