How to make a lo-fi 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 down, loosen the kick
Lo-fi lives between 70 and 90 BPM. Keep the kick off the strict grid feel — the starter's kick lands on 1 with late answers, which is where the head-nod comes from.
02 / 03
Dusty hats, soft backbeat
Eighth-note closed hats with the volume pulled down read as tape haze on the Velvet Lo-Fi kit. Snare on 2 and 4, mixed soft — nothing in lo-fi should snap.
03 / 03
Warm chords in a minor key
Flip the Keys track's VOICE chip to Soft Grand and comp two or three chord tones per bar in G minor. Sparse is the sound; export free when it feels like rain on a window.
Free to play. $5 once to own the studio.

Lo-Fi beat questions
Is this lo-fi beat maker free?
Yes — the Velvet Lo-Fi kit is one of Beatloom's two free kits, so the whole preloaded groove is editable without paying. Free includes the sequencer, mixing, key/scale control, and beat export. Studio Pro is $5 once for all nine kits and stereo WAV export.
What tempo are lo-fi beats?
Usually 70–90 BPM. The starter beat runs at 82 BPM; drag the tempo readout to slow it into full study-beats territory.
How do I get that dusty lo-fi sound without samples?
The Velvet Lo-Fi kit synthesizes tape-worn hats and a soft kick by default, and the Keys track's Soft Grand voice gives you the warm piano. Low hat volume + a little swing does the rest — no vinyl crackle samples needed.
Can I use my lo-fi beats in videos or streams?
Yes — everything is synthesized in your browser, so your exports are entirely yours. Use them under videos, streams, or a full release.
