Blip Box — Drum Synth App Reviews

As advertised, this inexpensive drum synthesizer combines plenty of percussion-design punch in a straightforward interface, at a fair price. What's not to love?

Soundshaping enthusiasts dream. Great app, thank you for the universal purchase working on all platforms. I wanted to suggest two things: 1) the ability to lock the pad so that the menu stops popping up while playing. 2) in that locked mode, allow “legato” style playing, by that I only mean that you can slide your finger between pads and trigger them without lifting your finger. This is one of the killer features you can only do on a touchscreen, so that would be awesome to take advantage of!

Awesome percussion synth that works great for making unique drums. The interface is very clean and easy to understand. I love how quickly I can put together a usable kit in it.

I’ve had this app for a few months but am only now really delving in and sculpting sounds and I have to say, having just sold my Syntakt, this makes me feel like I’ve lost nothing, it’s so much fun. I can’t seem to map any parameters to the modulator in Logic Pro (iPad) but other than that this thing is amazing.

This is my favorite drum machine app. The AUv3 support has led me to use it on pretty much every track. I genuinely love it. It is fantastic value, especially since you can use it on your MacBook without paying twice (I’m looking at you, baby audio)

Can you Please add more seconds of holding down the button to pull up the options on the pads or use a two finger tap to activate it…. It’s very annoying accidentally activating the pad menu.

Was really expecting something more than this. As basic as it gets. Reminds me Commodore 64 sounds and wasn’t expecting that for the money. Would take a refund if possible

Yes, you can get very close to the classic Simmons Drums sounds from the 80’s, but this kit has a bit more going for it. Built in options for extreme distortion, for example, can get you closer to a Nine Inch Nails sound if you like. Deceptively simple to use, but loaded with creative possibilities.
