Bring classic Casio-style fill-ins into your practice session. - Classic Drum Loops: Lock into distinct chiptune drum patterns and rhythm variations instead of a plain click. - 8 Time Signatures: Move beyond basic 4/4 time! Easily switch between 8 different time signatures to practice complex meters and unusual grooves. - Full-Screen Color Pulse: The screen changes color on every beat, giving you high-contrast visual timing cues in your peripheral vision while playing. - Precision Tempo Control: Set your BPM from 40 to 240 using quick-adjust buttons (+1, -1, +5, -5, +10, -10). - Smart Tap Tempo: Match the beat of any song or rhythm using responsive tap-tempo detection. - Auto-Save: Automatically saves your last BPM and drum beat settings so you can jump straight back into practice next time. Built for musicians who want more than just a ticking sound to keep time, BitBeat pairs precise audio/visual tempo cues with nostalgic drum machine charm. Set your tempo, play some fills, and bring your practice to life!

Clockworks turns rhythm into geometry. Build polyrhythms by layering rotating shapes on a clockface — each shape's sides become evenly-spaced beats, so a triangle and a pentagon played together weave intricate cross-rhythms with zero math. • Layer multiple shapes, each its own voice • 10 instruments — sampled piano, e-piano, guitars, plus synth keys, organ, marimba, vibes and more • Built-in drum kits with a step sequencer • Dozens of scales across many categories for instant melodic results • Scene-based arrangement to evolve your loop over time • Pro FX: 3-band EQ and BPM-synced echo • Export to MIDI, audio (WAV), or sheet music PDF No theory required — just add shapes and listen.
