Loop Pads online
A free loop pad in the browser: 20 synced loops from the Carnival pack, touch, mouse and keyboard control, delay throws and recording. No account, nothing to install.
About
Loop Pads is made by Beat Squad LLC, a small music app studio in Yerevan, Armenia. We have built pad instruments for phones since the first Drum Pads 24 shipped in July 2013, and Loop Pads has been on Google Play and the App Store since 2014. This page says who we are, what we make and who produced the sounds you play.
What we make
The idea is the same everywhere: a grid of pads, each holding a loop that stays in time with all the others. The web version is the quickest way to try it. The apps are where the library, the effects and the recording tools live.

The Loop Pads 24 library has 29 sound packs: 14 by the Beat Squad sound design team, 10 by Paul Lipnyagov, 5 by Enei. The same credit appears on every pack on the sound packs page and in its structured data, so you always know who made what you are playing.

Where we come from
The first version goes live on Android in July 2013 with four sound packs. Finger drumming on a phone turns out to be something people want: the Drum Pads 24 apps have since passed 75 million installs, and the Drum Pads 24 YouTube channel has more than 500,000 subscribers.
Loop Pads 24 lands on Google Play in February and Loop Pads for iPhone and iPad follows on the App Store in May. Where Drum Pads 24 fires one hit per pad, Loop Pads keeps whole phrases running in sync, so a beat, a bassline and a melody come from a few taps.

Two custom sound packs are produced for the opening ceremony of the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei.
A rebuilt version of the iOS app arrives in February 2020: a new interface, audio effects, a drum kit section, a melody section and an acapella section, so vocals can be mixed with every sound pack, all in key.
Loop Pads 24 grows from a pad app into a live loop launcher. Any loop can be chopped into slices and painted onto a step sequencer, with probability, pitch, ratchets and effect sends set per step. Automation curves move filters and levels while you play. Every clip has its own filter, bit crush and drive, the mix runs through reverb, delay, EQ, a compressor and a limiter, MIDI controllers and Ableton Link plug in, and the take records to WAV or exports as a video.
loop-pad.com runs the Carnival pack in the browser, free and without an install, so anyone can try a loop pad before getting the app.
