I have put my best effort in doing this, so thank you for support my work.
Follow me for updates on what I am creating.
Features:
- Full tactile control over your BeatBuddy using MIDI over Bluetooth or MIDI to USB connections.
- Bidirectional communication between your BeatBuddy and your iPad.
- Includes all the BeatBuddy MIDI and SYSEX implementation based on the current firmware
- Single Tempo knob capable to send a range between 40-300 BPM (this single point has proven to be really tricky, but this layout finally solved it in the most elegant way possible)
- Capable to operate in any MIDI channel and remain operative (something great if you have some others MIDI Devices in your setup)
- Saves your spine! Almost any usual operation can be done from the controller side, and provides many advanced features almost impossible to replicate with a physical controller (unless you use a very big one)
- Wireless option: connect a Yamaha MD-BT01 to your BeatBuddy MIDI Sync cable and begin to enjoy a tangle-free life
- Includes 6 octaves of Pads to play any individual drum sample. They also receive MIDI notes (turn On "MIDI Notes Out" in your BB settings), so it shows the notes playing in Real-Time)
- Easy Folder/Songs navigation, with support for 128 folders X 99 songs.
- Eight Transition Part buttons, allowing for easy non-correlative part changes
- User Setlist: Store up to 128 user presets (Select Folder and Song, then press the "S" button to enter a name and store the preset in the desired location)
- Drum Set selector: Store up to 128 user presets (Select the Drum Set number, then press the "R" button to enter a name and store the preset in the current location)
- SYSEX receive: shows the Time signature of any song (Range [1-32], [1,2,4,8,16,32])
- MIDI receive: shows the current part after a transition (only on channel 1 due to an BeatBuddy Bug. Please read post #7 on this same thread)
- Embedded support for the iRig BlueBoard: 100% Plug&Play! Preconfigured and ready to use.
- Includes a small MIDI implementation to emulate the BlueBoard behaviour using different devices (Airturn, Airstep, etc)
