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.
