Free · In your browser
Make beats online. Right here, free.
TAIL is a beat maker that runs in your browser. Load 16 pads, tap a pattern into the step sequencer, and bounce it — no installation, no signup to play, free account for saving.
Open the beat makerHow it works
From empty pads to a loop in three moves.
Load the pads
Drag drums, a loop, or a voice memo onto the 16 pads — 8 banks deep, so a whole kit fits.
Tap the pattern
Finger-drum it live or punch the steps into the sequencer. Mutegroups keep the hats and the open hat honest.
Bounce the beat
Export straight from the browser — the beat is a file on your device, yours to keep.
No DAW required
Free should mean free, not a trial with a countdown.
Most "free" beat makers are a download, an account, and a watermark before you hear anything. TAIL is a link. Open it, load a pad, tap a pattern — the first beat happens before the average installer finishes unpacking, and nothing you make gets stamped.
It's a real sampler underneath, not a toy loop-stacker: 16 pads, 8 banks, mutegroups, and a waveform editor when you want to chop a sample instead of loading a one-shot — opened at the part where the beat gets made.
Export free. Save with a free account. Grow into KITE.
Bounce your beat out of the browser anytime — what you make is yours to download. A free account lets you save projects and reopen them later, on any device. And when a loop deserves arrangement and mixing, the whole kit — pads, banks, and sequences — loads into KITE as a plugin, so the beat becomes a track without starting over.
The short answers.
Yes. Open it in your browser and start making a beat — no installation, no signup to play, no trial clock. A free account unlocks saving and reopening projects, and the native iOS/Android app is a small one-time purchase if you want TAIL on your home screen, offline.
No. TAIL runs entirely in the browser on Web Audio — the pads, the sequencer, and the waveform editor are all on the page. Open the link and the beat maker is already loaded.
That's what TAIL was built for. The pads are sized for thumbs and the sequencer is built for a touchscreen, not a desktop UI shrunk down. It behaves the same on a tablet or a laptop.
You can bring your own — any audio file drops onto a pad — but you don't have to. Record straight in, use a voice memo, or chop something you already have; TAIL turns whatever you feed it into a playable kit.
Export it from the browser anytime; the bounce is yours to download and use. Save it with a free account to reopen it later on any device, and when a sketch deserves the full studio treatment the whole kit loads into KITE as a plugin.
