Well that’s funny because that’s what I did last night but I didn’t think anything happened because it didn’t sync . So after receiving your reply I put it back in the buddy and it did work . Now I will try again what you said and see if it will sync . Thank you again! I can’t wait to begin to build beats as you do . Worship music is not just verse and chorus and out as you know . I want to go deeper into the pedal as you have . We are so far away but connected through Christ . Blessings

Gary Marini hey Gary. I hope you manage to figure it out. Yes you def need more than just 2 parts to get a more realistic drum dynamic for worship. But if the “sync project” doesnt work then just export project each time to your sd card. That will be last resort :)
@michaeltihon34853 жыл бұрын
I hope they add copy-paste functionalities within the editor in the future as well. Editing all by hand is very time consuming. By example, you make a pattern and realize you have to double the bar count to duplicate it and add a variation is now very tedious. It would be much easier with : double the length, then copy-paste the pattern, then edit the new copied one. Still looks like a very basic editor but it's promising :)

Hey Gary...another way to do it is to click File, then Export, then Export Project to SD card. Once your Project on the SD card is the same as the one you are working with on the manager it *should be able to sync. Export the whole project, put it on BeatBuddy to make sure it works, then Put SD card in the Mac again and click open project an select the SD card, then any changes should be able to Sync. Well that is what i will suggest. i hope you manage! :)

Very helpful, thanks. I notice with transitions and fills that if you edit them you lose the crash cymbal in the last bar. Your transition above does not have a crash cymbal at the end of the bar. If I try to add it, it's never in the right place. How do I get around this? or is it a fault in the BB Manager? - I've just worked it out. You add another bar add the crash cymbal on the first count and then change the number of bars back to the original bars. The cymbal crash is hidden but it still plays the crash cymbal - phew! :D

Please explain in more detail. Thanks

Mike hey mike. Thx for checking my video out. Maybe i have mis spoken, but if you left click and hold on any note, you can use the backspace key to remove the digits and then type in your own. Then if you click without dragging the mouse it will repeat that velocity again. I will try and cover it in a future video as well 👍🏻 hope it helps..?

It's a shame Singular Sound can't make a sufficient editor for the Beat Buddy. It is THE biggest let down of the pedal. There is so much you should be able to do with it but they just haven't been bothered to get it programmed. Simple things like cut & paste, split a song so you can save the sections and to play it from the cursor position, not from the start of the song are just some simple examples of what they could do to vastly improve the editor.

Great video, but the process sucks! It appears to be very time consuming. The editor should be more like Garage Band where you can just move instruments around a pad that creates the beats for you. This process seems to be for very specific applications. I would opt to download a midi track for the song, and then create separate midi sections for intro, verse, chorus, etc., and select the drum kit to provide the audio samples to go with the midi. Bottom line... a better editor is needed!

But it will take some trial and error in order to get the level right. Hope this helps :)

I had to replace my project on the SD card all the time cause i was working off a different project on my HD. I ill try make a video about it as well?
