"Auto-Advance" Setting for Playlist Hands-Free Use

BeatBuddy Feature Requests
1

Hi Singular Sound Team,

I am a BeatBuddy user and I would like to suggest a new feature for a future firmware update.

Currently, moving to the next song requires either a physical press on the pedal/footswitch or a MIDI command triggered by a manual action (like swiping a tablet). For solo performers who want a completely “switch-free” experience, it would be incredibly helpful to have an “Auto-Advance to Next Song” setting.

The Feature Idea:

  • Behavior: When a song ends (either naturally or after an outro), the BeatBuddy automatically cues/loads the next song in the current folder or playlist.

  • Benefit: This allows performers to keep their hands on their instruments and their feet still, with the pedal ready to start the next song immediately.

I believe this would be a game-changer for musicians who want to minimize “tap-dancing” or tablet interaction during a set.

Thank you for considering this.

Hello,

Thank you for posting your feature request! I’ve forwarded it to the team for consideration.

To expand on this…

Maybe a setting for the number of seconds before the next song automatically starts. This would allow time for those if us that need to change instrument and pedal settings.

And i would suggest this can be added to the pedal setup [auto-advance Y/N, Seconds =1-9] so a player could change it on stage for various sets without having to reload from bbmo.

Just to clarify: I meant that the next song cues up automatically and is ready with a press. I would be happy to press start to begin that cued beat whenever I/ the user is ready.
