RiffBox App

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.

Features
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

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
