ByteBeat Added as an Audio Creation App to No Mans Sky Music Update

Create Your Own Music in No Man’s Sky With the ByteBeat Update, Full 2.24 Patch Notes Listed

When No Man’s Sky released in 2016, it caused a lot of controversy due to lacking features that were originally promised. But now, over three years later, it’s become one of the most robust games on PS4, with tons of added features, multiple expansions, and nearly endless planets to explore (18 quintillion, to be exact-ish). And now, you’ll have even more to do in No Man’s Sky, thanks to its recent ByteBeat update, which lets you create music. By using the ByteBeat Device, you’ll have a full audio creation application at your fingertips, giving you a chance to party through the galaxy. Other features have been added, too, as part of the 2.24 update.

Hello Games released a YouTube video, explaining more about ByteBeat, which you can view below:

Creation is a huge part of No Man’s Sky, as evidenced by its in-depth base-building features. You can create elaborate structures, with the ability to upload and share them with other players online. With ByteBeat, you can expand your creations with the sound of music. Similar to PC-based audio tools like Fl Studio and Ableton Live, this update will give you the ability to manipulate audio to make sounds and music.

The sequencer is in place to let you arrange sounds, allowing you to add a rhythm track that helps with the song’s structure. ByteBeat also gives you the option of randomizing sounds and lets you to get into the nitty-gritty of audio creation if you so choose. It seems like a full-on digital audio workstation that can be used to create complex songs right inside the game itself.

Below are images of just how in-depth you can get with No Man’s Sky’s new ByteBeat Device:

The in-game application is as complex as you’d like it to be. It features an Advanced Waveform UI that allows users to dive into the math of music-making or play with a more simplified version thanks to its randomizer. A ByteBeat Switch has also been added, which lets you sync your music to other devices in-game, like lights. This ties the whole experience together for a beautiful audio/visual experience.
