RiffBox App Now Includes MIDI Mobilizer Support

With RiffBox you can easily create audio tracks that automatically play back over and over again (also known as audio looping). Become a one-man band, capture a musical idea or practice your beatboxing skills. By detecting repeated notes or rhythm patterns that you play or sing, RiffBox uses patented technology to automatically recognize and create perfectly timed loops. Change the loop length by timing them to notes or chords that you play. An unlimited number of layers can be added to create complex musical passages. Store your music in a loop library and e-mail loops as WAV files, or download basic rhythm loops from the web. RiffBox offers many exciting looping features and works on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

Starting with version 1.2, RiffBox can be controlled using the MIDI Mobilizer. MIDI Mobilizer is a hardware accessory from Line 6 that provides a MIDI interface to the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. With this new version of RiffBox, users can control any loop recording or playback parameter using the MIDI output from an effects pedal or MIDI controller. For example, this allows loop recording, loop playback and layer recording to be controlled with a MIDI foot pedal. RiffBox can also output MIDI percussion notes timed to the recorded loop. MIDI Mobilizer is not required for standard operation.

There are multiple ways you can create a basic loop:

Based on the number of notes or chords played
Starting after you play the same note for a second time
Recognizing rhythm patterns to determine the loop you are playing
Recognizing note sequences to determine the loop you are playing
Press a button and manual mode starts looping on the very next note
Restrict the frequency range of notes or rhythms that are recognized
Automatically create click-tracks as the basis for your loops
Download basic rhythm loops such as drum patterns from the web

(Loop length is only restricted by the available memory in your device)

Once you’ve created your loop:

Record and mix 4 additional audio layers at a time
Use the mixdown function to add an unlimited number of audio layers
Change the loop length timed to the audio ‘events’ that are part of the loop

And then you can share your genius!

Save your work in a loop library
E-mail the base loop or all loop layers as WAV files

Use the built-in microphone, the headset microphone or special buffered audio interfaces that are available here:

Note: signals from a guitar will not work very well when directly connected to the headset input and must be buffered.

Although RiffBox will work on any iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad with microphone capabilities, for the best audio performance, the following Apple products are recommended:
