Whether you're sampling drums, vocals, instruments, sound effects, or anything around you, Beat Pad gives you a fast and creative way to turn audio into something you can actually play. PLAY 15 DIFFERENT SAMPLES Create your own sample kit by assigning a different sound to each of the 15 pads. Record directly from the microphone or import audio files from your device or iCloud Drive, then trigger your samples instantly for live performance, finger drumming, beat making, or experimentation. OR TURN ONE SAMPLE INTO AN INSTRUMENT Load a single sample and automatically spread it across all 15 pads. Choose between: • Chromatic scale • Major scale • Minor scale • Your preferred root key Record a voice, synth note, guitar sound, piano hit, bass tone, or any other sample and turn it into a playable melodic instrument in seconds.
