Blip Box is a sixteen voice drum synthesizer that may look nice but can sound mean. Blip Box takes inspiration from a variety of synths, both analog and digital. We pulled together all the things we love about drum synthesis: complex audio rate modulation, snappy envelopes, harsh effects; and put them together in a compact, touch-friendly package. The result is a truly unique digital sound engine that has taken on a life of its own. Whatever you do, don’t have fun with it! Features: - Focused, fun, and characterful synth engine - Touch-first design, almost the entire screen is part of a control - Runs standalone or as AUv3 plug-in (in compatible host) - Universal purchase on Apple platforms: runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Presets synced across your devices via iCloud - Hook up a MIDI controller to play with a keyboard (optional) Details: - Pure synthesis engine, no samples - Complex digital oscillator with two-way frequency modulation - White noise source - Two snappy AD envelopes with variable shape - Unique mix control for pure oscillator sound or ring mod mayhem - “Choose-your-own-adventure” effect: analog (ish) wavefolder or digital degradation - State variable filter for tone shaping - Envelopes can be routed to modulate oscillator shape, pitch, or filter cutoff - Mix to filter cutoff modulation available for crispy filter FM - Velocity responsive, either in traditional level (gain) mode or brightness mode - Multi-out mode available when running in AUv3 mode - Master tune for keeping tonal drum sounds in tune with your song - Includes 13 inventive and usable factory kits to get you started making music Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sketchaudio Read the manuals: https://sketchaudio.com/manuals/
