How to make a chill 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
Slow it to 70–85 BPM
Chill beats live on the slow side. The starter runs at 82 BPM; drag the tempo readout down and let the kick answer late rather than land on every beat.
02 / 03
Take the edges off everything
Pull the closed hats down until they hiss rather than click, keep the snare soft, and drop one ghost hit late in the bar. The Velvet Lo-Fi kit's tape-worn defaults do most of this before you touch a fader.
03 / 03
Two or three warm chords a bar
Set KEY·SCALE to a minor scale and comp a couple of chord tones per bar on the Soft Grand voice, then one melody note every other bar. That restraint is the whole sound; export it on the Output tier ($3.99 once) when it feels like rain on a window.
Free to build & hear. $3.99 to own the master.

Chill beat questions
Is this chill beat maker free?
Yes — Velvet Lo-Fi is one of Beatloom's two free kits, so everything you hear in the preloaded groove is editable without paying and without an account, including the Soft Grand piano. Creative ($1 once) adds the other ten kits, the extra instrument rows, swing and 32 steps; Output ($3.99 once) adds the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, save slots and shareable links (standard-quality export is free).
Can I loop a chill beat for study or streaming?
Yes. Export the WAV and loop it in any player — every beat is royalty-free and yours on every tier, so it can run under study videos, a stream or a release with no attribution and no extra fee.
What tempo are chill beats?
Between 70 and 85 BPM is the usual range. The starter beat runs at 82 BPM; dropping it much below 70 tends to sound sleepy rather than relaxed.
Do I need a lo-fi sample pack for the dusty sound?
No. Beatloom synthesizes the Velvet Lo-Fi kit's dusty hats, soft kick and warm piano in your browser — there is nothing to download, nothing to clear, and nothing of yours is ever uploaded.
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.
