Reviews
Students love creating beats in this online interface. Rhythms can be exported as MIDI, then imported into any other app or software.
Free tool for creating beats. Users layer rhythms, bass lines and melodies. Rich-sounding audio. Great for teaching musical texture. Students use this tool for exploring combinations and layers of melodies, harmonies and rhythmic riffs. Students can easily creating backing tracks for songs, raps, and other speech pieces. Hours of fun!
