Beat Maker
Four pads. One speaker. Infinite remixes.
Beat Maker turns the device you built into a pocket drum machine. Tap a pad and a sound hits the speaker. A glassy chime in C major. A punchy kick drum. A rising synth. Stack them into a loop and you've made a beat on hardware you put together yourself. Then open the code. Swap in your own sounds, change the tempo, redesign the pads, or add a fifth one. Your AI coding agent helps you write each change, and every change plays out loud.
It's the drum machine you wanted in high school, except now you write the firmware.
WHAT'S IN THE GAME PLAY
Four touch pads, each with its own sound and color: Glass (chime, C major), Kick (low end, punch), Rise (lift, synth), and My Clip (your last capture).
Live mode. Tap the pads in real time and play along.
Capture mode. Record what you play so you can keep it.
Library. Store your sounds and come back to them later.
Remix everything. Change the sounds, colors, layout, and tempo, or use Beat Maker as the starting point for your own music app.
