FunkBox Drum Machine

The main reason you would want to get the Synthetic Bits-developed app FunkBox Drum Machine is because of the functionality it has to offer. The simple answer to the question “what does it do?” is this: it puts a classic beatbox from the 70s and 80s at your fingertips. You can carry a vintage drum machine that comes complete with a nice selection of original audio samples in your pocket; and you can enjoy it anywhere and everywhere you want to go.

Here’s a quick list of FunkBox Drum Machine’s features, just so you can get a better idea of what sort of functionality it has to offer:
- Looks and feels like vintage beatbox.
- 36 preset rhythm beats
- Create your own beats with ease
- 9 preset boxes
- Mix and match preset samples to customize boxes
- Import your own samples to customize boxes
- Export drum loops
- Use CoreMIDI to sync up with other music apps

How much do you think Synthetic Bits wants in return for an app that offers all the functionality presented above. FunkBox Drum Machine is available for purchase in the App Store for $3.99, which is not a lot considering that you’re getting a properly good vintage drum machine.

Proof that FunkBox Drum Machine is a properly good app comes from the popular virtual band Gorillaz. Yes, Gorillaz used FunkBox Drum Machine on “The Fall”, their fourth studio album which was released to the public in April, 2011. If FunkBox Drum Machine was good enough for Gorillaz, I’m sure it’s more than good enough to meet your needs.
