HumbeatWhat Humbeat is
Humbeat is a music studio in the browser that starts where beginners get stuck. Pick one of eighteen styles, from millennial hopecore and mumble rap to heavy metal, 80s dance pop, Y2K teen pop and storyteller pop, and a full arrangement plays straight away: drums, bass, chords and a hook, in the right tempo and key, with intro, verses, choruses and the transitions between them.
Then make it yours. Record your voice over the song with a count-in and the lyrics scrolling by, and shape it with a voice menu: auto-tune from gentle to the instant snap of trap, harmonies, doubling, chipmunk or giant, reverb and grit. Hum a melody and Humbeat turns it into notes you can play on piano, strings, an 808 or a guitar; beatbox and it becomes a drum part. Everything is arranged in a ribbon as plain as a word processor's, and the song exports to a WAV or MIDI file or a share link.

Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Making, recording, exporting and sharing songs is free, with no ads.
Do I need to know music?
No. A style gives you a finished-sounding song to start from, and a plain-words guide explains tracks, chords, effects and song structure.
Can it turn humming into MIDI?
Yes. Hum or sing a melody; Humbeat finds each note, snaps it into the song's key and timing, and plays it on any instrument. You can also export it as a MIDI file.
Does it generate vocals?
No. You sing or hum, and the voice menu (auto-tune, harmony, effects) shapes your own voice.
Can I make songs like Michael Jackson, Britney Spears or Taylor Swift?
You can make songs in those eras' styles (80s dance pop, Y2K teen pop, storyteller pop). The song, the melody and the voice are yours; nothing is copied.
