Intuitive, fun, powerful
EightyN
It's very easy to get started with this interface, which is well designed for the larger touch surface on the iPad. I initially would have thought that flipping between sections would have bothered me, but it's fast, and each page has the right number of controls on it to make it useful. The sounds from the synthesis engine are good, and it supports enough tracks to make some nice little compositions. Glad it supports the pasteboard. Looking forward to more effects, hopefully. And would love to see smaller note increments (1/8, 1/16) and more time signatures in a future update. But what's already in the app is pretty great!
Top 10 synth/production apps!!!

Amazing powerful and very intuitive. This app is a forerunner for one of if not THE best synth an beat creation apps out there. The interface seemed a bit too simple in contrast to others like it but after a few minutes, realized that's for the best. It's a no nonsense interface that has been perfected for the small screen interface of the iPhone/iPod touch. I know $10 seems high for an app to most but trust me you'll get your moneys worth with this app.
Sweet beat box, lots of options

Liking the bleeps I'm hearing so far! Mature, smooth interface, vintage drum machine tones and plenty of tweakable options to keep things interesting. Keep up the good work!
Wow what a great app
AmbientMuse
Very powerful yet it scales up in complexity nicely. You can jump right in and start making music or dig deeper and create your own unique sound. Very cool!
Deep program

This program is pretty deep, it has many pages of fun features. If you like this sort of Drum Machine / Groovebox way of composing you will probably like this program
Grooveboxer's paradise

At first I was overwhelmed by this app, but reading the manual made me realize the potential of it. Coming from programming my old trusty Electribes, I can already tell, this app is going to be among my favorites. Also, the fact that there are no samples, is going to make it that much more interesting. If u like playing with grooveboxes, get this now!
Really solid beat sequencer
cleversticks
I tried the Player version first and found it to be really deep and useful. Bleepbox does a good job of dealing with the iPhone screen size and it's fun to make beats with it. In terms of workflow, there's almost nothing getting in the way of making good stuff. It sounds good, looks good, and is nice and speedy to work with. The main snags I ran into while getting into it is that you have to be connected to the internet to get the documentation; it's not built-in. I have an iPod Touch and was first looking at it on a plane, so there was more guesswork learning some aspects of it than would have happened if the docs were baked in. I also wouldn't write melodies with bleepbox because it doesn't have a keyboard, which is more comfortable for me. I'll still try it and see if the sequencing way will work for me. If you're used to working with a step sequencer, or looking to work and play that way, or if you (like me) mainly want to make beats, look no further.
Great synth and sequencer with great Flexibility
Iamame
Bleep!box offers a great step sequencer with lots of tracks, patterns, and flexibility for pretty complex arrangement. The synthesis engine is great for tweaking to make "just the right sound". I had a lot of fun tweaking the sounds and arranging. The pattern creation process especially shines, as I can set timing, pitch, an other parameters with great ease! I would suggest the author make it easier to switch between screens, and I found the controls fussy at times, but these are suggestions for improvement, not wholesale change. For melodies, I might also prefer a keyboard, but I have gotten used to the lack thereof. This app is easily worth the price for the flexibility alone. Great work and I am sure I will keep using it!
Slightly disappointed
Artemiy Pavlov
All in all, it seems a fun app but it needs improvements. First of all, I think the interface could be thought-through and arranged much better. Next, the sound is a bit cheesy and low quality most of the time, you have to spend a lot of time tweaking the parameters to get it sound good. So, for pure fun - a nice app, albeit a bit expensive for such purpose. If you're a sound design professional, look elsewhere. I wish I played with the free player version - wouldn't have purchased the full version. I only hope that the author gets the app to a higher level with the next updates.
Loved it, now it crashes too much
XsevnX
Everything was working great, but recently everytime I try to play a full sequence the app crashes. I have tried everything possible to fix this, but no matter what I have done, it still crashes. This is a great app, but this problem makes it worthless for me!
