World's Smartest Groove Machine.
Next-Generation Creative Groove Engine for Windows and macOS.
The Next Generation Groove Machine
Create infinite variations of the grooves while maintaining a sense of creativity, inspiration, and momentum. No two patterns will ever be the same.
Smart by Design
Unlike other groove creators that are limited to one specific algorithm, Playbeat innovates by using advanced sonic analysis algorithms to create or remix completely original grooves that never repeat and always sound great!
With the ability to generate and suggest different combinations for your beats on the fly, you'll always have something fresh and new, from simple pattern remixes to more complex drum beats. The more you play, the more combinations you get.
Powerful Sequencers
With up to eight totally independent sequencers which can combine Real-Time Pitch Shifting, Playbeat's signature Density feature, Flam strokes, Volume, Pan and more, Playbeat can create or remix infinite combinations of patterns in the most creative way.
Load up any audio file, edit or randomize the values and samples instantly. Let Playbeat take over and let it perform for you using the signature Infinity mode. There are no limitations on what comes out!
With the ability of flexible mapped MIDI output routing, you can also 'feed' any of your other Drum Sequencers, Plugins, Synths, Modules or even Hardware Gear. Basically, anything that accepts MIDI.
Remix, Perform & Edit
With Playbeat's totally new algorithm introduced to version 3.0, you now have the option to create unlimited remixes of patterns based on your current pattern to fit your entire song.
Edit your samples on the spot, and generate a new, fresh set of Remix patterns again and again.. and again.
Preset & Sample Management
With Playbeat's totally new Sample management and Preset management system, you can add any folder from your computer, browse any sample and quickly drag and drop any sample to the Sequencers & Sample Slots to create your Kits.
Each Preset can be Previewed, categorized by Genre, or even swap Samples & Groove Patterns from different presets.
With the new Export tab you can save or export any Stem, or complete Pattern in MIDI or WAVE file with Drag-n-Drop.
Audiomodern believes it is the most Flexible System on the market today, and they're really proud of it!
Create your Own Packs
You now have the option to create your own personalized packs, all with your own Artwork, Name, Description and tagging which you can export and share with another device or with another user.
Playbeat Packs capture both the Samples & Patterns so every pack you export is exactly as you designed it.
Everything can be done with 1-Click Pack Export & Import. It's really fast.
