You can combine and rearrange these bars arbitrarily and edit them in piano roll. Tempo is chosen automatically, however it can be simply changed as well as key. All notes are picked by the algorithm. Currently you can choose from default rap, lo-fi, chiptune, cinematic or dance styles. Each of these styles brings unique music experience. You can also activate chord progression builder to define exactly what chords will Beatly use in the generated bars or create your own bar patterns which will be consequently used by the algorithm when building a new track. To modify already generated chord progression in the track you can change key/base chord of each beat within a bar. All notes of given beat will be transposed appropriately. Run app, tap the play button. It is that simple. Music will be different each time you hit the reload button. Once you're done editing the tune, simply save it for later, export to MIDI or record your live session to WAV audio file. You can even render separated stems or seamless loop of your entire track. You can also hook up Beatly with your favorite mixer using MIDI output. Drums too loud? Adjust the volume. Synth annoying? Mute it or try other built-in sounds. Loving the sound of piano? Solo it and make it shine. Mixer got your back! Need variation? Reload any instrument part of your track. Generated part not to your liking? Leverage the piano roll to fix algorithm's mistakes and make it awesome! Can I import my own samples? Yes! You can attach or record your very own WAV or M4A sound to any instrument track. Just bear in mind, samples tuned in C will sound best! :) If you like Beatly Pro, please, support us by rating this app in the App Store or donating via in-app purchase.

The Ultimate Urban Drum Rompler If you've always wanted to make the phattest urban beats with incredible hard-hitting drum sounds, but never spent the years being a beat chopper or crate digger, then this library is for you. It takes years to properly learn how to chop samples, rip breakbeats, create the right "swing", and run it all through the expensive hardware to get those perfect drums. This library does all of this for you. And for the experienced producer, you have access to advanced features like importing your own drums with MIDI and running them through our synthesis and incredible effects. Route pads to separate audio outs, use your own plugin FX inside the app, and get full access to synthesizer type programming to make for the ultimate urban drum rompler! Highlights: - 10,000 Combined Drum Sounds - 750 Beat Chops & Kits with MIDI - Load/Save your Own Samples - Host your own Plugin Effects - Insert FX, Global & Master Buss - Full Synthesis for Pads 1-12 - Route Pads to Individual Outs - Dedicated "Slug" Knob - Swing Groove Templates Factory Preset Style The factory presets come with Kits, Full Loops, and Chops from the Loops all in the style of Boom-Bap, Lo-Fi, Hip-Hop Soul, Vinyl and Chill-Hop. Similar to these artists: The Roots, J Dilla, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, and the Wu-Tang, etc.. Use Chops for Drums Any beat maker knows that loop chops represent the phatest sound. So along with the chops on each pad, you can tweak the chopped drums in order to create your own kits from the chops. Sampled from Hardware No drum sounds will ever sound good if they are not sampled from the correct hardware. We use all of the industry standard and our own secret gems in order to produce the hardest hitting drums. Secret Weapon Features: - Alias Name and Tagging for Drum Sounds - Route Drum Sounds to Separate Outputs - Load Your Own Plugins into FX Slots - Ability to Export MIDI Patterns - Save Presets with MIDI Data Embeded - Dedicated Knob to Lay Behind the Beat - Use Chops as Drum Sounds - 5-Insert FX Per Pad 1-12 Route Audio Outputs to any Channel Our app gives you the ability to route any drum pad sound to any output on your multi-channel audio device. This is paramount for mixing drums and separating them out for more flexibility when editing and mastering. Stacking and Layering With 36-pads, you can even stack and layer different drum sounds, which is a very popular producer trick. Simply assign the same MIDI Note to multiple sounds and stack as many drums as you want with one hit. This is how producers get those "out of this world" phat drum sounds. Amazing Effects In partnership with Overloud™, we have the full version of the famous Vintage Keyboard FX Suite of effects readily available. We also have licensed a ton of other high quality effects, all with very lush, warm, and vintage sounds. Each pad 1-12 can have up to 5 insert effects per pad, along with global and master busses. Every knob/fader can be MIDI learned, so you can adjust effects in real-time with a controller. Run the entire beat through a crazy reverb or phaser to instantly change the entire "feel" of the beat or drum sound. Our FX arsenal is so vast that you will spend months just exploring all of the possibilities.
