Drum Machine

Create drum patterns with a step sequencer. Click cells to toggle beats, use the pads for live play, and adjust BPM and swing.

How to Use

Click any cell in the grid to toggle a beat on or off. Press Play (or Space) to hear your pattern loop. Each row is a different instrument; click the instrument name on the left to preview its sound.

Controls

• BPM: tempo in beats per minute (40-300)
• Swing: shifts every other step forward for a shuffle feel (0-80%)
• Steps: pattern length: 8, 16, or 32 steps
• Kit: switch between Classic 808, Acoustic, and Electronic drum sounds

Live Pads & Keyboard

Use the pads below the grid to play drums live, or use your keyboard:

• A Kick, S Snare, D Hi-Hat, F Open HH
• G Clap, H Tom, J Rim, K Cowbell
• Space Play / Pause

Presets

Load a preset pattern (Rock, Disco, Hip Hop, Bossa Nova) as a starting point, then customize it to make it your own.
