Doggiebox is a versatile drum machine application for Mac OS X that empowers you to create and manipulate percussion-based songs. Four months following the last release, it's about time for a new version!

New features in the drum kit editor:

- Support for dragging and dropping sound files to and from the Finder, as well as saving to disk in any chosen format. - Volume slider control for adjusting the nominal level for each drum sound. - Support for dragging and dropping drum images to and from the Finder, or directly from graphics applications, as well as copy/paste using the clipboard, and saving to disk in TIFF format.

Improvements to the song editor:

- Fixed a bug where some Undo functions would not work in a newly created song. - Fixed a bug where importing or exporting sounds would fail when the filename contained non-standard characters. - Fixed a bug where it was impossible to delete the first section marker in the list. - Added a collapse-to-mono toggle button. - Improved responsiveness of user interface and position indicator after stopping playback. - Improved the alert messages when a drum kit is missing or unavailable -- no longer says "Cannot find '(null)'".
