trap beat maker

Trap Beat Maker

Start with a 140 BPM trap drum pattern and shape the kick, backbeat, and hat density. This is a drum sketchpad, with straight sixteenth-note steps rather than a pitched 808 bass editor.

lofi beat maker

Lo-Fi Beat Maker

Start with an 80 BPM Lo-Fi pattern and leave room between drum hits. Build a quieter rhythmic foundation before adding chords or melodies elsewhere.

house beat maker

House Beat Maker

Start with a 124 BPM House pattern. The kick lands on all four beats, with claps and hats adding movement around the steady pulse.

hip hop beat maker

Hip Hop Beat Maker

Start with the Boom Bap pattern at 92 BPM and build a drum foundation for rap or sample-based writing. Keep the backbeat clear and use the kick to create movement.

drill beat maker

Drill Beat Maker

Sketch a drill-inspired drum rhythm with the shared step sequencer. Start from the Trap pattern and adjust snare spacing and hat density; pitched bass slides are outside this editor.

boom bap beat maker

Boom Bap Beat Maker

Start with a 92 BPM Boom Bap drum loop and shape a head-nod backbeat. Edit the kick around the snare while leaving space for samples or vocals.

phonk beat maker

Phonk Beat Maker

Draft a hard-hitting drum foundation for a phonk idea. Use the shared drum kit to test the rhythm before adding cowbell melodies or bass in another tool.

techno beat maker

Techno Beat Maker

Draft a repeating techno drum groove with the shared sequencer. Start with the House pattern and change its tempo and percussion to fit your idea.

808 beat maker

808 Drum Beat Maker with WAV Export

Sketch a trap-style drum loop with editable kick, snare, and hat steps. This tool makes drum patterns; it does not synthesize pitched 808 bass notes or slides.
