July 16, 2008 - Check back sometime next month for a special announcement. Until then enjoy this GrooveSstep performance video from the CDM Futuristic Music Design Challenge that took place a few months ago.

April 24, 2008 - While the NYPD was busy protecting the Pope in New York City on April 19th, GrooveStep infiltrated the Nintendo World Store and tried its best to blend in. More photos on the media page.

Also check out the newly posted FAQ.

April 10, 2008 - GrooveStep will be competing this weekend in the CDM Futuristic Music Design Challenge taking place at Yuri's Night Bay Area 2008! If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday, April 12, 2008, and want to try out GrooveStep in person, please stop by the CDM Lounge after the competition. The competition takes place 2:30-3:30PM and we'll be at the lounge afterwards for a few hours.

Also we'll be posting a FAQ and more information next week.

*** a few notes abut the April 7th video:

1) the YouTube compressed audio stream is in mono so the stereo panning in the demo is not audible :(

2) the pattern editor featured in the video is only one of the 10+ screens that are part of the GrooveStep digital music studio
