Arrange your loop

4 bars

Arrange up to 16 bars using your pattern slots. Each letter plays one full bar.

Example: A A B A · 1–16 bars
CREATIVE FLOW

From first kick to finished loop.

01

Program your drums

Turn on steps to build a rhythm. Set precise MIDI velocity (0–127), rotate your pattern, or humanize its existing hits.

02

Shape your groove

Adjust tempo, swing, drum-kit character, track levels, and pattern variations A–D.

03

Arrange and export

Sequence patterns into a song, then download a stereo WAV, individual drum stem or MIDI file.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real drum samples?

The drum library uses generated synthesizer sounds rather than recordings. This allows royalty-free local playback with no sample downloads, while tonal characteristics vary by kit.

Can I use my beat on YouTube?

The built-in drum synthesizer produces original, programmatically generated waveforms. You can export them for your creations; check any separately imported material's rights if the tool is expanded later.

Does it work offline?

Once the app assets have been loaded or saved, the editor does not need an audio service, login or external model. Browser offline access depends on how the site is hosted.

What does MIDI export contain?

It exports standard MIDI percussion note events, tempo and velocity on channel 10. Sound depends on the application you open the MIDI in and may differ from PixelOkay's synthesized kit.

Program a 4/4 drum beat in a step sequencer

Choose a synthesized kit, place drum hits on a 16- or 32-step pattern, shape velocity and swing, then arrange bars into a beat. Audition the result before exporting a stereo WAV mix/stems or percussion MIDI.

Example workflow

  1. Select a kit and one of the patterns, then place kick, snare and hat steps.
  2. Adjust step velocities, swing and tempo, and arrange the patterns into bars.
  3. Play the arrangement, revise the groove, then export WAV mix/stems, MIDI or project JSON.

Authored example: Program a simple kick-and-snare backbeat with hats on the offbeats. Lower a few hat velocities, add modest swing and export both a WAV mix and percussion MIDI for comparison.

Limits and privacy: Patterns stay in 4/4 with 16 or 32 subdivisions. Tempo is 40–240 BPM; an arrangement is limited to 16 bars and 90 seconds plus its tail. Drum voices are synthesized, not recorded drum samples. MIDI uses percussion channel 10, and another instrument may sound different. Browser draft storage is best effort; download JSON for a backup.
