CheckBeat was developed as an easy-to-use and simple checkbox-programmable sample-based drum machine with a user-configurable resolution from one quarter note to one thirty-second note.

The user can set the BPM (any) and pattern length (up to 16). It was written using DirectX Audio, so you will need to have DirectX 8 or higher installed.
