Wow. The uses for a S60 smartphone just keep on growing. AAS friend Saku Tiainen has just released BeatEd, a full, professional drum sequencer/machine - just plug in your headphone lead from your smartphone into an amp and you're away! Break out your guitar and start rockin' out. Links and video demo below the break, enjoy!
Read on in the full article.
Brilliant idea and superbly executed. Top work Saku ! 😊
now this is awesome!! i'm a drummer so i will be downloading this app ASAP😊
That is a seriously cool piece of coding!
It seems that it would be a relatively small leap to implement a full MOD tracker on S60, especially considering the Amiga demo heritage of the author's group... 😊
wow just wow. whats next some fruity loops action?
....nice one ! Been looking for a decent metronome for ages....now got a drum machine as a bonus 😊
Fantastic! Fist steps on what I hope is a Bhajis Loops solution for S60 devices. I would pay any money to get a full sequencer back in my pocket!!
wheres zxon... sounds up his street too?
You can now add the Nokia E61 to the list of supported devices. Nice work!
That's really cool. I'm not a drummer (yet!), but it looks like fun...
I've been waiting for something like this to pop up since I got a Symbian phone. Excellent!
I really like this beat-sequencer, for people who still have an old symbian device (like me n-gage 😊, there is a full tracker from http://slajerek.demon.pl/mobitracker/, i am not sure if the developer will be happy i posted the link here, but this software may not be unnoticed 😊 I hope Saku/byterapers will make a full tracker from BeatEd, so we can use new devices (allthought i still love my n-gage)...

Works flawless on Nokia 5500 so you can add that device to your list!
A real killer app, easy to learn and works like a charm!! Should be in the pocket of all musicans! 😊
Also works great with N81 8GB. The application is very polished and usability is fantastic!

Nice one Saku - i'm approaching my 40's and can clearly recall looking at Roland drum machines as a teenager, lol, now i can have it on my phone(s), its tested and working well on my N95 and my N73, both phones have the latest firmwares too.
Keep up the good work!
