Sketch drums before opening a full music project

Punchy 808 pocket with tight hats

Export WAV audio or JSON pattern data. Copy a link to share an editable snapshot.
Do I need an account?
The sequencer, presets, WAV export, JSON download, and share links work without an account.
What can I export?
Download a WAV drum loop or JSON pattern data. MIDI export is not available. JSON is not an audio file or a standard DAW project.
Does this generate a complete song?
No. This editor makes one-bar drum patterns. It does not generate melodies, vocals, or pitched 808 bass lines. AI suggestions require an available service.
Can other people edit with me live?
Share a link to an editable snapshot. Each person edits their own copy; changes are not synchronized in real time.
