How to make a beat online
- Choose a kit — Classic 808, House 909 or Lo-fi — and tap the pads to hear each drum voice.
- Paint your pattern in the step sequencer, or load a starter groove (Hip-Hop, House, Trap, Techno, Rock) and edit it.
- Dial in the tempo (60–200 BPM) and add swing until the loop grooves.
- Press play to audition, then render two bars in the export panel and download your beat.
This beat maker online is a real drum machine living in a browser tab: the 808, 909 and lo-fi kits are synthesized from scratch with the Web Audio API, so there are no samples to load and nothing to install. Sketch a drum idea on the bus, build a loop for a TikTok edit, lay a groove under a freestyle, or teach rhythm basics in class — the step grid makes patterns visible and instantly editable. Everything is free with no signup, runs offline once loaded, and exports clean audio you can drop into any DAW or video project.
FAQ
How do I make a beat online without any software?
Open the beat maker, pick a kit, and click steps in the sequencer grid to place kicks, snares, claps and hats — or start from a Hip-Hop, House, Trap, Techno or Rock pattern and tweak it. Press play to hear it loop, adjust tempo and swing, then export the result as audio.
What drum sounds are included?
Three synthesized kits: a Classic 808 with boomy kicks, a punchy House 909 and a dusty Lo-fi kit. Each kit covers eight voices — kick, snare, clap, closed hat, open hat, tom, rim and crash — and you can audition any pad with a tap.
Can I export my beat and use it in other projects?
Yes — the export panel renders two bars of your pattern with the current kit, tempo and swing, and you can download the render to loop it in a DAW, a video editor or any of the other SoundForge tools. Beats you make are yours to use.
Does the swing control change how the beat feels?
Very much — swing delays every second step, which is what separates a stiff robotic loop from a groove. Small amounts add bounce to hip-hop and house patterns; larger values push toward a shuffled, J Dilla-style feel.
