Portable Luminous Rhythm Makers

Travel with the Beat Thang and Make Music Wherever You Go

— July 22, 2011 — Art & Design
Inspiration often hits spontaneously, so when you have a melody in your head that you just have to lay down, Beat Thang will let you do that.

The main attraction of Beat Thang is that it's small, lightweight and portable. Although compact, the machine is packed full of features. It's loaded with 3000 original sounds with hundreds of pre-existing loops, patterns, beats and at least 65 digital effects according to Electronista. With this you can sample, edit and mix on-the-go, as well as play around with other manipulations. It's pretty much a traveling studio that lets you lay down the basics before you head into an actual studio to finalize the details. With the addition of the 3.5 LCD screen display and the luminous glow in the dark, Beat Thang is the total package for beat makers.
