Summary
Playbeat 4 is a drum-design plugin for creating patterns, sounds, grooves, and remixes. Its genre-based randomization makes patterns for selected musical styles, with control over beat complexity. Eight pattern tracks support sequencing, and the factory library includes patterns, sounds, and 1500 kits. You can send MIDI to other plugins or external hardware; supported DAWs include Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper, and Reason. Desktop editions are available in VST3, AU, AAX, and standalone formats for macOS 10.14 and newer or Windows 10 and newer, with native Apple Silicon M1/M2 compatibility. The iPad version supports AUv3 and standalone use and must be purchased separately from desktop. The unlimited-time trial includes the factory library and algorithms, but disables MIDI output, importing your own sounds, and saving presets. Playbeat 4 costs 89.00 EUR per once; the all-expansions option costs 99.00 EUR per once. Previous-version owners can upgrade for 29.00 EUR per once.
Who it is for
It suits producers who want genre-based drum pattern generation, MIDI control, and sequencing within a supported DAW. iPad users should note that the app requires a separate purchase from the desktop version.
