## Description

Rhythm Pad is a feature-rich drum pad and beat sequencer that lets you play drums, record performances, and export your loops as audio files. It ships with high-quality stereo drum kits, a realistic open/closed hi-hat, and optional reverb and compression to shape your sound.

Use the 8-bar sequencer to assemble patterns, record live performances, apply quantization for timing accuracy, and customize kits, pad levels, and layout. Export your recordings as AAC or WAV and reuse them in other projects or apps.
