Start with your hands
Tap a pad, use your computer keyboard or connect a Web MIDI controller. Start with Classic, Analog 808, House 909 or Lo-fi, then drag sounds onto pads to make the kit your own. Switch between up to eight banks without stopping the beat, or try Piano and Hex layouts to play one sample across different pitches.
Give the beat a shape
Paint steps into a pattern, set each hit's velocity and add swing. Go further with ratchets, probability, per-lane lengths and triplets against straight rhythms. Chain patterns into a song, with each pattern carrying its own tempo and time signature.
Bring your own sounds
Import an audio file or record from your microphone. Trim the waveform, change its pitch, reverse it, shape its envelope and filter it. Chop a sample into slices and send them to consecutive pads or a bank of their own.
Keep the performance
Record a live pad loop against the metronome, with optional count-in and quantization. Export loops as MIDI or WAV, render a sequence as WAV, or save the whole setup as a portable kit with your imported sounds included. Kits and recordings stay on your device; publishing a kit explicitly uploads it.
