In their own words
Beat Shaper
Beat Shaper is a browser-based AI music-production tool for electronic music producers. It turns plain-language prompts into editable multitrack MIDI loops, including drums, basslines, synth parts, and arrangements. Users can adjust genre, mood, and energy with sliders, then edit notes, beats, and synthesizer parameters in the browser. Listed styles include Techno, House, Acid, Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop, and Trance. Exports depend on the plan: Starter includes MP3 downloads; Creator adds MIDI and WAV; Producer also includes Ableton Live project export, a Max4Live device, and real-time MIDI output. The maker lists compatibility with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, and FL Studio. Starter is free for personal, non-commercial use and limits songs to 32 MIDI Clips. Creator costs €9 a month and Producer costs €28 a month; both include commercial usage rights and unlimited song lengths. Paid subscriptions renew monthly and can be cancelled anytime, with paid features lasting through the current billing period.
