Create your foundational beat sequences and melodies in a pleasing distractionless application! 🌱 Create and save beats to your own free personal library! 🖍️ Enjoy a clean aesthetic to boost your creativity and production. 💎
Muse was inspired by Midi Fighter controllers and online beat sequencers that left a void where a much needed mixup could be. Muse's minimalistic design is catered towards an intuitive, non intrusive user experience to allow the seemless transfer of ideas without distraction. Muse allows music enthusiasts to explore music creation in the browser to its fullest with dynamic libraries and an intuitive beat creation design.
Each board that an artist creates, they are provided 16 different modifiable beat pads to create thier perfect beat sequence mix. Each pad can be customized in many ways ranging from the note signature to bpm and how long each bar is.
- Create boards populated with beats saved to a set of 16 buttons.
- Each button has a sequencer that you can drag notes from a library onto the playboard.
- Load and save previously created boards to and from your personal library.
- Set a global BPM.
- Select a local speed multiplier.
