- Windows users making beats and electronic music
- Worth noticing
- Its 46 included sounds are described as free to use in released music, and the app can sort a user's drum kit by listening to each sound.
Field notes
The app's microphone feature maps syllables such as “b,” “psh,” and “ts” to kick, snare, and hi-hat parts; the page also says humming can produce notes. Users can load their own kits, and the software sorts sounds by listening to them. The site lists multiple piano rolls, floating windows, and second-monitor use, while its FAQ says projects remain on the computer and the app works offline.
