A virtual instrument for creating beats

Quickbeats is an accessible drum machine that enables users to create contemporary beats, rhythms, backing tracks, and loops. Using the software is a fantastic way to introduce children and young people to music technology. As well as being a great resource in its own right, it interfaces seamlessly with Charanga's YuStudio® DAW.

You can use Quickbeats for various learning activities, such as composing backing tracks for improvising, a class rap, or a song. Supporting templates, a Teacher’s Guide, and teaching ideas are included to ensure teachers can help their students get the most from this virtual instrument.
