Lo-fi beat maker: start with a pattern
Use a sparse drum pattern as a starting point for a lo-fi idea. The preset leaves space between kick and hat hits so you can decide where the loop should feel fuller or more relaxed.
Open the Lo-fi presetKeep the core pattern simple
Choose Lo-fi and generate a starting pattern. The preset uses a restrained kick pattern and a regular snare backbeat. Listen to the two bars before adding anything; the empty steps are part of the arrangement.
Change the pulse, not every hit
The closed-hat row gives the loop a regular reference. Turn off selected hits to make the pulse less busy, or move a few accents by clicking the grid. A small change between bars can make a repeated loop feel less static.
Know what this sketch includes
This browser preview synthesizes drum-like sounds and a simple bass tone. It does not add vinyl noise, sampled drums, chords, melody, swing, or audio export. You can use the pattern as a rhythm starting point and continue the production in another tool.
Try this edit
Try lowering the energy setting before adding more steps. Then compare the two-bar loop with one or two extra hat hits in the second bar.
