GridBeat — Drum Machine & Step Sequencer
Tap the grid, hit play, and your beat is rolling. GridBeat is a fast, focused drum machine that turns your phone or tablet into a classic step sequencer — no menus to dig
through, no setup, just pads and rhythm.
Everything happens on one screen, designed for landscape: eight drum tracks down the side, sixteen steps across, and every control one tap away.
MAKE BEATS, NOT DETOURS
- Tap cells on the grid to place kicks, snares, hi-hats, toms, and more
- Eight drum tracks powered by a full GM percussion sound engine
- Low-latency audio — what you tap is what you hear, instantly
- Edit while playing: every change lands on the very next step
SHAPE YOUR GROOVE
- Tempo control with a wide BPM range
- Swing to push your pattern off the grid and make it breathe
- Time signature changes that keep your existing hits in place
- Pattern presets that adapt to your current meter
DROP IN FILLS
- A separate fill pattern alongside your main groove
- Set fills to trigger every 2, 4, or 8 bars — automatically
- Browse a built-in fill library and preview each one before loading it
MIX IT YOUR WAY
- Per-track mixer with volume and stereo pan
- Mute and solo any track to focus your groove
- Each drum sits on its own channel, so panning is truly per-instrument
NEVER LOSE A BEAT
- Five pattern slots for sketching multiple ideas
- Automatic saving — your work is always there when you come back
- Patterns restore instantly on launch
Whether you're sketching song ideas, practicing along to a groove, or just enjoy the feel of a classic drum machine, GridBeat keeps the path from idea to beat as short as
possible.
