Description

Blip Box is a sixteen voice drum synthesizer that may look nice but can sound mean. Blip Box takes inspiration from a variety of synths, both analog and digital. We pulled together all the things we love about drum synthesis: complex audio rate modulation, snappy envelopes, harsh effects; and put them together in a compact, touch-friendly package. The result is a truly unique digital sound engine that has taken on a life of its own. Whatever you do, don’t have fun with it! Features: - Focused, fun, and characterful synth engine - Touch-first design, almost the entire screen is part of a control - Runs standalone or as AUv3 plug-in (in compatible host) - Universal purchase on Apple platforms: runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Presets synced across your devices via iCloud - Hook up a MIDI controller to play with a keyboard (optional) Details: - Pure synthesis engine, no samples - Complex digital oscillator with two-way frequency modulation - White noise source - Two snappy AD envelopes with variable shape - Unique mix control for pure oscillator sound or ring mod mayhem - “Choose-your-own-adventure” effect: analog (ish) wavefolder or digital degradation - State variable filter for tone shaping - Envelopes can be routed to modulate oscillator shape, pitch, or filter cutoff - Mix to filter cutoff modulation available for crispy filter FM - Velocity responsive, either in traditional level (gain) mode or brightness mode - Multi-out mode available when running in AUv3 mode - Master tune for keeping tonal drum sounds in tune with your song - Includes 13 inventive and usable factory kits to get you started making music Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sketchaudio Read the manuals: https://sketchaudio.com/manuals/

    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

    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.
  • Best drum synth going

    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)
  • Love this app

    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.
  • Great!

    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.

    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!

    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?
