How to use Beat Sequencer

  1. Choose a tempo and a one- or two-bar pattern. Load a groove as a starting point or turn on individual kick, snare, and other drum steps.
  2. Play the pattern while editing. Adjust each drum’s level and add swing if the beat feels too rigid. For a two-bar pattern, copy the first bar and change a few hits to make a variation.
  3. Export the loop as a stereo WAV and set your DAW project to the same BPM when arranging it.

Frequently asked questions

What does swing change?

Swing delays every other sixteenth-note step to give the beat a lilt. Keep it at 50% for evenly spaced steps and raise it for a more pronounced shuffle.

Can I use a different drum sample?

The sequencer uses a built-in drum kit. Export the pattern and add or layer other sounds in your DAW.

What does the export contain?

The tool renders the current pattern as a stereo, 48 kHz, 32-bit float WAV. A two-bar pattern includes both bars. The current editable pattern is saved in your browser.
