Alongside the more gorgeously designed<\/a> iPad apps, is another kind. A kind which doesn’t necessarily have that snazzy, trippy user interface we’d probably like to set our eyes on, but at the same time shouldn’t be pre-judged because of it. Boxx falls directly into this category. <\/p>\n

Created by indie German-based developer Marco Althaus<\/a>, Boxx is a beat sequencer designed exclusive for iPad, which has a fairly sparse interface but boy does it pack a punch. Simple in its design, the app uses a grid of 144 squares to allow the user to create various different beats and sounds, building up layers of these beats to create something quite wonderful.<\/p>\n

The app at its current stage comes preloaded with a few drum and instrument samples for you to start creating your own patterns immediately. You can also save and load your patterns and change the BPM and volume settings. <\/p>\n

– settings per track
\n– note length variation
\n– ability to record songs with a flexible length
\n– online sharing of your patterns and songs
\n– more instruments
\n– ability to download additional sample sets<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
