DrawBeat: Sketch to Music

Every line is a note. Every drawing is a song. 🎨🎵

DrawBeat: Sketch to Music turns whatever you doodle into a melody you can play, loop and share. Draw a cat, a mountain range or a random squiggle, press play and watch a playhead sweep across your picture while it sings. No music lessons, no sheet music, no pressure: if you can hold a finger on the screen, you can compose.

✏️ DRAW IT YOUR WAY
• Line mode for smooth, flowing strokes
• Pixel mode for chunky, blocky pixel art
• Switch between the two whenever you like
• Eraser, undo and redo, so mistakes cost nothing

🎶 HEAR YOUR DRAWING COME ALIVE
Your canvas works like a piece of music. Left to right is time, bottom to top is pitch. Higher lines play higher notes, and everything snaps neatly into a scale, so your doodles sound musical from the very first stroke. Press play and your sketch loops with a moving playhead, so you can see exactly which part is singing.

🎹 8 INSTRUMENTS, 8 COLORS
Piano, Marimba, Bells, Synth, Guitar, Flute, Violin and Saxophone, each with its own color on the canvas. Draw a bassline in one color and a melody in another, and you have a little band. Then choose what each stroke plays: Melody, Bass, Arpeggio or Drum kit, or a single drum like Kick, Snare, Clap or Hi-hat.

🎼 SHAPE THE MOOD
• 12 keys
• 9 scales: Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Harmonic minor, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian and Blues
• Tempo from a slow 40 BPM up to a racing 240 BPM
Try the same drawing in Blues, then in Lydian, and hear how its whole personality changes.

🐾 27 READY-MADE TEMPLATES
Not sure where to start? Open a ready drawing of animals, birds, landscapes or people, or one of 3 drum grooves. Hit play, then recolor it, change the sounds and make it your own.

🖼️ BACKGROUNDS THAT SET THE SCENE
Draw on a plain color, on one of 6 painted backdrops, or on a photo from your gallery or camera. Adjust the opacity so your lines always stand out.
