Overview

Beat Maker: build a drum groove in seconds

A step sequencer is the beating heart of electronic music, and this one lets you build a drum pattern by tapping cells on a grid. Each row is an instrument — kick, snare, hi-hat, open hat, clap, tom, rim and cowbell — and each column is a step in the bar. Switch cells on, press play, and the pattern loops. Start from a preset like four-on-the-floor or boom bap, hit Random for inspiration, or build from an empty grid.

Beyond the basics you get a proper mixer: per-track volume and mute, a master level, and a swing control that delays every off-beat sixteenth for that classic shuffle feel. All eight drum sounds are synthesized live with the Web Audio API — no samples to download — and you can render your pattern offline and download it as a real WAV file.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the drum sounds come from?
They're synthesized in real time with the Web Audio API — oscillators sweeping in pitch for the kick and toms, filtered noise for the snare, hats and clap. No audio files are loaded.
What does the swing control do?
It delays every second sixteenth-note slightly, turning a straight, mechanical pattern into a shuffled groove. Small amounts (10–30%) add a human feel; higher values give a pronounced swing.
Can I save my beat?
Yes. Download WAV renders two bars of your pattern offline at CD quality and saves it as a standard .wav file you can use anywhere.
Is anything uploaded?
No. All sound is generated and rendered in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
