The Woovebox - a tiny and cheap but ridiculously powerful groovebox

I don’t drive. For me it’s an off peak day ticket.

Great value and can take me multiple places. Yes there are more expensive luxury options like a taxi but i think the day ticket is a great option being both affordable and I get off any time and jump back on whenever I am

This thread is a bit quiet at the moment - I’ve not had much time to Woovebox lately myself, sadly. Hopefully soon. What’ve you all been doing with yours?

I’m still rolling with mine. Still an amazing device with what it can do in that tiny package. So much power and so fast to create something nice.
Only my eyes get sore after looking at the leds for a while, so my sessions are short, sadly.

I also connected the woovebox with my deluge (oled) over midi. Nice portable combo.

If woovebox oled will come out, i will buy again. :relaxed:

It is my little musical Swiss army knive. I use it as:

  • sketchpad

  • do soundsdesign and sample it in other gear

  • when I have writersblock I use the random pattern generator

  • sample stuff around the house

  • midi controller for other gear

  • sequence other gear/ipad

I don’t make whole songs on it, I have too little time to think about arranging in the woovebox itself.

Big update (biggest yet) should be coming in ~3-4 weeks.

Any possibility to make the headphone volume persistent?

Yes.

Wow! Will there be features added or mainly enhancements?
I can’t imagine what you could possibly add to improve, it already feels complete :slight_smile:

Both! :slight_smile:

Nice! Thank you, looking forward to see what you have come up with.

If you want to hit the ground running with the new features and have ~3 USD to spare, get yourself one of these;

Make sure to get the “stereo” (3 pole / TRS) version (e.g. one less ring than pictured). Note: there are various other sellers of this particular little mic as well - you don’t have to go through them.

Ooh exciting, I just ordered one :slight_smile:

Edit: I already have a stereo lav mic which I assume will also work so if you need a beta tester let me know!

This is nuts! Awesome :slight_smile:
Currently Woovebox only has line level input for sampling I believe. Microphone must mean mic level sampling, or vocoding, or something of that ilk.

For every development cycle, I have a test track that tests new features and improvements.

If you listen closely (and also not so closely), you should hear most of the audible goodies in action in this single pattern-per-track song. Everything was either synthesised on the Woovebox, or recorded (4 samples) on the Woovebox with the $3 mic.

Got lots of work to do still until I can commit/share more. Stay tuned!

Super cool! It definitely sounds like there is some time stretching going on there… I refuse to believe that is possible, but there you go :grin:

Anyone here have a Dirtywave M8? Thoughts when comparing to the Woovebox? Is there any reason I should consider the M8 if I have a WB? I rely heavily on the WB’s chord follow feature. Can you do random patterns in a scale on M8? Guess I should end this comment and go rtfm :stuck_out_tongue:

yes you can! the random note feature + the SCA effect makes really nice random melodies
