Doggiebox Publisher Description

Doggiebox is a versatile drum machine that empowers you to create and manipulate percussion-based songs. With Doggiebox, you can create drum tracks in minutes, ranging from the realism of a human drummer on a full kit to imaginitively bizarre experimental pieces.Doggiebox is currently in a preliminary development phase, our goal is to produce a tool for home-recording musicians and hobbyists that complements a human drummer for a variety of situations. Whether you want to quickly produce a demo without taking the time to set up and record real drums, or just need a click track for recording guitar, or if you have grand aspirations but don't own a drum kit, Doggiebox is the friendly and versatile tool to fill the gap.
OS: PPC
Requirements: Mac OS 10.3.9 or later.
Whats new:
Version 1.3.1:
New features and improvements:


Velocity adjustment is now possible on a beat-by-beat basis. Right- or Control-clicking on a drum in the pattern editor will pop up an adjustment slider. Velocities will be preserved (but ignored) in older versions of Doggiebox.
Editing operations can now be performed on a beat-subdivision granularity, in addition to whole bars as before. Cut and Paste behaviour is dependent on the context; e.g., when working with beats, drums can be moved while the song structure remains unaffected.
A new floating inspector window provides control over time signature and tempo, default velocity, etc.
New commands Insert Bar, Insert Beat and Delete Beat(s)/Bar(s).
Changing time signature now preserves a bar's structure; e.g., in a 3|4 bar containing 3 quarter notes, changing to 4|4 will cause the notes to become triplets over 4 beats.
Zooming is now adjustable for individual bars, and is persistent.
Playback tempo is now adjustable in real time according to inbound MIDI Clock events.
If a drum kit currently in use by an open song is modified, an alert sheet will be presented allowing you to immediately re-load the drum kit in the song to reflect any changes.
New sections are now created containing a new empty bar.
Cosmetic improvements have been made to the song window, including the ability to adjust widths of the Sections List and Playlist.
Visual consistency in the pattern editor has been improved (e.g. 12|8 bars now appear like 4|4 bars at the same zoom).
Added support for exporting to Apple CoreAudio File (CAF) and SoundDesigner II format.
Icon handling in the drum kit editor has been improved to use the image's native file format to preserve quality.
Values for MIDI properties (channel, note, velocity) in the kit editor can now be entered manually.


Bug fixes and miscellaneous:


Export Audio now properly exports only the selection (as opposed to the whole song), if there is one.
After changing drum kits, the pattern editor will now properly refresh with the new kit icons and key shortcuts.
Two variants of the same drum type but with different key shortcuts can now be selected immediately one after another.
Various other bug fixes.
There is a new Preferences option "Create backward-compatible files". If enabled (default), songs will be openable in Doggiebox 1.1-1.2. Otherwise, Doggiebox 1.3 or newer will be required, but files will be smaller.
Re-organized the Edit and Song menus; some key shortcuts have been re-assigned.
Mac OS 10.3.9 (or later) is now required.
