Have you ever had a beat stuck in your head while riding on the train? Have
you ever felt musically creative at 3 a.m. with nothing else to do?

Did you ever feel you could create the next pop hit but havenʼt figured out yet what Cut-off means?Do you have 3.99$? If so, we might have something for you…

FingerBeat is a virtual beat-box instrument for the iPhone and iPod Touch that
brings beat and loop creation straight from your mind to the tips of your fingers.
Included, are cutting-edge sound sets for beat-driven styles (techno, hip-hop, dubstep,
etc.) that you can play by tapping straight on the iPhoneʼ screen. Just keep the rhythm!

Streamlined to be intuitive, simple and immediate, FingerBeat aims to be a pick-up-and-
play tool to quickly annotate musical ideas, create beats and above all, have fun doing
it! You can create beats and melodies with your fingers, refine your patterns with the
piano roll, and step sequencer while grabbing your own sounds using the iPhone’
microphone.

You can also use the microphone to sing over your creations. Is this party boring? Just
plug it in the stereo and be the Master of Ceremonies. Your creations are automatically
saved on exit and recalled when you load the application for total immediacy, so you
can just pick it up where you left off after that 5 minute subway ride.

Now everyone can simply start creating beats in a myriad of styles with little or no
musical knowledge. Just go with the flow and tap what you feel like…

FingerBeat is not for musicians. Fingerbeat is for you.
