BeatBuddy Loader 1.1.1 Legacy
We have a nice incremental update for our BeatBuddy Loader software. For more general info about this software, please see the post of version 1.0 or you can read the new updated manual or printer friendly (less ink) manual
Check out this super useful tutorial on the BeatBuddy Loader software here:
We added some nice features like drag-and-drop support, exporting all content with one action, shortcuts, and more!
This application is meant to make organizing the BeatBuddy content easy and straightforward, like using your own computerâs file system.
Simply pop in your SD card to your computer and use the BeatBuddy Loader to organize your existing project or load existing, default, and/or Premium content onto an SD.
The software also allows easy renaming, moving, and exporting of all supported files.
Easily manage multiple projects seamlessly; back up your content easily and securely, never lose your stuff again!
This software is not meant to be a full replacement for the BeatBuddy Manager, the wav and MIDI files cannot be accessed, edited, or managed like in the BeatBuddy Manager, and there is also no song or Drum Set creation/editing.
Download v1.1.1 the Mac (Catalina 12.15.7) and PC versions here:
BeatBuddy Loader 1.1.1 .dmg (Mac)
