How to make an 808 beat in Beatloom
The starter beat above already follows these moves — pull it apart pad by pad, or clear the grid and build your own from the recipe.
01 / 03
Let the kick and sub move together
Place the kick sparse and syncopated, then lock the bass row to the same steps on the root. When the sub slides — drop it to the ♭6 then the 5 into the loop's end — the beat breathes.
02 / 03
Two bars, one fill
Heavy beats live on the 32-step grid: bar 1 states the pattern, bar 2 repeats it and breaks late — extra kicks, an open hat, a bass slide. That fill is what DJs run it back for.
03 / 03
Menace comes from the scale
The starter uses C harmonic minor — the raised leading tone is the drama. Brass stabs on the downbeats, one bell phrase up top, vox chops shadowing the snare. Export it on the Output tier ($3.99 once) when it hits.
Free to build & hear. $3.99 to own the master.

Heavy 808 beat questions
Is this 808 beat maker free?
Yes — the preloaded beat plays in full, and the drums, keys, tempo, and key and scale are free with no account. Iron Trap is a Creative kit ($1 once), which also unlocks the 32-step grid and the 808-bass row; Output ($3.99 once) unlocks the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, save slots and shareable links (standard-quality export is free).
Are these real 808 sounds?
They're synthesized 808-style voices — a distorted sub kick and a gliding sine sub generated live by your browser's audio engine. Nothing is sampled, so there's nothing to download and nothing to clear.
How do I make my 808s slide?
On the bass row, step from one scale degree to another on nearby pads — the sub glides between them. Creative's 808 Glide bass voice (one tap on the VOICE chip) exaggerates the slide.
Why does my 808 sound weak on laptop speakers?
Sub bass lives below what laptop speakers reproduce — that's physics, not your beat. Check it on headphones or a car system; the exported WAV carries the full low end.
Cost, licence & export
How much does Beatloom cost?
Building and hearing a beat is free, with no account. Creative is $1 once and unlocks all twelve kits, seven more instrument rows, sample and loop upload, 32 steps, swing and panning. Output is $3.99 once and adds the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, three save slots and shareable beat links — a standard-quality WAV export is free on every tier. Nothing is a subscription and nothing renews.
Are the beats royalty-free? Can I use them commercially?
Yes. Everything you make in Beatloom is royalty-free and yours on every tier, including free. Release it, sell it, monetise it, and use it in paid client work — video, ads, podcasts, social — with no per-project licence, no attribution and no extra fee. The one thing you cannot do is resell the raw Beatloom sounds as a sample pack.
Can I export my beat as a WAV file?
Yes. Standard-quality export is free. The one-time $3.99 Output unlock adds clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV masters, three pattern save slots and shareable beat links. Exports download straight to your device.
Does Beatloom work on a Chromebook, or on a phone?
Yes. Any modern browser works — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop or mobile, including Chromebooks. On phones the step grid scrolls sideways; headphones are recommended for the sub-bass.
