FunkBox is Da Funk!!!
AJ Love(HOTBAD)
It's either Funkbox or shell out $3,800 for a used Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. If you pair Funkbox with your iPad inside of the Alesis io Dock II, you'll have a very formidable virtual 808 clone with midi via din or usb, internally pannable and has roughly 20 other vintage drum sets to choose from as well...Awesome job done by these developers...I finally can recreate that 80's 808 funk sound with a very precise and stable gadget..I'd like to see pattern to song chaining and the option to record my beat with no pre-quantization and higher ppq resolution. You can even sync Funkbox to start/stop your other music apps and run arpegiators and baseline synths in-sync to it. 10-stars. ?
Great drum machine with presets nightmare
Nick45689143
Top notch sounds and great two tracks sequencer (bass+drum). However, I don't really like the way the presets are recalled: by using individual buttons and a lever. A nice drop down list would be much more effective. I feel that that poor choice defeated all the other great features of the application. I do not use this app anymore because of that.
responsive with quality sounds
Damien Margo
Tap mode feels more responsive than most apps I've tried on my iPhone 5s. Performance on iPad Air 2 seems slightly worse. FunkBox is possibly my favorite iOS drum machine. Simplicity, solid UI, great sounds, MIDI, and very low latency from tap to sound.
So good.

It has all the vintage and kitschy drum machines I watch on eBay but haven't bought. Such a useful and powerful tool with a super rad interface. Top notch!
Awesome

This is what I've been looking for; that I couldn't find in other apps such as the joke of an app NI iMaschine v.1 and 2 and the MPC app. I can chain more than one sequence together etc. I was almost convinced that I was going to have to buy actual hardware but I can now do everything I wanted right on my phone. This is simple enough to not get discouraged. It makes sense from the first few minutes after you open it. Laid out well and there is a 40 page manual you can download to iBooks. I do industrial metal and this has a load of classic drum machines no extra downloads required.
SoEZ to use !! Painless rendering!

Rendering to wav and getting it to a universal location is the easiest I've seen. U can email yourself the wav and get it from anywhere. With all the Dropbox drive iCloud crud they make you use. This one at least puts that back in your hands. And it sounds awesome as is very easy to use. Sly stone. Phil Collins. How about the Em-u or HR16B?
Simply Amazing

This app should have a thousand 5 star reviews by now. I love it and the sounds are dead on. I practice guitar to it and poorly rap to it in the car. The interface is easy to use and it saved me from buying a $400 808 machine. Thanks a million guys.
Awesome

I love funk box. Great drum machine app. Used it on 3+ albums. And update and ableton link support would be incredible!! Please do that.
Favorite iOS App of All Time

I was seriously researching hardware drum machines for purchase. Having an iPad on stage isn't my idea of cool. But -- this app sounds so great, is so easy to program and navigate, and contains such a wealth of samples, it's impossible for me to deny it's absolutely the right tool for my humble rock and roll duo. Connect a cheap Akai LPD8 with a lightning cable and you've got an amazing sounding, totally versatile drum machine for use onstage as you play your set for bartender and bouncer! Totally stable once it's up and running. Improvement suggestions: 1. Sometimes on iPad Air2 with iOS 10 I need to restart the iPad to get any sound out of Funkbox, even though other audio apps will work. Not sure why this is happening. 2. The tap tempo feature is nice, but I'd love an option to input exact numerical value for tempo with the keyboard. The tempo slider is way too fiddly -- gets you in the ballpark, but you often need to press the tiny + or - buttons ten or twenty times to get your exact BPM. Thanks for making my favorite iOS app of all time. Just a treasure!
