So I made simple drum beats for each song, most only have Intro, Verse, Chorus and Outro, with several fills and transitions, including the drumset and bpm. For reducing live adjustments, i prepared 3 folders: a) about 30 basic patterns of all genres b) international Songs (about 90) c) german Songs (about 70). We organize our chordsheets with ipad and forscore-app.

My setup was just “standard”: beatbuddy, beatbuddy footswitch, yamaha bluetooth midi connector. For the first time we used a beatbuddy live. Our repertoir goes from german oldies up to modern pop - just party-music. I play guitar in an acoustic-duo, this weekend we had a 6 hours new-years gig in a little location (50 - 60 guests). I am a beatbuddy-user for about 3 months. Although just now I’m happy with working in the beats to a growing list of songs and generally loving the abilities of the BB pedal. I don’t think I’ll be modifying mine just yet but I will try blue tooth midi control. Thanks for the detailed reply Tim, as a new user I really appreciate the pointers.

I find putting the songs in alphabetical order on the BB makes it easier as our set lists change a lot and we often change it to suit the mood of the audience and as we have a repertoire of about 50 songs now it just makes life easier keeping them in the same order as the iReal Pro music sheets we use. I will put some more pictures of the pedals up when I find the time.

Because I play double bass in some gigs it is really difficult to bend down to change the songs. The result is that I have three low pedals at my feet and the BB on the side of my mic stand where I can see it better and change the songs more easily. I have two new pedals that do the same job as the BB extension pedal, fed from the extension pedal socket. I modified my pedal by replacing the headphones mini-jack socket with a mono mini-jack and wiring it in parallel with the main pedal switch with some careful soldering motivated and guided by another post in this forum somewhere (I keep on losing the link to it!). Also during instrumental breaks I like to have a different beat with more “flowery” fills and the ability to repeat some of the fills with an instrumental solo makes the drums feel more authentic. I like the flexibility for the lead vocalist to turn to me and the keyboard player and say “again” on the chorus and we can just do it straight off. Some songs for my band work best as one press, but not many.

Just one question, can you expand on “I have modified the BB with 3 external pedals”? As I would be keen to see how to make this pedal even better? I personally like the interaction and ability to switch between verse / chorus with fills as and when required (not got to grips with one press…). I’m hoping to get out and play live with my new Beat Buddy, so it’s nice to see somebody doing similar. Also updating the BB memory card sometimes brings up “file not found” errors (I must take a screen shot to show you next time that happens). For instance the actual filename is not read by the BBM, which takes it’s naming from elsewhere in the file.

The software folder/file structure and file naming are a little strange, with an old “Windoze” feel. But because the BB’s output sounds so great, I persevered. The juggling between midi velocity and dynamic volume took some work. Most of the DAWs are too complex and costly. DM1’s midi output files won’t work directly in BB, but can be brought into Liquid Rhythm for a re-save that works. beats (so important for many great songs). I still haven’t solved that one to my satisfaction, WaveDNA’s Liquid Rhythm and Fingerlabs DM1 are part of my toolbox but Liquid Rhythm won’t do 3/4, 6/8 etc. Learning why the excellent fee Beatbuilder.jar app would not edit my purchased latin beats took a little time, then finding a simple midi editor(s) that worked for me took ages. Therein lay a voyage of discovery because the BBM editor is only useful for very minor “tweaks”. I found that most of the supplied beats needed editing, sometimes because they were too “busy” as with most of the jazz and reggae beats but mostly because they didn’t fit the songs I wanted to play. To start off with, learning how to use BB Manager took some experimentation. The delay in my reply is partly due to lots of family celebrations and parties!

Hi Persist, thanks for your Christmas message. It would also be good to hear about how you prepare the beats and drums to support your songs. While you’re thinking about the downsides, please share how the BB as a system-software, firmware, pedal and forum meet or don’t meet your requirements and expectations. Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing your experience with your BeatBuddy, Tim.
