BeatPad

Your pocket beat pad & sampler.

Record from the microphone or import your own audio files, and turn them into a playable instrument — or start from one of 45 presets: drum kits, analog synths and real samples, all ready to play on a 15-pad grid.

Whether you call it a beat maker, a rhythm maker, a drum station or just a finger drums app — BeatPad is the sampler that turns your phone into an instrument.
