bleep!BOX

You get a lot more than a bleep with this baby,it can be a bit fiddly but if you like tweaking knobs and sliders this ones for you.

3 stars for the nice warm-sounding synth but the UI is incredibly clunky and straight off an 80s drum machine. It takes HOURS just to lay a basic track down. Get Nanostudio instead. It's just got so much more to it and it's easier to use.

I read the reviews And thought yeah, seems like it will be right up my street. How wrong was I. This is without any doubt the most convoluted music app I have used for the iPad. In fact I haven't gave any app a bad review until now. The method of inputting notes in to the sequencer is awful. I cannot emphasise what a creative killer it is adding one note at a time which you then have to tweak incredibly fiddly parameters to hear. You cannot draw notes in the grid and forget recording in notes manually as the latency is appalling on this app. Then there's the method of tweaking sounds. Again this is a slow and painful process. Then we come to song creation. Oh, what a mess! The software designer seems to have no understanding of how important fluidity in making music is. he surely cannot have made music before. I don't like to be so hard, but I am shocked at how Awful the ergonomics of this app are. The sounds it produces are decent enough, it's just a shame the software design is very poor.

I love the retro groovebox feel to this app. The fact that all the sounds are synth based means you have a ton of options for tweaking sounds! Hope to use this app live in a set soon

I would not recommend it because it's to hard to use, I like it and everything, but it's not a easy to use :(

lovely and amazing

In a way, this app is clunky, the graphics are simple, but functional. The best thing, and the developer points this out, is that you can create your own sounds and that is huge. The best thing that the developer could do is to write up a simple owner's manual. His tutorials on YouTube are fair, and there is another video that is a bit better, but a written manual would answer all the questions any user might have.

I love this app! It's perfect for beat making! I'm surprised no one else reviewed this awesome app!

UI doesn't fill the entire 6 plus screen.

This one has been with me for years and though it has a respectable drum synth engine and an excellent performance mode the continuing issues with Audiobus are tiresome. The latest update is said to address such issues- honestly I had not used the app for some time so I fired it up in Audiobus to see if there was indeed a problem and the all too familiar lack of sound had crept back in. I did the update and still nothing. Without Audiobus functionality this app goes from 4 to 2 stars; the sounds, while customizable still fall a little flat without the benefit of some additional FX and aside from the neat performance mode the user interface is rather clunky and not ideal for jamming.
