AcidGroovebox: beat maker

A pocket acid machine. 303-style bass, drum machine, lead, a lush pad synth and sample pads: a techno or house track in seconds, with no ads and no connection.

Tap the dice and the drums, bass, lead and pads land in key, ready to be mangled. Never touched a synth before? Turn the knobs. You'll get it in 30 seconds.
