How to make a beat online
- Start from a preset — Trap, Boom Bap, House, Drill, Afrobeat or Lo-Fi loads a pattern, kit and tempo you can tweak.
- Tap the grid — each row is a drum (Kick, Snare, Clap, Hi-hat, Open Hat, Tom, Rim, Cowbell) and each column is a 16th-note step. Click cells to switch them on; click a drum name to mute it.
- Pick a kit — switch between 808, 909 and Acoustic to change the character of the kick and snare.
- Add swing — nudge the off-beats late for a looser, more human groove.
- Play the pads — use your mouse or the A S D F G H J K keys to perform live; press space to start and stop.
- Export — choose 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars and download a WAV or MP3, or copy a share link to send your beat.
What makes this beat maker different

- Named 808 and 909 kits — the classic drum-machine character, synthesised for instant load.
- Real swing and a keyboard pad mode — the two things that make a beat feel alive.
- Turn it into a full song — hand your beat idea to Solmi to generate an original track with vocals and arrangement, then bring it back to shape.
