Pros and cons of technoBox2 app for iPhone and iPad

technoBox2 app good for

Thanks, now I have no reason to leave the house! Needs Audio Copy though so I can layer on guitar in an iOS DAW without syncing to desktop. Thank you for this amazing app!!!
*PLEASE ADD AUDIOBUS SUPPORT* Great app a lot of fun to play with. A little tricky but read the manual. I highly recommend this! Great realistic 303 sound.
The 303s sound amazing as close as you can get to the real thing in my opinion. However it lacks good drums and they sound very weak hopefully innewer versions this can be improved upon. Nevertheless, its a great app and easy to use.
制作者に問い合わせてわかりました。 以下返信メール転載 ーーー Weve had reports that the second generation iPod touch has trouble running technoBox2, as it only has 128 mb memory. The iPhone 3G S which we state as minimum has 256 mb. ーーー We will put a notice that it doesnt work on iPod 2nd generation. ーーー との事ですので、ご注意を。 とても素早く的確な対応でしたので星をマイナスにならない様につけておきます。 アプリに対する評価ではありません。あしからず。
最初のtechnoboxは、惜しい!って感じだったけど、ちょっと見ない間にすごく良くなってる。 TB303の音もアクセントとスライドが本物な感じでかなり来ます(笑)。 あとはWIST(Wi-FiのAd-hoc接続による同期演奏)に対応してくれれば完璧! to Developers, Pretty good 303 acc and slide sound. very groovicious. I hope add WIST function for run with sync.
I want you to correspond to the iPhone6Plus of resolution. Basically very good.

Some bad moments

Not bad going!!! The technobox 1 is still the best!!! Sad, sad,sad!!!
I downloaded technobox and upon launching is was immediately asked if I wanted to upgrade to technobox 2 for an addition five dollars. The normal procedure when a company updates an app is to discontinue the first one, and make it unavailable. They seem to be preying on the confusion sown by having two almost identical apps, so if you make the mistake of downloading the first one, you end up paying seven dollars total to get the functionality of the current version. Really low. Plus its very confusing and hard to use. Just make one app please and make it five dollars.
This app sounds great, plain and simple, if you want a 303, it doesnt get any better than this. This app is from the same company that makes the "ABL2" renowned 303 emulator. So you dont need to worry about the sound, it is like you used a shrink ray on a 303 and uploaded it to your iOS device :) @4.99, get it! It is a killer app!
This is almost what rebirth would be if propellerhead supported rebirth! The only drawbacks so far....no panning at all from what I see and for some reason, the developers think the 303 note entry method is efficient - yuck! Love the 303 sound but the entry is torture.
If you wanted to use rebirth but found the price to be a little off putting then I would give this app a try. The interface is very well put together the sounds are accurate and I found the price to be great for what you get. The only thing that would be needed to propel this app into the masses and get a higher rating(5stars)would be if the developer could add audio copy. That way I could take riffs made here and send them into another app to make a full song. Right now you can make full songs in this app and the song arranger is very easy to use. The downside is that the last great album to use "rebirth" was probably daft punks homework in 99. JK,but I would like to use this with all the other great synth apps so please consider audio copy to pasteboard or other standard. Dont be fooled by the name here folks. This is not one of those cheap "box" throw away apps that are made in ten minutes and then abandoned. This is a real deal rebirth machine. It will do the trick. (I do not work for the developer,as many who think that any good review must be tied to the product,I am not. I am a user)
Kool n fun.... Only thing to take it to another level is panning.....right now everything is in the middle of the stereo spectrum....would be cool to place one synth on the left and another on the right ....panning the hi hats to the right,etc......
