Beat Squad

About Beat Squad LLC

Making pads since 2013.

Beat Squad LLC is an independent music app studio in Yerevan, Armenia. We make Drum Pads 24, Loop Pads, Unmix, Beatmate and other instruments and audio tools for iOS, Android and the web.

01Our story

A phone can be an instrument.

It started with one idea in July 2013. The first Drum Pads 24 shipped on Android with four sound packs, and finger drumming on a phone turned out to be something people wanted to do again and again. The Drum Pads 24 family has since passed 75M+ installs, and its YouTube channel has more than 500,000 subscribers.

From there, Beat Squad grew into a family of instruments and audio tools: Loop Pads, a live loop launcher; Unmix, AI stem separation; Beatmate, a metronome for serious practice; Audio Editor and KLIN Audio for fixing sound; and new instruments like Beat Board and TAAL. Loop Pads, Unmix, Beatmate and Audio Editor now also run free in the browser.

The first apps date back to 2013. Beat Squad LLC was registered in Yerevan on Mar 16, 2022 and develops the whole lineup today.

Everything we make follows the same rule. Open the app, touch something, and hear music straight away. The depth is there when you want it.

Who makes the sounds

Sound packs are produced by the in-house Beat Squad sound design team, by founder Paul Lipnyagov, and with guest producers and DJs such as Enei of Critical Music. Two custom packs were made for the opening ceremony of the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei.
