Community Beat: tap a shared drum machine with others in real time
Place drum hits on a 16-step grid, play them together instantly, and export your group beat as video or audio file.
Making a beat alone is fun, but making one together is immediate and social. Community Beat puts a drum machine in front of everyone at once: each person taps steps on rows of drums (kick, snare, hi-hat, clap, cowbell, bass, and more), hears the shared rhythm play back in real time, and watches who just hit what. You can load a DJ-made preset to start from, adjust the tempo, and when you're done, export the whole session as a video or audio file to share.
What it does
You see a grid of 12 drum sounds across 16 steps. Tap any step to toggle a drum hit on or off. The beats play back immediately and sync with other people in the session. At the top, a live feed shows who just placed each hit. A tempo slider lets you speed up or slow down. Five DJ presets (Nocturna, Block Party, Sunset Drive, Sub Zero, Carnival Heat) load full beat patterns you can remix. Below the grid, you choose how many bars to export (4, 8, or 16) and pick a format: video (.webm) or audio only. Export starts when you click the button.
