Wotcher! The latest OFFBEAT update is here and all about making more from what you’ve already got.

Chop up old tapes, throw your own sounds into the mix, dig through past creations and turn them into something different and new. With a brand new sampler, new musical objects (including a coffee grinder that definitely shouldn’t be used for anything but coffee) 11 new jobs, guest sample tapes and plenty more to play with, there are now even more ways to make noise.As usual, to celebrate the launch of a new update, we’ve made another wonderful music video for you. Check it out below:

So, what's new?

• Three new musical objects: a sampler for chopping up and recycling your tapes, the strange and slightly haunted Autochord, and a coffee grinder for bitcrush-style distortion.

• 11 new jobs: soundtrack the news, chop up a dumbass CEO's voice memo, record an EP and more.

• The Archive: browse all your old tapes, load them back into the sequencer or throw them into the sampler and turn them into something new.

  • FYI for older songs: Songs created before 03/09/2026 (v1.1.0 - Studio Essentials) may sound a little different when loaded back into the sequencer, as instrument configuration wasn't saved in earlier versions. Your original .wav is completely safe and can still be accessed through your file directory. If you want to edit an older song, you may just need to rearrange which instruments are plugged into each sequencer track.

• Import your own samples: drop audio into the sample_audio folder and load it straight into the sampler.

• Guest sample tapes: The new sampler ready sounds from Alpha Chrome Yayo, dconn and more, from lofi chords and ambient soundscapes to breaks and drum loops

• Mixolydian mode: Dorian's slightly more major cousin has joined the party.

• More notebook content: including sampler sound recipes and a little more music theory.

• QOL improvements & bug fixes: including, finally, left and right arrows on the grid view!

Whether you’re digging through old tapes for something worth bringing back to life, chopping up your own samples or just seeing what happens when you run absolutely everything and anything through a coffee grinder, there’s a whole lot more to mess around with in OFFBEAT.See you in the next update!
