funkbox drum machine
vintage beatbox app for iphone and ipad
Get down, get funky, and drop some old school beats with the FunkBox drum machine app for iPhone and iPad!
FunkBox is loaded with classic beatbox sounds and patterns from the seventies and eighties. Want to practice playing guitar, bass or keyboard, but you need a little more funk than a metronome offers? Just tap play and jam away.
When you want to take things further you can edit your own drum patterns, load custom drum samples, sync to external MIDI hardware, export audio and midi loops, and lots more!
FunkBox and its funky retro beats were used by the Gorillaz when recording their iPad album "The Fall"!
FunkBox has also been used live in concert by artists such as Joan Osborne, and Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze!
King of the beats.
- Hundreds of classic sounds sampled from our own personal collection of vintage drum machines.
- Thirty-six funky preset drum patterns to get you moving and grooving.
- Tap along on top of the beat using the drum pads, and overdub your own parts.
- Use the built-in mixer to adjust volume, pan and accent levels for each sound.
- Easily save, load, and share all the sick beats you create.
Get in the groove.
- Precise setting of tempo with the tempo slider, or just tap what you're feeling.
- Ease into a perfect groove with adjustable swing.
- Sync up to external drum machine or groovebox hardware with MIDI sync.

Dropping science.
- Want to go deeper? Use the pattern editor to create your own patterns from scratch, with adjustable accents, swing and speed.
- Even deeper? Edit the boxes to mix and match samples, or mess up their timing a bit for some random vintage funk.
- Deeper still? Use the drum part editor and create your own sounds: edit sample pitch, start/end points, or swap the samples with your own.
Get connected.
- Email the audio and MIDI patterns you create to your friends, use audio copy-paste to get them in another app, or send them to your studio computer to use in a real production.
- Use CoreMIDI to sync FunkBox up to real hardware instruments, other music apps, or a studio DAW like Ableton Live.
