Beatbuddy not accepting CC:121

Hello, I have been an owner of the Beatbuddy & Aeros for a couple of years now. I just got a MIDI Maestro for my birthday :balloon: and am stoked because what I really want to do is:

  1. switch to a Beatbuddy part without switching the Aeros part
  2. switch to an Aeros part without switching the BeatBuddy part

According to the Singular Sound MIDI Commands document:

CC:121 BeatBuddy Only Transition: This command is meant to behave just like a CC:113 transition command. The BeatBuddy will trigger a transition when a CC:121 command is received you can select which part to go to after the transition by setting the value of the commands of the same number of the part you want to jump to. The transition will continue playing in a loop until value 0 command is received. The Aeros does not respond to CC:121 .”

However, my Beatbuddy will not respond to CC:121. It’s just ignored. The CC:113 command works fine however. Is there a known issue with CC:121, or perhaps there’s a BeatBuddy setting preventing it from accepting the command?

Setup:

 Maestro → BeatBuddy → Aeros
                   ↳ Helix-Stomp  //uses the BeatBuddy clock

Firmware:

Maestro   1.1.9
Beatbuddy 4.1.6
Aeros     5.2.1

@aapo, Thank you very much! Exclusive Transition was indeed disabled. I will now go through all of these settings and make sure I have all the necessary CC’s enabled. I’m very happy I didn’t let the frustration grow on this one.

Rock on! :guitar:
