Playbeat 4 is a revolutionary AI-Powered drum designer.
Playbeat 4 features new, cutting-edge algorithms and revolutionary genre-based pattern generation, allowing for endless new patterns, sounds, and grooves.
No two beats will ever be the same, offering an entirely fresh and dynamic experience every time you create.
Playbeat ensures that the generated patterns are usable, musical, and fresh, providing you with unmatched precision and control.
Whether you’re creating drum patterns, feeding modules with MIDI, or generating endless remixes on the fly.
Our new genre-based randomization feature lets you select your preferred music styles and generate patterns tailored to those choices.
You have full control over the complexity of the beat and can specify whether you need complete drum tracks, individual sounds, or patterns only.
Unlike other groove creators that are limited to one specific algorithm, Playbeat innovates by using advanced local A.I. algorithms to create or remix completely original grooves that never repeat and always sound great!
With up to eight totally independent sequencers which can combine Real-Time Pitch Shifting including scales and tunings, our signature Density feature, Track delay, Volume, Pan and more, Playbeat can create or remix infinite combinations of patterns in the most creative way. Load up any audio file, edit or randomize the values and samples instantly. Let Playbeat take over and let it perform for you using our signature Infinity mode. There is no limitations on what comes out!
With Playbeat’s totally new algorithms you now have the option to create unlimited remixes of patterns based on your current pattern to fit your entire song.
Edit your samples on the spot, and generate a new, fresh set of Remix patterns again and again.. and again. Our highly acclaimed multi-functional keyboard allows you to trigger individual sounds, pattern sequences, or full drum grooves with ease.
The new sample management and Preset management system allows you to add any folder from your device, browse any sample and quickly drag and drop any sample to the Sequencers & Sample Slots to create your Kits. Each Preset can be Previewed, categorized by Genre, or even swap Samples & Groove Patterns from different presets.
You have the option to create your own personalized packs, all with your own Artwork, Name, Description and tagging, which you can export and share with another user on iPad or Desktop.
