A musical instrument for everyone, in the truest sense of the word.
Playtime believes that making music is a creative, engaging, and fulfilling activity that everyone should experience at least once in their lives.

myTRACKS is a full-featured music production studio designed to maximize durability and portability while eliminating complexity.

Let the party begin!
Explore the built-in variety of sound sources and drum kits in five tracks. Then use the two levers to add effects and modulation. Start by sampling some sounds with the built-in microphone and build your song. Use the hundreds of built-in melodies and drum loops for creative inspiration, or layer your own sounds on top of them to play and record.

myTRACKS is designed to keep the key and style of the song consistent in each set, making it easy to bring all the elements together into one great sound. In addition, the powerful randomization feature allows you to instantly create new patterns for endless fun and inspiration.

Functions
5 tracks
One track is dedicated to drums. The other 4 tracks can be used to play instruments or sound effects. It is also possible to set myTRACKS as a 5-track drum machine.

48 instruments
myTRACKS features acoustic instruments such as guitar, orchestral instruments, piano, organ, and percussion, as well as synthesizer instruments. Several of them feature playful sound sources inspired by samplers used in old-school HipHop.

17 Sets
Each set features 25 different sequences or drum loops, assigned to one of the 25 pads. The pads are also assigned notes in the same key as the sequence in that set. This makes it easy to play notes that go well with the sequence on the pads. It is also possible to generate and save a set from scratch using the record function.

11 drum kits and 85 drum loops
All loops can have drum kits applied to them, allowing for endless beats to be explored.

Two effects processors
Each effects processor is controlled by levers on either end of the unit. Each of the five tracks can be assigned to two effects.

Infinite Samples
Endless samples can be recorded on a single playpad or spread across all notes in a track. In this way, you can record multiple one-shot samples to a single track or precisely pitch-shift a single sample to all notes on a track. This allows you to play melodies with samples. Samples can be recorded to multiple pads using long and short samples. The total time available for all samples is approximately 42 seconds. Samples are automatically normalized and silence trimmed for high fidelity and ease of use. Samples are designed to be stored in the moment, so they will be stored even if the power is turned off, but they will not be stored with the set or instrument.
