BeatDiscovery
BeatDiscovery is a beat-making app for creating, exploring, and exporting beats.
What BeatDiscovery is
BeatDiscovery is a beat-making app for creating, exploring, and exporting beats. Its AI-powered suggestions help users find patterns, and the maker says it can generate millions of patterns and sounds to explore. A described workflow starts with patterns and sounds, explores variations, adds loops, and layers melodies with a built-in synth synchronized with drums. Users can export WAV audio, MIDI, and stems, and create beats without an internet connection. The app is described as available for Android and iOS, although the maker's About page says the iPhone download is coming soon. Its separate VST/AU desktop plugin for macOS is discontinued and no longer actively developed, though existing installations continue to work. Purchase options include a monthly auto-renewing Pack Pass, one-time purchases for eligible Complete Library catalog content or individual packs, and an Own Forever purchase. Prices are shown in the app at purchase. Own Forever permanently unlocks full app features but excludes ongoing catalog downloads and Collab access. Beats, loops, imported packs, and settings are stored locally unless a feature that transmits data is used.
