Description

4 new genres available now for free!
Chiptune, lo-fi, dance and cinematic!
Also key selection is now available!

With Beatly you can generate unlimited amount of 100% original looped music in rap/lo-fi/dance/chiptune/cinematic genre.

Free version features:

- generating unlimited amount of beats in 2 bar loops
- 5 genres (rap, lo-fi, dance, chiptune, cinematic)
- key selection
- changing and locking the tempo (BPM)
- recording the output to WAV
- saving unlimited amount of generated beats
- sharing the beat with Beatly Pro app

Make sure you check out the Pro version, which brings many extra features!

Who is Beatly for:

• composers/producers seeking for quick inspiration or a fresh material to work with
• artists/singers in need of unique rap/rnb beats on demand, e.g. for flow practicing
• developers, film-makers, digital content creators, who need to use free and original music in any kind of multimedia
• pretty much anyone interested in generative art and nonmainstream music

How it works:

Beatly randomly chooses set of instruments and creates 2 unique bars of looped instrumental music (8 beats). Tempo is chosen automatically, however it can be simply changed. All notes are picked by the algorithm. Each beat can be easily saved and loaded later again.

Run app, tap the play button. It is that simple. Music will be different each time you hit the reload button. Once you find the right tune for you, simply save it for later or record it to WAV.

How do I export my beats to Beatly Pro?

In free Beatly app, navigate to menu, tap Share beat, select Beatly Pro, open Beatly Pro - you're done, beat has been imported! :)

It’s great!

Couldn’t be any easier: just press play and get a random and pleasant-sounding beat! Save the ones you like! I may upgrade to Pro to support the developer.

Very cool

Is there an email address that I can write you to to make some suggestions? This last update has changed something and in my opinion has not been necessarily for the best. The drum parts seem even more “nervous/sputtery” than before. When I compared it to some of the saved motifs from the earlier version, the update seems to have less musical sensibilities. Anyway, I think I would have some suggestions for you and some of the other aspects if I could reach you directly. Thanks, Scott

Developer Response ,

Hey Scott, I will be happy to hear your suggestions. Drop me a message via Twitter, if you don't mind! @AntoninCharvat (link in the Beatly AppStore page as well).
I think I know what you mean by the "nervous" drum parts and I am working on it. Currently the algorithm doesn't prefer any patterns and some of the most "disruptive" are used way too often. I'm gonna improve it, no worries! :)
Thank you again!

No Landscape Orientation?

I am an iPad user who would appreciate landscape orientation while using this groovy app. The generated beats can be a little rocky at times, but I can see that with a little more tweaking, this could be a keeper. (I found a few jewels in there!)

Also, an UNDO button would also be great to return back to a previously generated beat.
