Jam

Backing tracks in ten styles, from Rock, Blues and Funk to Jazz, Bossa Nova and Neo-Soul, in any key and tempo. Mute any instrument and play its part yourself.

๐ŸŽš๏ธ

Split Any Song

Import a song and Downbeat splits it into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and the rest. Turn your part down and play it yourself.

๐ŸŽผ

Chords, Key & Tempo

Follow the chords as the song plays, with what's next shown ahead. Key and tempo are detected automatically.

๐Ÿข

Slow Down & Transpose

Practise at a slower speed without changing the pitch, or shift a song into a key that suits your voice or tuning.

๐ŸŽจ

Make It Yours

Pick any colour for the whole app, from Ember orange to Ocean blue. Even the app icon follows.

โ˜๏ธ

Synced Everywhere

Your songs and settings follow you across iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud account.

On-Device Song Splitting

Take the bass out. Play it yourself.

Downbeat runs a state-of-the-art source separation model directly on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Your music never leaves your device, and once a song is split it's yours to practise with, even offline.

Turn any track down, solo it to learn a part by ear, or remove the vocals and sing over the band.
