Make trap beats online free, in your browser

This trap beat maker runs entirely in your browser with no downloads, plugins, or sign-ups. Its drums use legal CC0 samples while the Web Audio engine creates the booming 808 bass with glide and twenty melody voices live in any key, with five scales from menacing Phrygian to bright Major. Program your pattern on the 16-step sequencer, dial in the tempo and swing, then export your beat as a WAV file you can drop straight into any DAW, video, or TikTok edit.

The 808 lane is the heart of trap. Tap a step to place a bass note, then tap it again to add glide — the 808 slides up or down from the previous note, the signature sound of modern trap and drill. Stack it with hi-hat rolls (tap a hat step repeatedly to cycle 2, 3, and 4-hit rolls) and a half-time snare and you have the classic trap formula. Shape the sub with the Decay and Drive knobs, watch it move on the live waveform, and press Share to copy a link that reloads your exact beat for anyone who opens it. Beats also autosave in your browser, so your work is right where you left it next visit.

When one bar is not enough, flip to Pattern B with the A/B switch, chain the two together for a full two-bar arrangement, and move the whole beat into a new key from the Key menu. Choose from twenty melody voices, then optionally add Melody Layer 2 as a counter melody, chord sparkle, or background texture. Export MIDI downloads drums, 808s, Melody 1, and the optional supporting layer on separate channels, ready for FL Studio, Ableton, or any DAW.

Or let the machine start: press ✦ Generate Song and the built-in composer picks a chord progression, writes a sliding 808 line on the roots, develops a melody motif across patterns A and B, and rolls a brand-new drum kit — then Song Mode arranges it all into a full track with an intro, filtered build-ups, risers, drops, a breakdown, and an outro. Export it and you have a complete, never-heard-before trap song as a WAV.

How to make a trap beat

  1. Start from a preset. Load Classic 140 or Drill Slide to hear a finished pattern, then press Play.
  2. Lay down the 808s. In the gold 808 Bass lane, tap steps to place bass notes. Tap a note a second time to add glide so it slides from the previous note.
  3. Add hi-hat rolls. Tap hi-hat steps repeatedly to cycle single hits into 2, 3, or 4-hit rolls — rolls are what make trap hats bounce.
  4. Place the snare and kick. A snare or clap on step 9 gives you the half-time trap feel. Line kicks up with your 808 notes for punch.
  5. Finish and export. Sprinkle dark bells for melody, set BPM around 130–160, add a touch of swing, and hit Export WAV to download your beat.

Frequently asked questions

Is this trap beat maker free?

Yes. The trap beat maker is completely free to use with no account, download, or install. It runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or phone.

What is 808 glide?

Glide (also called portamento or an 808 slide) makes the bass note slide smoothly in pitch from the previous 808 note instead of jumping. It is the signature bass sound of trap and drill. Tap any active 808 step a second time to turn on glide for that note.

Can I download the beats I make?

Yes. Press Export WAV and the beat maker renders two loops of your pattern to a 16-bit 44.1 kHz WAV file that downloads to your device. Export MIDI downloads the same pattern as a .mid file with drums, 808s, and melody on separate channels, ready to drag into FL Studio, Ableton, or any DAW.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. The sequencer is touch-friendly and works on iPhone, iPad, and Android. Tap the Play button once to start the audio engine, then tap steps to build your beat.

Can it generate a full trap song?

Yes. Generate Song composes a new beat from a chord progression — 808s on the roots with slides, a melody motif with a variation, and a randomized drum kit — and Song Mode arranges your patterns into a complete track with an intro, build-ups, risers, drops, a breakdown, and an outro. Export WAV in Song Mode renders the whole arrangement, about a minute and a half of finished music.

Where do the sounds come from?

The drum kits use CC0 public-domain samples with round-robin hits and different processing for each kit. The sliding 808 and melody instruments are synthesized in real time with the Web Audio API.
