FunkBox was featured in Computer Music Magazine’s “Amazing Music Apps” special issue and Electronic Musician magazine’s “Attack of the Killer Apps” best music tools for the iPad.

We designed the FunkBox drum machine to look, feel, and sound like a classic beatbox from the 70s and 80s. It uses audio samples recorded by us directly from our own personal collection of vintage drum machines. It also features advanced MIDI and audio features that allow you to use it in a music studio alongside your “real” gear. Or just keep it in your pocket to sketch out some dope beats in your spare time.
