PHONK MAKER

Make phonk beats online — free, no download

The ButtonBass Phonk Maker is a free online phonk beat maker that runs entirely in your browser. Every sound — the cowbell lead, the distorted 808 bassline, the kicks and rolling hi-hats — is synthesized in real time with the Web Audio API, so there is nothing to install and no sign-up. Tap the pads to jam live, or draw patterns on the 16-step sequencer to build a full drift phonk loop. It works on phones, tablets, Chromebooks and desktops.

How to make a phonk beat

1. Press Play. The Drift preset is already loaded — you'll hear a full phonk loop instantly.
2. Draw a cowbell melody. Open the COWBELL tab and click notes on the grid. The rows are locked to a minor scale, so everything you place sounds phonk.
3. Add the distorted 808 bassline. Switch to the 808 BASS tab and put low notes under your kicks.
4. Shape the sound and export. Turn up DRIVE for grit, add cowbell ECHO, balance the DRUMS / COW / 808 faders, toggle PUMP for that drift sidechain feel, then hit EXPORT WAV to download your beat.
5. Record or share. Hit REC to capture a live pad jam as an audio file, or tap Share Mix for a short link that restores your exact beat — and submit it to the ButtonBass Community Mixes gallery.

Drift phonk, Brazilian phonk & Memphis

Phonk grew out of 1990s Memphis rap — chopped vocals, dusty samples and cowbell percussion — and exploded again through drift phonk: the fast, aggressive, cowbell-driven style behind car edits and gym videos. Brazilian phonk pushes the energy even harder with funk-influenced rhythms, and newer waves like house phonk and krushed club keep splitting the sound further. The seven presets in this phonk maker cover the whole map: DRIFT for high-speed cowbell hooks, MEMPHIS for slow half-time menace, BRAZIL for tresillo-driven aggression, HOUSE for four-on-the-floor house phonk, GYM for relentless workout-edit energy, KRUSH for crushed, echo-smeared club beats, and CHILL for slow ambient nostalgia phonk. Each preset also sets its own swing, drive, echo and pump so it lands as a complete sound — pick one, then twist it into your own. The RANDOM button follows whichever style is selected.
