Any time I edit this file in BB Manager the bass notes get long. I tried to import it into my DAW and it failed. Any way I could get an update. I was trying to replace intro and near end silence with closed hi-hats.

If I still have the MIDI source, I’ll update it.

A couple of takeaways worth mentioning:

  • editing a one-press song in the BeatBuddy Manager (BBM) usually causes issues such as you’re reporting
  • using the BBM to Export to MIDI is also fraught with issues. The MIDI file is intermittently corrupted.

Ever get the feeling that software development moves at the speed of darkness? :thinking:

Thank you @persist for doing this song. I am using the DOP file and the snare sounds rather ‘electronic’ versus a standard snare drum. Is that intentional or am I perhaps using the wrong drum set? I did download the SUB-Standard Pro Plain set but maybe I am doing something wrong. Thanks in advance - great file.

Thanks for the positive comments. I’ll take a look at the song in the morning and close the loop with you.

It was intentional as that was how I transcribed it from the MIDI source file however, it’s an easy edit using the BeatBuddy Manager (BBM) MIDI Editor. I moved the Electronic Snare (MIDI ID 40) to Snare (MIDI ID 38). Here’s the edited song:
