Load Lo-Fi and keep the tempo comfortable.

Remove crash or open-hat hits if they distract from the loop.

Export the drums and add chords or ambient sounds in another music tool.

Frequently asked questions

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.
