Old drumbox maravilhoso

Quem conhece o conceito de drumbox vai amar! Vc pode usar as baterias eletrônicas vintages mais clássicas e aí dá pode misturar os sons e fazer uma bateria personalizada. Uso há mais de 10 anos nos discos que faço e seguirei usando.

needs an update to be an AU!

great app otherwise but thats a big blocker for modern use

It crashes…

I love this “Machine” very much.
Sounds, functions, so excellent !!!
But, when I try to change the pattern storage, It Crashes.
Please improve the fact that the app is not catching up with the OS.

Lame

Mega lame

Lovely drum machine!

Excellent little classic drum machine with sequencer. Great for messing around with some beats offline.

Abandonware ⚰️☠️✋🏼🚮🚫

It’s dead, Jim

Please refresh update a bit

So good. Just worried because it’s been a long haul since this genius bit of kit has been refreshed

Can’t access settings

Cannot access the settings. It puts me back to the Home Screen. Otherwise great app!

Dated, crashes

All the sounds are there, but no updates in 7 years means this is now horribly dated, including crashes, and most importantly, saving patterns not working. Save your money

Incredible

The usability and interface are superb (even moreso on an iPad). Samples sound good too. Fun, fast and simple keep inspiration at the forefront.

Thanks you all!!

Crashes on settings

I do like very much the layout, use, and sounds. However, crashes whenever I try to open settings. No response from tech support.

Took over my phone!

Sounded promising, but the app won’t close.
I have to reboot every time I use it.

Rippin

Love this app, recommend it often, and use all the time for writing and for break beats in tunes!

Still great after all these years

Until/unless Uli ever makes good on his promise to clone the hardware, this remains the best CR78 emulation out there. And 808. 909, OBX… and so on. Brilliant, brilliant app!

Отлично!

Но обновите, чтобы нормально смотрелось на современных телефонах.

The Best Drum Machine

This is an amazing Drum machine for 5.00. The only thing is I wish it had a randomizer for drum patterns.

Love this APP, you get out what you put In

Used this on a few of my tracks or just to get ideas. Make a loop and then bounce it to audio.

Once in audio you can either leave “as-is” or convert that audio to midi in ableton and then fill in w samples from the same drum machine. It will keep the same groove or swing from the box but you can then compress, buss or effect each individual sound.

Use it as a starter to get you somewhere else.

Super useable drum machine

I play and record a bunch of different instruments but I’m nowhere near a competent (on time) drummer. For the styles I play (hip hop/soul), FunkBox allows me to create amazing grooves with timeless sounds. Honestly not sure why this app doesn’t have more reviews. It has so many of the classic drum machines that I grew up hearing.

Took me a while to figure out that if you tap on the image of the drum machine in the ‘Box’ tab, that you can build your own drum machine from the samples of each classic machine.

The only issue I have so far is that I can’t figure out (or it needs to be added) how to start/stop the drum machine while in any tab other than the ‘Funk’ tab.

Abandoned ware?

This was a nifty app. Seems it’s become abandoned.

Love it but

Have to give 5* but please someone help with a video on saving patterns. I always seem to overwrite them. The Load/Save procedure is labrinthical
