Playbeat 4 - Revolutionary AI-Powered Drum Designer

Audiomodern introduces Playbeat 4, a cutting-edge AI-powered drum designer that features new, advanced algorithms and revolutionary genre-based pattern generation, enabling endless new patterns, sounds, and grooves. No two beats will ever be the same, ensuring an entirely fresh and dynamic experience with every creation.

​​​​​​​

Playbeat ensures that the generated patterns are usable, musical, and fresh, providing unmatched precision and control. Whether creating drum patterns, feeding modules with MIDI, or generating endless remixes on the fly, Playbeat delivers a seamless workflow.

The new genre-based randomization feature allows users to select their preferred music styles and generate patterns tailored to those choices. Playbeat offers full control over the complexity of the beat, enabling the creation of complete drum tracks, individual sounds, or patterns only.

Smart By Design

Unlike other groove creators that rely on a single algorithm, Playbeat innovates by using advanced local AI algorithms to create or remix completely original grooves that never repeat and always sound great.

Powerful Sequencers

With up to eight fully independent sequencers, Playbeat combines real-time pitch shifting, including scales and tunings, the signature Density feature, track delay, volume, pan, and more. This allows for the creation or remixing of infinite pattern combinations in the most creative ways. Users can load any audio file, edit or randomize values and samples instantly, and let Playbeat take over using the signature Infinity mode, ensuring limitless possibilities.

Remix, Perform & Edit

Playbeat's new algorithmic approach allows for unlimited remixes of patterns based on existing sequences, seamlessly adapting to an entire song. Samples can be edited on the spot, and fresh sets of remix patterns can be generated endlessly. The highly acclaimed multi-functional keyboard enables the triggering of individual sounds, pattern sequences, or full drum grooves with ease.

Preset & Sample Management

Playbeat’s new sample and preset management system allows users to add any folder from their device, browse samples, and quickly drag and drop sounds into sequencers and sample slots to build custom kits. Each preset can be previewed, categorized by genre, and even have samples and groove patterns swapped between different presets.

Create, Export & Import Custom Packs

Playbeat enables users to create personalized packs with custom artwork, names, descriptions, and tagging, which can be exported and shared across iPad or Desktop platforms.

With a built-in factory library featuring patterns, sounds, and 1500 kits, Playbeat harnesses the power of its AI algorithms to generate dynamic, inspiring drum tracks for producers of all styles.
