Beat Scribe

Drop notes onto the staff and hear it loop back instantly — build grooves across tracks, add swing and feel to each part, and lock in with the metronome.

Beat Scribe is your rhythm sketchpad.

Hear a rhythm in your head? Tap it out and play it back in seconds. Beat Scribe turns a clean musical staff into an instrument — tap notes to build a groove, hit play, and it loops back instantly so you can feel it. No clutter, no setup. Just rhythm.

WHAT YOU CAN DO • Tap notes and rests onto the staff — quarters, eighths, sixteenths, dotted notes, triplets • Drop in beamed rhythm cells — two eighths, four sixteenths, dotted figures, and more • Hit play and loop your pattern instantly • Layer grooves across tracks — snare, hi-hat, ride, bass drum, toms, cymbals • Work in any meter — 4/4, 3/4, 5/4 and beyond • Shape the feel of each track — add swing or shuffle (8th- or 16th-note) to any lane • Nudge a part ahead of or behind the beat — push it or lay it back for a human feel • New here? A quick guided tour walks you through it — replay it any time from the menu (the onboarding) • Keep time with the built-in metronome • Made for iPhone and iPad

MADE FOR Drummers, musicians, students, and teachers — sketching a groove, working out a part, or learning to read rhythm.

FREE & PRO The free version gives you snare and hi-hat across two tracks — enough to build and play a real rhythm. Beat Scribe Pro (one-time) unlocks the full kit, more tracks, save / load / share, and import your own sounds.
