What Blocs Wave is
Blocs Wave is an iOS app for finding sounds, building loops, and recording musical ideas. It includes six soundpacks with nearly 300 loops, and users can add soundpacks from a library described as receiving weekly updates. Forty-eight loop pads with real-time stretching help shape ideas, while recording, slicing, and rearranging sounds support loop creation. The Pro Features Collection adds audio importing, beat slicing, and a touchable EQ. Exports include mixdowns, individual tracks, and Ableton Live. The app also supports Audiobus, AudioCopy/AudioShare, hardware input, and Ableton Link, and projects can be connected to Launchpad for iOS. Blocs Wave is free to download, with in-app purchases available: Audio Import is $5.99 USD as a one-time purchase, and the Pro Features Collection is $9.99 USD as a one-time bundle. Ampify says its Launchpad Premium and Ampify Premium subscriptions are not available in the app. Apple’s listing says identifiers and diagnostics may be collected without being linked to the user, based on developer-provided privacy information that Apple has not verified.
