Online Launchpad: Play Songs on Pads

Yes. It is free, needs no account or download, and runs in your browser.

The songs here are our own originals, which is why anyone can play and share them. Search them by name, genre, mood or tempo.

Novation Launchpad MK2, X, Mini MK3 and Pro MK3, and the Akai APC Mini and APC Mini MK2. Plug one in over USB in Chrome, Edge or Opera and it lights up by itself.

Yes. Tap the pads on a phone or tablet, or click them with the mouse.

The number keys 1 to 8 and the letter rows from Q, A and Z play the top four rows. Hold Shift for the bottom four. The space bar stops everything.

Each row is one part of the song: drums, hats and percussion, bass, chords, lead, vocal chops, effects and single hits. A loop waits for the next bar and stays in time with the others, so anything you press fits. Press a playing pad to stop it, or another pad in its row to switch to it. Press Demo to hear the song built up pad by pad. Or press Play along and hit each pad as it lights up.

A Novation Launchpad (MK2, X, Mini MK3 or Pro MK3) or an Akai APC mini plays the grid and lights each pad in its row's colour: bright while it plays, blinking while it waits for the bar. The round buttons down the right stop their row.

Every song here is an original written for this page, from future bass and house to dubstep, trap, lo-fi and drum and bass. The sounds are made in your browser, so there is nothing to download, and you are free to perform and record them.

No. The free tools need no account and no download. They run in your browser, and nothing you play or drop in is uploaded.

Yes, in any current mobile browser. MIDI keyboards and pad controllers need Chrome, Edge or Opera, on a computer or an Android phone.

GrooveSheet turns any song into sheet music, MIDI and separated stems with AI: drums, bass, guitar, piano and more. Every song starts with a free 10-second preview.
