AmenBeats vs Brusmaskin

AmenBeats is a real drum machine built for kids — with a full studio hiding behind a grown-up gate. KID MODE: ONE SCREEN, BIG BUTTONS A focused instrument with big controls and a row of picture buttons for choosing beats. Open it and the row spins like a slot machine and lands on a groove, ready to play. Kids can: • Pick from playful beats — Boom Bap, Rock, Disco, Marchin', Shuffle, Techno, Reggae, Waltz — and eight legendary breaks • Tap the grid to add and remove drum hits, on a 4, 8, 12, or 16-step canvas • Bash the four drums live — Open Hat, Closed Hat, Snare, Kick — right from the grid • Flip power switches: SWING for groove, WILD to loosen it up, FILL! for a snare roll, DROP! to cut the beat out and slam it back • Speed up and slow down with big plus and minus buttons • Spin the wheel any time for a surprise beat SAVE A BEAT. SAVE THE WHOLE SHOW. Everything a kid plays is quietly recorded — the beat, the tempo changes, every live tap. One button saves the entire performance, however long it ran, and one tap plays it back exactly as it happened. Their beats and shows sit in their own list, ready to hear again. GROWN-UPS SET THE RULES Kid Setup tailors the app to each child: • Choose exactly which beats and famous breaks they can reach • Set the tempo range they can dial between • Cap the volume • Turn on mute and solo for older kids learning how a kit fits together • Set up more than one child, each with their own beats, limits, and saved work Kid Mode stays put. A six-digit parent PIN protects access to the studio. Set up your PIN before the first Kid session and save your private recovery code. Tap the lock to unlock; hold it for help. Your PIN and recovery code stay on that device. THE GROWN-UP STUDIO Behind the gate is a proper 16-step, 4-voice sequencer: • Eight study templates of the most sampled breaks ever recorded: the Amen break, the Funky Drummer, Apache, Think, Impeach, When the Levee Breaks, Cold Sweat, and the Big Beat • Tap any step through on, stomp (accent), and ghost — stomps add punch, ghost notes add the feel that makes a break breathe • Tempo from 40 to 220 BPM, swing, and per-voice mute and solo • Humanize and per-voice lay-back for a relaxed, human pocket • Save your grooves and chain them into a looping song, each pattern held for as many bars as you like MIDI AND ABLETON, SET UP BY A GROWN-UP The studio talks to real gear, and every bit of it is configured on the parent side — never in the child's reach: • Send MIDI on GM channel 10 so your pattern drives a drum rack in Ableton Live or any DAW • Export any pattern as a Standard MIDI clip and drag it straight into a session • Import a .mid clip back onto the grid • Sync tempo with Live and other Link-enabled apps over Ableton Link SAFE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. No ads. No in-app purchases. No analytics, no tracking, and no servers — AmenBeats collects nothing, and everything a child makes stays on the device. Every drum sound is synthesized as the app runs, so nothing is ever downloaded and the app stays tiny. It plays through the speaker even with the ring switch set to silent. Free.

Brusmaskin is a pocket groovebox — an 8-track synthesizer, sampler and sequencer for making complete tracks wherever you are. SEVEN SOUND ENGINES FM synthesis with a subtractive filter stage, a raw mono synth with drive and wavefolding, a lush 7-voice supersaw, a dedicated drum synth with FM percussion, filtered noise and attack transients, a plucked string (Karplus–Strong) with a pick that changes every note, and GRAIN — a granular engine that plays any sample as a cloud. Plus a sampler with stereo samples, slicing, key-mapped chopping, non-destructive trim and a start offset for ghost notes. The same audio plays both ways — sampler or cloud — with zero copies. RESAMPLE YOURSELF Capture any track with one button — it keeps playing while the recording runs through its own private effects, so the take carries the filter, the drive and the track's own reverb and delay tail, in stereo. Then listen and choose what it becomes: a sample, a grain cloud sliced on the hits, or a playable kit where each note is one hit. Or record from the microphone, or GRAB the last 30 seconds of the master — the take you just played but forgot to record is still there. DEEP MODULATION Three envelopes and three LFOs per sound, each with three freely routable destinations — and every target lives on every engine. Vibrato on a sample, a moving noise filter on a drum, an LFO that rechops a break on every note, an envelope that scrubs a grain cloud through a field recording. HOLD, CURVE and END floors turn envelopes into drones. DEEP STEP SEQUENCING Per-step trig conditions, probability, ratchets with pitch rolls, swing, and patterns up to 128 steps with independent speed and length. An arpeggiator with chord pools, inversions and free-run mode. Sound locks put a different sound on any step, and per-step parameter offsets shape your sounds over time. SONGS, NOT JUST LOOPS Chain patterns into parts, phrases and full songs. Perform live in the performance view, mix with per-track faders, and glue everything together with chorus, delay and a rich plate reverb. Sidechain ducking built in. HANDS ON MIDI learn maps any knob, fader or button on your controller to sounds, mixer faders, mutes and solos — with soft takeover so nothing jumps. 576 factory presets cover every engine, and an INIT patch per engine gives you a clean starting point when you want to build from scratch. YOURS Projects and sample banks are stored in iCloud Drive as plain files you can see and back up. Scale-aware note entry, a built-in browser of vintage drum machine sample packs, and video import that pulls the audio straight out of a screen recording. No account, no subscription, and everything works completely offline.
