Wanna turn your iPhone into a drum machine? BeatPhone a native 3rd party beatbox application for the iPhone currently in an early stage of development. It is a fun app with features such as 9 one-shot pads, 3 loop-pads, Samples in “any” format : WAV, AIFF etc, Output at 44.1kHz, 16-bits, Up to 256 samples polyphony. Or you can just use it to impress your friends with this iPhone DJ app. The UI is pretty ugly at the moment, but the audio core works. The code will be released soon on a Google Code project.

Here is a video demo using the older user interface:

Use iPhone mods and hacks at your own risk! Installing 3rd Party iPhone apps requires you to jailbreak the iPhone before installing the native software and apps. You can use Installer.app for Mac OSX and iBrickr for Windows PC to do this. Browse the full list of all iPhone and iPod touch native 3rd party apps filed under the software category.

15. I’ve got the same problem – it can’t locate samples – I have 1.1.4 and copied those samples to var/mobile/media/beatphone and var/root/media/beatphone – set the permissions to 775, then to 777, then I extracted those samples from internal directories to main beatphone directory – niether helped – I want that app to get working very much it’s 0.2.6 version (37,9 MB) please help me

    send any suggestions to mefisto_DeL_grande@yahoo.com

16. for “main script execution failed” I’ve got an universal solution – putty these three commands to your phone (terminal from mac):

    chmod -R 777 /Applications/*

    chmod +s /Applications/Installer.app/Installer

    chown -R root:wheel /Applications/Installer.app

    Posted on May 9th, 2008 at 4:35 pm by mefisto

17. chmod -R 777 /Applications/*
    chmod +s /Applications/Installer.app/Installer

    chown -R root:wheel /Applications/Installer.app

    Posted on May 9th, 2008 at 4:36 pm by mefisto

18. chown -R root:wheel /Applications/Installer.app

    Posted on May 9th, 2008 at 4:36 pm by mefisto

19. sorry for mess-it did not type well first command starts with chmod and ends with * second with: chmod…installer and third with: chown…installer.app
