BeepSynth is a free chiptune music maker that runs entirely in your browser. Press the pads on the beep board to play retro 8-bit sounds, layer them into melodies, and sketch out song ideas — no downloads, no sign-up, no music theory required.
Beep Board: the main chiptune soundboard. Trigger bleeps, bloops, and arpeggios to build retro melodies and video-game-style sound effects in real time.
DJ Board Pro: a performance pad layout for triggering sounds and clips live, like a pocket launchpad. Try DJ Board Pro.
Digital Piano: a full interactive piano keyboard for playing melodies the traditional way. Try the piano.
Theremin: wave your cursor or finger to bend pitch and volume like the classic sci-fi instrument. Try the theremin.
1. Tap pads on the beep board to hear each sound.
2. Find 3–4 sounds you like — a bass beep, a lead bleep, and a percussion hit is a solid start.
3. Tap them in a repeating rhythm. Short, punchy patterns loop best.
4. Hum a melody over the top, then recreate it on the beep board.
That's chiptune: simple waveforms, catchy repetition, and attitude. Everything you make is yours to keep, including for commercial projects.
Is BeepSynth really free?
Yes. All tools are free with no account required.
Do I need to install anything?
No. BeepSynth runs in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on desktop and mobile.
Can I use sounds I make in my own songs or games?
Yes — anything you create with BeepSynth is yours, including for commercial use.
Why is there no sound on my phone?
Mobile browsers block audio until you tap the page. Tap any pad once and sound will kick in.
BeepSynth is built by Brad Hines of Infinity Mind Labs. Try the Beat Maker for drum loops, or browse all 33 free web apps.
