"Doggiebox has been designed for home-recording and studio musicians of all stripes. Whether you want to quickly produce a demo, or work out an intricate backing track as you develop a song, Doggiebox is the friendly and versatile tool to fill that gap! All sounds are fully customizable (you can record your own), and pieces of unlimited length can be edited in any number of tempos and time signatures. When a song is ready, you can export it to one of a dozen file formats (including AIFF and WAV) for use in other audio programs, or play back in realtime to a MIDI device. "
