ABOUT DOGGIEBOX
Zygoat Doggiebox is a versatile percussion sequencer (drum machine
application) for Mac OS X. Using Doggiebox, you can create realistic-
sounding drum tracks in moments, ranging from the style of a human
drummer to imaginatively bizarre experimental pieces. Whether you want
to produce a demo without taking the time to set up real drums or just
need a click track for recording guitar, Doggiebox is the perfect tool
to fill the gap. With Doggiebox, you can:
- Create and modify drum tracks of unlimited length and easily edit
intricate rhythms using a flexible yet intuitive interface
- Define, arrange and re-use song sections (such as verses and choruses)
by dragging and dropping in a scrolling list, for efficient song building
- Specify tempo and time signature changes, including compound time,
over arbitrary bars in a song
- Create and use your own drum kits, including their actual sounds and
icons, and change between different drum kits while working on a song
- Play songs through the speakers, to any MIDI-capable device or
application, or export them to any of a dozen formats for use in other
audio applications like GarageBand or ProTools
Included with the Doggiebox distribution is a full user's guide, and
additional resources (including an online library of drum kits and song
files) are available on the Doggiebox web site at <http://
www.doggiebox.com>. Users are encouraged to join the e-mail discussion
list to connect with other users and stay updated on news and subsequent
releases.
Doggiebox is aimed at amateur and serious musicians, home recording and
studio folk alike, and requires Mac OS 10.4 or newer.
