Beat-making guide

Trap beat maker for fast 808-style grooves

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.

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.
