Features & Capabilities

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!

Yes, you can get very close to the classic Simmons Drums sounds from the 80’s, but this kit has a bit more going for it. Built in options for extreme distortion, for example, can get you closer to a Nine Inch Nails sound if you like. Deceptively simple to use, but loaded with creative possibilities.

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.
