Any time a video starts with “hey everyone”, i dislike and click don’t recommend this channel.
They need a rock version. A metal version a country version …..I don't want half the presets…unusable
I can't understand why Singular Sound's website (shopify?) has priority shipping and they haven't shipped my Beatbuddy order for a week and a day. I've never experienced such poor customer service in my lifetime of ordering on the web. I'm done doing business with a company that hides behind email and can't resolve their shipping and billing problems. Now, I have to file a dispute with my credit card company.
How can Singular Sound expect to stay in business with such poort business operations?
These are cool, but you cam dsrn ear get an actual programmable drum machine for that price.
Quantized can sound less human. ????
Does it have Punk beat? Or aggressive beats like Thrash?
How to balance and keep each style at the same volume? because each style has high dynamic volumes for some styles and low for others…. for example, I connect my beatbuddy mini 2 directly to the soundboard… I use the ROCK style, I adjust the volume…. but when I change it to FUNK or BLUES the volume is lower and interferes with the performance when playing live… because I'm using it in bars and events with voice and guitar.
Can I use the Mini 2 to perform solo, or as a duo?
So after every song you got bend over and get the next song ready? Or can it be programmed somehow
why you pronounce bee buddy ?
Can you save settings on the mini 2?
Hoping there have been some updates. I do solo work with a looper, effects, and drum machine, and my needs are minimal for drums. I just need simple drum sounds where I can set the tempo, have at least one offering in time signatures beyond 4/4, and ability to turn it on/off with a remote switch. So I've been using the drum sounds in a Zoom multi effects unit (G2NU) and it sounded fine, but I figured the beat-buddy mini would be at least marginally better, not to mention smaller (since I don't use the ZOOM for any effects). So I tried one many years ago, back 2016 but ended up returning it because its low-end (bass) sound was pretty poor. I would have kept it but I really had no way of adding as much base and low end EQ as it needed without resorting to yet another graphic EQ pedal. 2016 was a long time ago, so its hard to recall exactly. But the sounds in your demo (for the mini_ seem a whole lot better. I know the old one had no EQ controls, but do you think the overall EQ has been improved since the original unit? (Maybe this is a better question for the manufacturer?

hey! can you control the BB via a midi footswitch?
I was considering getting the Mini 2 for late night practice/jamming but no headphone jack on the Mini 2 is a deal breaker.

Can you create set lists for your life performances?
Both of these units sound quite good, but I'm just hearing the comparison on my computer. So, am I right in assuming that the BeatBuddy has a better sound quality than the Mini2 based on 24-bit compared to 16-bit? You mentioned non-quantized beats vs quantized beats, but you didn't mention what that difference actually means. How does that affect the sound quality, or does it? For me, we are talking about double the price here. If the Beat Buddy is much better, sound wise, then the mini 2, perhaps I can stretch my account a little more than it has been. It's important that this device adds better realism to my practice sessions. I don't want others in our practice sessions to beat me over the head with the BeatBuddy/Mini 2 because I purchased the wrong one????. Much mahalo!
Can you play backup files or complete sets of song on the Beatbuddy pro?
Hi, am looking to purchase the BB Mini 2, coz BB quite expensive.
But can I create and add my own drum beats with BB MINI 2 ?
Do any of these pedal drum machines have the ability to take custom beats and sounds? That would be so much better to actually do some creative stuff especially with a looper pedal.
What about making a show set, for example 5 different beats styles and speeds, is there a difference? And when making a set list can you save different beats at different speeds
Will the Boss AB-2 foot switch work with Mini II ?
Diggest diff to me is the Quantization
Mini 2 How much?
if im in 4 4 time and going from a ballad to a up tempo song , can change the tempo without having to turn a knob
I no longer play out, or record in the studio, but I still love to grab my guitar and jam in my home when the mood strikes. I have a small home studio, and I do have drumming software on my computer, but I purchased the BeatBuddy in order to play and record without having to access my computer. I also wanted something that I could trigger easily from my pedalboard.
Can I just say, this device has changed the way I play and record at home. The BeatBuddy immediately found a home on my pedalboard right next to my loop station and I am sure it will not be moving out for a long time, if it moves out at all! By the way, don't get me started on how versatile it is!
Now, I cannot compare it to the mini 2 because I have never owned the mini, but I can certainly say that I am very happy with the BeatBuddy that I did decide to buy. And for the asking price, this machine is an absolute beast! And, at this price, you're also getting a whole lot of drum machine for the money!
I would highly recommend the BeatBuddy for anyone looking to get solid, realistic drumming sounds, at any level. I cannot see how anyone could be disappointed buying this piece of equipment.
Hmm????
There is a huge different here between the two models regarding stereo vs. mono!
Thank you. Sorry meant to say do they both have the polka beat?
does it have a polka beat?
No matter what I’ve tried I cannot get MIDI Sync to operate on my BB. Yes, I know the correct settings and I’m very familiar with MIDI and use it all the time. I wonder if any other BB owners have this issue. I’m thinking mine is either a lemon or a small ribbon connector internally was never attached.
Beat Buddy mini can't load additional content?! man u must be kidding me, only 5 rhythms by genre?! only 5?! man pls kill me, MOOER Micro Drummer offers at least 11 rhythms per genre. Now, beat buddy mini can't change the time signature?! you kidding me again?! your mini version is too expensive for what it can do and the normal version might be cool but it still very expensive, I need to find anything else
