Could someone please update the BB Midi Commands List so I can figure out what options there are for all the new CC’s? In the meantime, can anyone explain CC-121 and the options for it, please? I have no PC at the moment due to real life having it’s way with me. I need to see if I have to go to someone that has one. Thanks in advance.

Hey there all new MIDI functions are in the changelog:
CC121 is the same as CC113 but the Aeros does not respond to it
Also, the BB MIDI commands list will be updated once the firmware is no longer in beta!

Same as CC-113 in that there are values for next part, previous part, and then any of parts 1 through 6? What are the values?
And sorry about the demand for you to update the spreadsheet. I just want everything now. You know, just like all of your best customers. 
I’m desperately waiting for the feature that lets you ‘re-name’ a song from using the l/r/u/d keys and the knobs (i.e. select character, scroll thru alphabet, etc., etc., then ‘save’), and ‘not’ have to connect to a PC/Mac.
My BOSS GT-1 Guitar Modeling pedal allows this, so i know it’s should just be a software modification.
Ah - GREAT - these features I was desperately looking forward to have included for a long time - thanks so much … keep the options coming!!

Any word on allowing program and control command out function to control other devices?
- Added Midi In CC:121: Exclusive transition (this was added so that you can transition on the BeatBuddy without transitioning on the Aeros).
Awesome. If I didn’t have a gig tomorrow I’d update. Partly solves an Aeros question I had.

Is CC-121 reliant on CC-113 value - 0 to complete a transition? Or is there a CC-121 value - 0? I do not understand when you say it’s the same as CC-113.
i use onsong to control beatbuddy. I just click on a song on onsong and the song is called on beatbuddy. after i updated beatbuddy this system stopped working. should i change some parameter??

I tried 4.1 for about 30 minutes, then I reverted to 4.0. I’m not digging the new “Transition Forgiveness”. I don’t use any one-press beats. I like to hit transitions myself. I spend time rehearsing when to hit transitions in each song, and I had gotten used to how Beatbuddy was doing it, previously. I have some songs where I actually do intend to hit my MIDI Maestro button on the first beat to get the full transition fill. Also, I can no longer use part select to start a song on a part other than part 1. It does no intro, or sometimes starts on a different part. That feature was good for doing a pick-up song where I haven’t had time to arrange the song properly in Beatbuddy Manager.
I wish you had given “Transition Forgiveness” an on/off toggle in the options menu.
I’ll just stick with 4.0 for now. I love Beatbuddy; thanks for listening!
Only issues so far are that occasionally my foot switch button 1 (set to pause / unpause) will occasionally pause / outro!
Also, my button 2 (set to accent when paused) sometimes play the accent and sometimes doesn’t.
Also, I understand that the answer to my next comment lies in the midi pedals… but… it would be nice to support a three button switch now that there are many things that can be done with the foot switch.
For example, I really like putting the transition as a single step on the foot switch. I also love having the outro as a single press on the second switch… but then there is no ability to pause (as far as I see).
I’m really upset, because after I upgraded the beat buddy my onsong stopped controlling the bb through midi, I don’t know why, I didn’t do anything different, I didn’t change any parameters. I downgraded to the previous firmware, where everything worked perfectly for me, but it still doesn’t work, I’ve tried everything here, can anyone help me with this?
i just wish that when i select a song on onsong the same song is selected on bb. 3 days ago everything was working correctly, but after the upgrade it stopped working. and now not even as the previous firmware returned to work .

I am concerned about the “transition forgiveness” too. A lot of premium songs have full bar transition fills where it’s quite different from the main beat. For example, Last Dance with Mary Jane has a full bar at the end of the chorus with a big kick/crash/snare on 1, then a gap, then a fill on beats 3 and 4. I hit the transition button exactly on beat 1 to make it work. It sounds like transition forgiveness will kill that workflow?
Can these midi changes affect the onsong connection with beatbuddy via bluetooth midi?? because I can’t make it work anymore

Maybe it is a coincident and your midi cable is defective, measure with a multimeter if all connections are still intact

I have the same question. Replaced 113 with 121 (127 on, 0 off) and it doesn’t fulfil it’s promise.
Don’t like transition forgiveness. Messed with my prerecorded Aeros loop so it wasn’t synced. Assume that was the cause as it’s never happened before.

The transition forgivness makes transitions feel different. I didn’t care for it. When it’s “forgiving” something, it maybe stays in time, but it sounds clumsy just throwing in the next part with no transition fill. I use the MIDI Maestro to transition out of a pause with the transition fill. This update messes that up. Going back to the previous firmware version gave me my feel back.
