## What is VoxBeat drums and looper?

Sing a beat and have it automatically and instantly converted to a drum machine beat!  Plus you can record audio tracks to fully capture your musical ideas - super fast.  It's the ultimate musical sketchpad.

The revolutionary VoxBeat drum machine analyzes the kick, snare and hat sounds that you sing ("beatbox"), and assigns high-impact drum samples to your beatboxed drum sounds. It's amazing and intuitive. It is the easiest and fastest way to program beats:  just sing them.  You can also just touch the screen to enter or correct drum hits, in real time.

You can also add audio tracks to capture your ideas. Make a beat, sing a bass line, play guitar, sing a melody, mix, add effects if you like, and export your pattern/loop to a WAV file. 

VoxBeat is the ultimate musical sketch pad looper and features:
-12 durm kits with 9 sounds each - 108 drum sounds!
-6 tracks total (3 for drums, and 3 for either drums or audio)

### 4/5 — Good

*2022-11-08*

Enregistrement rapide ok
Manque un peu d'effet pour les voix (reverb)
Bon vu le prix
Le beatbox ne reconnait pas très bien ma voix

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-06-06*

This is seriously one of THE worst apps I’ve ever seen. Totally unintuitive and buggy. I couldn’t stop playback at one point and it kept going, EVEN after killing the app! Avoid.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2019-10-05*

Needs to finish baking. iPad native screen etc. AU functionality please.

### 3/5 — Does what it says, and well, but with no MIDI export—well, why?

*2019-01-29*

I like the way this works. I’ve been trying Humbeatz too, and this is just ten times more usable. I wind up with beats that are approximately what I intended (though being able to change the quantization grid density would be nice), unlike with the other one. This /could/ become part of my workflow. I have long loved the idea of being able to create finished beats starting with beatboxing and/or tabletop drumming. (This app works great for the latter too.) But without MIDI out, I can’t do much with it without having to do an additional, manual step. Meaning, notate the beat on paper and copy it over to—say—Funk Drummer. Obviously, we’re spoiled with all this tech, but that’s kind of a pain, and it slows me down.

### 5/5 — Impressive app!

*2018-05-01*

So much fun + useful for documenting music ideas on the go. Tutorial videos on the developer’s website are very helpful for learning and taking advantage of all features.

### 5/5 — Straightforward music making fun

*2017-11-08*

Nice little sequencer for making simple beats. I'm going to keep this app as another tool in my music toolbox.

### 1/5 — 2 d's for a double dose of junk

*2016-09-20*

Garbage, not even a toy. The mic option on the headphones (3 different sets, one brand new) will only pick up the hi hat, and it's laggy so the best quantizer in the world couldn't help. I'm on a brand new iPhone SE.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2016-05-09*

Handy and artsy app, helping musicians have fun and make serious music with.

### 5/5 — Very interesting concept

*2016-04-25*

you can program a beat by beatboxing it. You can also manually enter, but singing it is more fun.  The app is pretty deep if you go into the settings page.  Nice one!

### 5/5 — Loving this app

*2016-04-16*

I'm finding this to be a great practice tool. It can be kind of like a custom backing track machine. Great for practicing soloing or singing.

### 1.3 — 2015-08-12

-This update fixes a major flaw that caused the app+document size to balloon in size. It's probably best to first delete app and then REINSTALL this 1.3 version.  NOTE that if you reinstall you will loose presets though, so best to export as .wav file the presets you want to document! SORRY, but it was a needed fix.
