bleep!Box is a music production suite for your iPad.  It’s comes housed with a sequencer, a synthesizer, and a drum machine.  It’s noted for its quality sounds, which is rare in the world of iOS.  I would say that the sounds are more tailored to the modern electronic producer than say a Hip Hop producer, but Hip-Hop-heads looking to create some quirky tunes will enjoy this app.

The sequencer gives you 16 steps and allows you to adjust the note, velocity, and swing of these steps.  Parameters for manipulating the tone and shape of the stock sounds include oscillation, modulation, envelopes and filters – giving you lots of flexibility.  The performance page gives you a visual of your pattern in an arrangement view and you can even loop certain segments, on the fly, to create cool FX and change ups.

Another thing I like is the fact that you can create and save your own presets.  If you’re the type who would rather play their arrangements and do less sequencing then bleep!Box has you covered.  Switch to the Pad page and easily record your own rhythms using the touchscreen pads.

The interface workflow could be a little smoother, but otherwise this is still a great app.  If you’re looking to create some electronic music on your iPad, bleep!Box is not a bad way to go.
