I wish someone had told me about bleep!BOX earlier. I might have based the first 5 episodes of ECPM off this instead of technoBox! Similar to Rebirth and technoBox2, as a complete studio with multiple synth and drum parts, this blows both away. It beats Rebirth out in ease of use, and technoBox2 in terms of both the sounds it produces and the control it provides. This is a complete synthesis solution for beat making, without relying on tired old 808 drum samples.

The new update pushes this even further ahead of the competion, offering both MIDI sync and triggering. As you might expect of an App from White Noise Audio, makers of Genome MIDI Sequencer, the MIDI support is complete with a full virtual MIDI implementation. This is something I have sorely desired of technoBox2, but has yet to be implemented.

This came at a great time for me too, as I was in the mood for an acid jam. The video below was done in my first hour of playing with it. For people who like step sequencers, but hate stepping through the steps this is so easy to use. It took all of about 3 minutes to program in this month's pattern from the Monthly Acid Pattern group on SoundCloud.
