Singular Sound Beatbuddy Footswitch Tutorial

In this video, I take a close up look at the Singular Sound BeatBuddy Footswitch and how it interacts with the BeatBuddy Pedal. This is an essential add on to your BeatBuddy setup that will give you maximum control and creativity over your BeatBuddy session. Using the footswitch will give you easy access to tap tempo, changing to half time or double time, triggering accent hits, and so much more.

0:00 Intro
0:44 Setup
1:27 Default
2:40 Change the Accent Hit
3:56 Tap Tempo
5:27 Half Time
7:03 Conclusion

In the coming weeks, I'll also show you how to use the Footswitch with the BeatBuddy Mini 2 and the MIDI Maestro. Enjoy!

This one was a lot of fun to shoot. Had no idea the Footswitch did so much with the BeatBuddy. It does so much that I'm going to need to shoot a couple of additional videos to include the BeatBuddy Mini and MIDI Maestro.

I just bought one of these and was perplexed at the lack of documentation. The manual is very brief. This video was fantastic and helped me to decide keep the unit.

OMG! I had no idea all this could be done. I’ve had the pedal for about five years. lol. Duhhh. Thanks for all the super useful info!

thanks for posting this, you just saved me a lot of headaches, i got the BB a few days ago and got the foot switch today, didn't follow the instructions as close as I should of and both of my switches were acting like a crash sybil .... you talked me through it and off the ledge ..Thanks

Very helpful. Thanks. I just purchased a 10th Anniversary BeatBuddy but didn't order the footswitch to go with it. I saved it to my wishlist at Thomann, so the next time I'm ordering something inexpensive from them, I can add the footswitch to get the total over 75 € for free shipping.

I recently got a BeatBuddy. Thanks for the video going into the many details of programming!

My BB and Footswitch arrive tomorrow. As you can imagine, I've been soaking up video tutorials at every opportunity. I have to say that yours are among the very best; they are clear, concise and with excellent production values. Great work. Subscribed.

Thanks really, one of the best tips that helpd me

[tiagodeman]

Very good! Só curious to see the external foot switch with the midi maestro! Keep it up man!

[cjpearceyt]

Great video - is it possible to set it to start without the fill intro?

[stringman]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to use a boss GT3 pedal board thanks colin uk 🇬🇧 👍 🙏

[jeffeverett]

What I do is set the footswitch operation to what I want each switch to do when I step on the switches, then I put the beatbuddy up on the table right by me so I can see the dam thing and switch through everything with the footswitch on the floor ....works great! But of course you will need a longer cable to connect them!!🎶🎶🎶🎶

[jackrorystaunton]

a video on any ways to use the footswitch+ to improve BB control over Aeros?

[geraldlattka]

will beat buddy work with . Digitech FS3X 3 Button Foot Switch ... any videos of you doing a tutorial with it.. thanks. I don't really want to buy ANOTHER footswitch. thanks

[michaelheller]

I just got the beat buddy, now I have to get the footswitch to make it complete, I love the beat buddy though.

[footchain]

with the BB + the footswitch - can you move BACKWARD with your drum parts? example - if you had 3 drum parts within your song, I understand how you can advance from part 1 to part 2. But can you move from part 2 back to part 1? or from 3 back to 2? or can you only advance forward? (using the footswitch?)

[slavazavalin]

Thank you for your video! I am not sure if anybody asked you this question or not -- why do we need to buy proprietary footswitch? Can I just use one of my spare ones? Thank you!

[Doghowseman]

I have a beat buddy mini 2. Had it a few years. Lent it to a friend he used it fine. I bought the foot switch for it. Took it to him. One day he tried the machine and it had no display. Can you turn on and off the display by mistake. Can you screw up the contrast and if so how do you adjust it

[jimflom]

Does the Pause feature also pause the Aeros? I'd think so but can't find doc or video showing this.
