Beat Pad Sampler - Music Live
Melodic sound groovebox
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Beat Pad is the #1 music sampler for iPhone and iPad. Record a sound with the microphone or import an audio file, then play it across 15 responsive pads — as individual samples or transformed into a chromatic, major, or minor scale.
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.
RECORD OR IMPORT ANY SOUND
Capture samples directly with your iPhone or iPad microphone, or import existing audio files.
Build your own sample library from drums, vocals, instruments, field recordings, sound effects, loops, one-shots, and more.
POWERFUL SAMPLE EDITOR
Shape every sample directly inside the app with a detailed waveform editor.
Zoom and move through the waveform for precise editing and use tools including:
• Cut
• Normalize
• Reverse
• Pitch adjustment
• Filters
• Delay
• Reverb
• Distortion
• Invert
Fine-tune each sound until it plays exactly the way you want.
PER-PAD SOUND CONTROL
Every pad can have its own sound and processing.
Adjust your samples independently and create anything from a simple drum kit to a completely custom performance setup.
