BeatForge is a music making app that is as easy as pushing a button. It was featured twice on the front page of the app store, and praised by AppleGazette as "without a doubt one of the coolest apps Ive ever seen".


As simple as it gets.

• BeatForge couldn’t be easier to use. The entire screen is a field of buttons, and you just light them up to trigger drums, synths, and all kinds of other sounds.
• Everything is kept in perfect time. No matter when you tap a button, the sequencer will trigger the sound at the perfect moment.
• You don’t have to worry about what sounds good and what doesn’t; BeatForge keeps things working together perfectly.


No experience required.

• You don’t need to know anything about music to use it. Just play, experiment, and explore.
• A lot of music tools want you to solve the hard problems, like what chords fit together, or what rhythm to use. BeatForge does all that for you, and lets you do the creating.
• BeatForge isn’t a tool for musicians, it is a tool for anyone. It puts you straight into creative mode without bogging you down in details.


It makes good music.

• Don’t be fooled by how easy it is; BeatForge makes awesome music.
• Some music tools are all about lights and colors, and the music is just an afterthought. BeatForge isn’t about putting on a show, it’s about putting real music underneath your fingers.
• There are lots of sounds to use, and each one is polished and unique. There is no filler.
• The sounds are deep, high quality samples. Plug into a stereo or a good pair of headphones if you really want to be blown away.


It grows with you.

• You can start making music right away, and things will sound great. But whenever you’re ready, you can expand your song, change sounds, chords, tempo, or save your music and start something new.
• All the sounds are right at your fingertips, and you can change them while the music keeps playing, letting you create in a whole extra dimension.
