The drum machine is the heart of the beat maker: 6 drum tracks, a shuffle wheel of hand-made grooves, a swing knob from 50% to 75%, per-step velocity (click high for an accent, low for a ghost note) and a TIMING mode to push or drag single hits off the grid at tick resolution. Each drum channel has its own pitch, filters, 12-bit mode and envelope.
The sampler loads WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, AIFF, M4A and Opus, chops them into up to 64 slices (by hand, 16 equal, or snapped to transients), maps the chops to pads, and can remove the drums from a loop so you keep the melody and play your own beat under it. Four sample slots, pitch, and everything sequenced next to the drums.
The Minimoog-style synth gives you basses, leads, keys and pads with 96 presets and a user bank. Record it live from your keyboard or a MIDI controller, then edit the notes in the piano roll. Up to four melodic tracks, each set to SYNTH or to a sampled PIANO.
Mix like in a DAW: per-channel faders, EQ, hi-pass and low-pass, then a master chain with a 5-band EQ, an SSL-style bus compressor with sidechain high-pass, a transient designer, Ampex-style tape emulation, a stereo widener, a limiter and a LUFS meter so your export lands at a sensible loudness. The FX tab adds plate, spring, chamber and large reverbs, a synced delay, and 16 master FX pads (cassette sim, vinyl sim, lo-fi, crusher, tape echo, grain, isolator, chorus, flanger, phaser…), up to four at once.
PRINT patterns into parts in the SEQUENCER tab, name them, cut and reorder them, and play the whole track. Export WAV stems per instrument or a full master, a live take, a MIDI file, or share the full song as a beat card. Saving to your account is free.
Shuffle Drummer was made by Mani Deïz, a French hip-hop producer active since 1998, with three friends. The swing engine, the pad workflow and the sampler come straight from the MPC tradition, but house, techno, lo-fi and pop beats come out just as naturally. The whole audio engine runs in your browser on the Web Audio API, with zero dependencies, and updates ship every week. Looking for a specific sound?
