From the BeatBuddy 2 Manual:
While Playing
Sets what the BeatBuddy 2 does if the footswitch is tapped while playing. If the footswitch has Act as Master Control enabled, this option will be greyed out.
- No Action - Does nothing when tapped
- Accent Hit - Plays the accent hit when tapped
- Tap Tempo - Sets tap tempo when tapped. We recommend at least 3-4 taps to get an accurate reading from the tap tempo.
- Pause - Pauses when tapped. If you want the same button to unpause, make sure you set the While Paused behavior to unpause.
- Mute - Mutes and unmutes when tapped. Muting will silence playback without stopping the song.
- Outro Fill - Plays an outro fill when tapped. A good solution to avoid double-tapping to play the outro/stop the song.
- Next Part - Starts and completes a transition to the next part. Hold to loop the transition and release the pedal to finalize the transition at the end of the current measure.
- Previous Part - Starts and completes a transition to the previous part. Hold to loop the transition and release the pedal to finalize the transition at the end of the current measure.
