Making music and crafting beats isn’t as hard as it once was. Technology has changed everything, including the way music is made. Today we get a look at a unique device that is meant as a cost-effective first step in making music. We’ve seen plenty of drum machines and several affordable midi controllers. However, we’ve seen nothing quite like this. The Rhythmo BeatBox is a DIY drum machine that serves as a unique entry into the game.
The Rhythmo BeatBox uses a cardboard box as a platform, leaving its owner to assemble it. The device can be built and functioning in under an hour, using a number of arcade buttons, knobs, and a joystick for control. A companion app handles the sound processing, and it also can serve as a standard MIDI controller.
The device is a minimal approach to making music, though its certainly a creative one. Users have a selection of options, offering plenty of depth for creating something unique. For anyone looking for an interesting way to cook up some beats, this is certainly worth your time and effort.
The Rhythmo BeatBox also boasts built-in speakers and a headphone jack, letting you heard your work however you choose. Take a look at the device in the image up top and learn more about it from Rhythmo’s website right now.
