Beatly Pro is a generative music studio for moments when you want to create but need a spark. Generate rap-inspired, lo-fi, chiptune, cinematic, and dance instrumentals, then shape them into your own tracks with hands-on arranging, editing, mixing, and export tools. Beatly Pro is not an AI music generator. It creates music on your device from curated patterns, musical rules, and controlled randomness—no prompts, cloud generation, or trained AI models. Style-aware melodies follow the harmony and develop across the arrangement, while varied instrument levels and effects give each new track its own balance and character. Whether you need quick inspiration, a backing track, or fresh material for a larger production, Beatly Pro takes you from the first generated idea to a finished track. FEATURES • Generate as many new musical ideas as you like • Create and arrange up to 8 bars of music • Build tracks across up to 7 mixer channels • Edit notes in a flexible piano roll with undo, velocity controls, copy and paste, per-beat transposition, a chord-aware keyboard lock, and reusable custom patterns • Build your own chord progressions and change the key or chord of individual beats • Regenerate one instrument part while keeping the rest of your track • Let Song Mode arrange the generated bars for you • Set the key and tempo, or let Beatly choose them • Mix every channel with volume, solo, mute, low-pass filtering, resonance, decimation, reverb, delay, and compression • Record your own samples or import WAV and AIFF audio • Import SF2 SoundFont banks • Drag and drop WAV samples and SF2 sound banks • Save and recall drum-kit presets • Import a four-beat region from a MIDI file into the piano roll, with optional transposition • Export the complete track as MIDI or create separate MIDI files for each instrument • Render a WAV mix, individual stems, or a seamless loop of the active mix • Record a live performance to WAV • Send MIDI with configurable channel assignments and drum-note mappings • Connect through Audiobus with the full audio mix and separate MIDI outputs for drums and each instrument group • Synchronize tempo and transport with Ableton Link • Save your tracks and return to them later WHO IS BEATLY PRO FOR? Beatly Pro is made for producers, composers, singers, artists, filmmakers, game developers, content creators, practicing musicians, and anyone curious about generative music. HOW DOES IT WORK? Open Beatly Pro and tap Play. The app chooses instruments, tempo, key, and musical patterns, then creates up to 8 bars—32 beats—of instrumental music. Tap Next whenever you want a different idea. Every generated track is yours to shape. Rearrange or repeat its bars, change the tempo or key, swap sounds, adjust the mix, regenerate one instrument, or open the piano roll and edit the notes yourself. Choose from five styles: Default, Lo-fi, Chiptune, Cinematic, and Dance. Default is well suited to rap-inspired beats, while every style brings its own instruments and musical character. For more control, use the chord progression builder to define the harmony, or create custom bar patterns that Beatly can use in future tracks. You can also change the key or chord of any beat, and Beatly will transpose its notes to match. When your track is ready, save it, export it as MIDI, record your performance, render a WAV mix, create stems, or export a seamless loop for use in another project. You can also connect Beatly Pro to your studio through MIDI, Audiobus, or Ableton Link. CAN I USE MY OWN SOUNDS? Yes. Record a sample inside the app, import a WAV or AIFF file, or load an SF2 SoundFont bank. Samples tuned to C will usually give you the most predictable melodic results. Enjoying Beatly Pro? A rating or review on the App Store means a great deal. You can also support future development through the optional tip jar.

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.
