Love Funkbox. New features and new kits are

Does everyone know about the ability to run 2 different Patterns with 2 distinct Boxes (kits) simultaneously? (this simple feature instantly doubled my Funkbox pleasure)

Sounds interesting. Needs a video to show how it might be valuable. Hint, hint.

What? How? Cool! I can't find out how this works lol

1: hit a Pattern button, select Box and create a sequence (as usual)

2: hit another Pattern button and do the same (different Box + different sequence)

3: hit both Pattern buttons and the same time and Voila: multi-machine satisfaction.

Note: make sure the 'Box Lock' switch on each respective Pattern is Not on.

Go Forth! and multiply your drums

I thought that's how it did pattern chaining? Haven't tried this yet and sounds like a fun feature but I hope layering didn't replace chaining.

From the manual

Just like the old drum boxes, you can press multiple pattern buttons at the same time. In regular queue mode (pattern queue switch off), this will cause two patterns to play at the same time, much like you could do with older drum boxes by jamming a couple buttons together at once. The primary pattern (first button pressed) will play and set the tempo, the secondary pattern (last button pressed) will fill in if the primary pattern isn't playing anything. If the two patterns are set to use different drum boxes, it will allow both to play their own drum box sounds, so two different boxes at once, allowing you to get some more complex sound patterns going.
In pattern queue mode (pattern queue switch is on), pressing multiple buttons allows you to queue up multiple patterns to be played one after the other. Try this by pressing the FUNK-1 button and keeping it held down while you press the DISCO-3 button, then releasing them. FunkBox will play FUNK-1, then FUNK-2, then FUNK-3, through to DISCO-3, then start over again at FUNK-1. This allows you to get much longer pattern sequences running by chaining them together.

Looks like fun!
Would someone kindly tell me how big the app is once installed with all the drum sets?

Proppa

@syrupcore as noted correctly above the simultaneous patterns "trick" works with the 'Pattern Queue' switch Off. When Pattern Queue is On chaining still works as it has.

@psychicmonkey FB is showing here as 58.1meg

Thank you Proppa for taking time to check installed size (^o^).
Good to know FB doesn't bloat up from its download size (56.5MB) (^^;;

I never got this. Proof perhaps that I wasn't much of a drum machine owner back in the day. Kept staring at the thing and trying to figure out how to get a chain going (must be here somewhere) but couldn't get my linear head around it. Thanks so much.

Ohmywonderful. Thanks for digging this out. I've had old drum machines that work both ways. Those push button jobbies with no programming often found on 60s/70s organs would allow you to rock out with a samba and fox trot at the same time, for instance. And the Roland TR-707 does pattern chaining exactly like FB's queue mode. Love his attention to/appreciation of these things.

I never got it either! And use funkbox all the time, that switch had been in front of me for years...
