Live Product / BeatGate Creative / Free

01 / Action

See it in action

Draw a pattern, expand the phrase, and shape Groove, Shift, Smooth, and Dry/Wet on a flat source.

02 / What

What BeatGate does

BeatGate chops incoming audio into a playable rhythmic pattern. It is designed for fast results and direct control, not deep menu diving.

Drop it on a pad, synth, loop, bus, or full texture, sketch a pattern, and turn flat audio into something that breathes, pulses, and reacts.

03 / Why

Why it feels different

Always-clear 16-step editing One focused page at a time - easy to read while playing, fast for sketching and performance tweaks.
Up to 64 steps Start with 1 page for simple cuts. Expand up to 4 pages when you want longer phrases and variation.
Musical rhythm shaping Rate from 1/4 to 1/32. Smooth softens edges. Groove adds swing from 0-50, then opens 2x / x2 ideas. Shift repositions the active pattern without rewriting it.
Built for experimentation Short-press Randomize for a fresh page. Long-press resets to 1010. Dry/Wet from subtle movement to full rhythmic slicing.
04 / Ideal for

Ideal for

  • Pads that need pulse and motion
