Make music & play DJ beats!

View

So you want to be a dance music superstar but have no idea where to start? Drum Pad Machine is a fun and accessible way to learn the basics of beat-making, looping and sequencing – and it comes with enough sounds to keep any club (or house party) jumping.

What we love: Drum Pad Machine’s basic interface is super simple. Tap the pads with your fingers to trigger different sounds: bass kicks, hi-hats, rave pianos, funk guitars, weird glitchy noises, you name it. There is a huge number of sound packs available, from trap to dubstep, hip-hop to house, and with new beats released each week, you will not get bored.

Drum Pad Machine rewards experimentation and exploration.

Quick tip: Tap on the BPM (beats per minute) button in the top-left corner of the pad to access the sequencer. This enables you to build up your drum loops with repeated patterns; try recording yourself, adding and subtracting elements, as you work up to a complete track.
