Learn how to build and use the ByteBeat Device in No Man's Sky. Get the blueprint, gather materials, and start creating your own base music.
The ByteBeat Device is a programmable synthesizer for your base in No Man's Sky. It costs 10 Salvaged Data to acquire the blueprint from The Anomaly. While it doesn't serve a functional purpose in gameplay, it allows players to create and share music within their bases.
Walkthrough
- 1Get the Blueprint: Visit The Anomaly and purchase the ByteBeat Device blueprint for 10 Salvaged Data. It's recommended to also have 2 Salvaged Data for the ByteBeat Switch and the free ByteBeat Cable.
- 2Gather Materials: You will need 3 Metal Plating, 50 Gold, and 1 Antimatter to craft the device. These are common materials that should be readily available by the time you consider building a ByteBeat Device.
- 3Power Connection: The ByteBeat Device requires a power source to function. Ensure you can connect it to your base's power grid using an electrical cable.
- 4Using the Interface: Once powered, interact with the device to access its interface. The UI can seem intimidating at first, but experimentation is key.
- 5Tweak Settings: Adjust parameters such as waveform (saw, sine, etc.), tempo (default is 115 BPM), and the Arpeggiator settings. The step sequencer at the bottom allows you to add notes.
Tips
- Persevere with the interface even if you're new to synthesizers; you can quickly create rudimentary patterns.
- Other players visiting your base can hear the music you create.
- The ByteBeat Device is purely for creative expression and passing time.
