For this reason, we want the beats we hear to feel just right and naturally flow through us, as something we feel both intrinsically and instinctively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to making music, it&#8217;s important that this frictionless experience of rhythms extends beyond our listening experience and into our production process as well\u2014we want to be able to quickly act on our immediate creative instincts, without barriers or clunky workflows getting in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Splice&#8217;s new <strong>Beatmaker<\/strong> empowers us to do just that.

You can navigate an array of built-in factory presets via the top menu, explore <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/presets\/beatmaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an ever-growing catalog of additional presets<\/a> made by expert sound designers, or construct a kit that&#8217;s entirely your own by dragging-and-dropping sounds from the Splice desktop app directly onto the pads. This view is great for playing with your MIDI controller, or programming notes within your DAW&#8217;s piano roll if sequencers simply aren&#8217;t your style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can refine various characteristics of any individual sound on the grid spanning volume, pitch, gain, panning, reverb, delay, and waveform position by manipulating the appropriate parameter on the bottom of the GUI. By clicking the <strong>ALL FX<\/strong> button, you can access even more effects spanning distortion, filters, flanging, and more to truly fine tune your samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.55.40-PM-1024x769.png\" alt=\"beatmaker-pads-in-post-03\" class=\"wp-image-16670 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.55.40-PM-1024x769.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.55.40-PM-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.55.40-PM-340x255.png 340w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.55.40-PM-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.55.40-PM-1536x1153.png 1536w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.55.40-PM.png 2028w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/769;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you&#8217;re looking to apply certain effects like reverb or delay on your <em>entire<\/em> kit, you can do so via the <strong>Global FX<\/strong> button on the top-right corner of the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sequencer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.59.50-PM-1024x769.png\" alt=\"beatmaker-sequencer-in-post-04\" class=\"wp-image-16672 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.59.50-PM-1024x769.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.59.50-PM-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.59.50-PM-340x255.png 340w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.59.50-PM-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.59.50-PM-1536x1153.png 1536w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-12.59.50-PM.png 2028w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/769;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sequencer view is where we take the individual sounds from our Pads and translate them into a groove.

If you want to design your own groove from an entirely blank slate, you can click the <strong>CLEAR<\/strong> button to wipe the lanes clean. Alternatively, you can try hitting the <strong>RANDOMIZE <\/strong>button to uncover new ideas that you may have never imagined on your own. Hit <strong>PLAY<\/strong> to hear the groove in isolation, or play the overall session in your DAW to hear the pattern in the context of your track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re feeling happy with your beat, you can hit <strong>EXPORT<\/strong> and then either select <strong>Render audio clip<\/strong> to preserve or further manipulate it as an audio track, or <strong>Drag MIDI pattern <\/strong>to have the groove available in your DAW&#8217;s piano roll (which can be great for adding small fills, variations, etc. so that the beat stays interesting throughout the full duration of your track).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-3.39.02-PM-1-1024x694.png\" alt=\"beatmaker-in-post-MIDI\" class=\"wp-image-16681 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-3.39.02-PM-1-1024x694.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-3.39.02-PM-1-400x271.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-3.39.02-PM-1-355x241.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-3.39.02-PM-1-768x521.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-3.39.02-PM-1-1536x1041.png 1536w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Screen-Shot-2021-06-07-at-3.39.02-PM-1-2048x1389.png 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/694;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get creating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully this article gave you some insight into the different creative possibilities that Beatmaker has to offer.
