![]() While you can indeed find the MIDI files used by shipped songs (if I am recalling it properly, they reside in “%WORKSPACE%\default_lib\midi_sources” directory, where %WORKSPACE% is a directory that you’ve set when installing BBManager content), editing those MIDI files won’t do shit, as you will need to manually import them back to their position in BB songs with BBManager afterwards.Ĭurrently this is pretty hard to do. ![]() The MIDI files are currently packed and stored in internal proprietary formats that is intended to be parsed only by BBManager. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to edit the BeatBuddy content. Is there a way to play a loop while lowering the velocities to hear the changes as you make them? (I haven’t tried yet) Where are the MIDI files located within the structure of the BB software? I think I can just adjust the brush set to soften the toms and remix the whole set a little then add MIDI files with the beat structure I’m looking for and that will work for now I’m just uncertain yet how to do that. I’m anxious to get to know this creative stuff well enough to fly solo. ![]() We play often for the seniors doing oldies but then other gigs we are playing top 40 type stuff and 50’s, 60’s, 70’s music too so I need more variety. I also play a lot of Big Band Swing style, Bassa Nova and easy listening stuff on occasion beside the typical rock stuff. The drum fills on most of the BB are too loud and busy for soft ballad music. The BB has great sounds just that I need a few softer sets for Diana Krall type jazzy soft brush sets. In the future I’d like to create my own or download from someone’s drum sets until I find the unique sounds I’m looking for. I’ve used all of the Roland Drum machines and a few others and currently have what I want beat wise on those that I could record the MIDI main beats to build from. ![]() If there is a Garage Band user or a user of Logic ProX or perhaps another inexpensive drum software for creating beats out there I’d be interested in hooking up with them. I used MIDI in the 80’s extensively so I have an extensive background in MIDI from years ago but would be rusty. I downloaded BB 1.33 newest version, I originally only saw the BB software but I had to have a Windows friend help install it as it didn’t want to work at first but we got it working. I am a Mac user for the last 15-20 years so Windows is difficult and clumsy for me. Simply put, you will probably want to use BPM’s in 100 - 150 range as well as set Queue Period to no higher than 50% to use this technique much more easily. But this exact situation was being evaluated carefully while beta-testing, and this behavior was specifically chosen as it is the most flexible one. This solution may seem somewhat flawed, as if you use 75% Queue Period and, let’s say, 200+ BPM 4/4 time signature, you will probably never ever be able to initiate a transition (as you will be holding the pedal for far too little time!).
