Appmuse

FunkBox has been my go-to drum app since it came out. That was a while ago, and FunkBox has always been in the forefront of iOS development. While it’s fun to use, it’s also one of the most useful apps I own. With Audiobus 2,IAA' and the array of apps available in the effects positions, There are nearly endless possibilities. Buy it and enjoy! Show more

One star is the extra Linn Lm1 and Lm2 samples.. Used by prince all over the place... And the last star is if I could program up to 32nd notes.. Then I'll change it to 5 stars.. Show more

FunkBox is definitely not the most authentic sounding drum machine emulation, well at least not on every machine, but it's an incredible deal to get this many features at this price. So glad it includes the MRK2 so I can do Sly Stone! I like the quirky vintage styled interface...lot of attention to detail in the design. Overall not as well laid out as others like DM-1, but still, very nice range of features. Best feature: combining patterns by pressing multiple buttons, just like the good ol days! Show more

One of the best just got a whole lot better!

Funkbox has always been delightful, emulating classic drum machines like the LinnDrum and the Drumulator (I paid $1000 for the latter way back when). But with the new update? It roars! Audiobus 2, including state-saving. Increase in overall volume, which is nice. Invaluable "Open In…" for easy export. MIDI clock interface and even swing with external MIDI! Jeez, these are great devs! Also, as with some of the old Rhythm Ace boxes, you can hit two patterns at once for fun polyrhythms. Love it to pieces. Show more

Sounds a bit better than DM1 but DM1 has it beat by far n features. Overhyped IMO.

Way cool definitely worth the price!

Has some good sounds from classic machines. It does need a song mode though. Right now, you can only export the audio for 1 pattern. I guess if you have a whole MIDI rig, you will be fine, but if you want to outline a song, this software does need a sequencer upgrade. Even old drum machines had a feature to string patterns along. This does have a nice user interface. I feel like I am working on an old Roland machine. If they add the ability to string patterns along, this would be an even better machine and would fit the needs of more people, like myself, looking for something simple to do all song outlining in one place. You can string patterns along now, but you have to do it live. To record your drum patterns, you have to press record on your external recorder then press the pattern buttons as the song progresses to queue the next pattern. I really like the logic and layout of the UI. The timing does have a good feel too. The timing seems to be more natural than other units. For this the be the ULTIMATE, groove box, I would ask for: 1. A pattern arranger a.k.a Song mode 2. An export of the song audio. 3. An export, that is like a packager of elements. For example, the ability to export the midi data, the sound files used and any other settings all in 1 folder so it can be easily imported into something else. Did you ever created a drum piece on a box that had a nice feel and tone, then export it's MIDI for import on another unit that used different drum sounds? 9 times out of 10 it loses it's luster, vibe, color, and momentum. If this could package all of the basic elements for export, it would be a plus. If you create a piece with a particular set of sounds, these sounds should stay attached to that piece. In any case, it is well worth the $5 just to have an additional input method for patterns; it just needs the arrangement and export features improved. Thanks, Dave K. Show more

Responsive, easy to use, sounds great. $6 well spent. Wish I could find more apps of this caliber.

Cool app, works well. Makes some great beats, fairly simple to figure out. Good times.
