LoopBeat โ€” A professional drum machine in your pocket, putting a pro drummer at every performance. Whether you're a street performer, club singer, band vocalist, songwriter, or producer, LoopBeat delivers a complete pro rhythm solution that's always ready. Studio-quality drum sounds, seamless section switching, real-time tempo changes, a Bluetooth pedal, and jam pads give you stable, vivid, inspiring rhythms for any occasion. WHY LOOPBEAT โ€ข Studio-grade real drum sounds Multiple complete kits cover pop, rock, punk, R&B, reggae, folk, and djembe. Every instrument is sampled with velocity layers โ€” light strokes and hard hits produce real tonal variation, far beyond a flat electronic drum machine. โ€ข Huge song library, ready to play Each style includes multiple preset songs with complete structures: Intro, Loops 1-4, Fills, Variation, End Fill. Tap any section to switch seamlessly โ€” intro to chorus, verse to outro, smooth and effortless. The music never stops. โ€ข Real-time tempo & time-signature change Change tempo and time signature during playback: 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8 switch freely with natural transitions โ€” no interruption, no glitch. Adjust to any BPM and the drums stay rock-solid like a pro drummer. โ€ข Powerful section MIDI editing A pro piano-roll editor lets you edit every section note by note: add, delete, drag notes, adjust velocity and duration, copy and paste, and build your own patterns. Fully touch-optimized on iPhone and iPad. Import external MIDI files as LoopBeat sections. โ€ข 5-band EQ + plate reverb A high-precision Biquad EQ with five independent bands sculpts your drum tone. The classic Dattorro plate reverb creates realistic space, with reverb time, pre-delay, and dry/wet adjustable in real time โ€” from small club to stadium. โ€ข Bluetooth pedal, hands-free control Connect a Bluetooth MIDI pedal and control everything with your feet: switch sections, trigger fills, start or stop. Everything is under your foot on stage. โ€ข Jam pads for spontaneous playing Multi-touch drum pads with jam mode: tap to trigger real drums, with mute pads, lock, and editing. Solo over backing tracks or add subtle percussion to quiet songs. โ€ข Sampler for unlimited expansion Import high-quality FLAC samples and build your own kits. Transfer files at high speed over Wi-Fi via the desktop Manager tool (Mac/Windows). BORN FOR TOUCH, BUILT FOR STAGE Deeply optimized for iPhone and iPad: one-handed core controls on the phone, adaptive layouts on iPad. Real-time beat progress stays clear even in stage lighting. TYPICAL USE CASES Street gigs and club shows with pedal control โ€ข band rehearsal with quick style and tempo switching โ€ข songwriting with pro drum backing โ€ข djembe and percussion practice โ€ข music education with visualized song structures 30-DAY FREE TRIAL, ONE-TAP UNLOCK Download and enjoy 30 days of full features: every style library, section editing, EQ and reverb, Bluetooth pedal, and jam pads.
