Hello, does it also work with garageband and Mac OS Big Sur?

Try the Catalina version. Big Sur was issued immediately after Catalina, so the Catalina version has a good chance of working. There is no reason that it shouldn’t work in Garageband, but I have not tried it in Garageband, as I run Logic Pro exclusively. One thing to note is that if you have a folder of drumkits saved somewhere on your HD, the plug-in will only read kits that are at the root level of the folder. If you have folders inside of a main drum kits folder, you would need to select the desired folder to see your kit.

V0.0.7 should be working fine in GarageBand both on Catalina and on Sonoma

I would say try out Phil’s suggestion, but try both catalina and Sonoma intel versions if one works, stick with that! This is if you have an intel computer, if you’re on M1 or M2, you would have to use Sonoma M1 version. You could attempt with Catalina on an M1 but that may not work…

Thanks for the question!

Any chance of getting just the VST3 plugin so that I can use it in Reaper or Ardour under Linux? Should just be able to put the VST3 into the VST directory and have it connected. Is there something else that the installer does?

The Beatbuddy (DAW) plugin appears to only have a single output (i.e mono). Is that the expected behaviour? How is the panning of individual drums handled?

OS: OSX Sonoma. DAW: Ardour.

EDIT: This only appears to affect the AU plugin. The VST3 plugin is in stereo.

Can the beat buddy plugin, do what the beat buddy manager can do?
Meaning can I use the plugin to change beats in the Beat buddy?

This is a great start. I’ve been sending midi and recording the BB for years. I’ll have to play with it and see how it sounds compared to BB unit.

I downloaded the macos M1 version of the BB plugin; it says it installed successfully. However, I cannot find it anywhere on my system — M3 macbook pro, macos 14.5. Not sure is I’m doing something wrong, or this is a bug. I was hoping to use as a plugin for Studion One 6.6.

Hi Pierre,

Please send an email to support@singularsound.com with the details, and we’ll help you.

Hi there,
I installed the plugin on a Mac mini to use it in Studio One 6. Oddly enough it looks quite different to the screen shot in this thread.

Hi Georg,

Unfortunately, the plugin is not compatible with Studio One.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

Here is the Studio One Windows version, works perfectly. Thanks.

Hi again,
tried it again today without installing the plugin once more!!! - and the correct gui is visible. :grinning: Sadly the Select Drum-Set Directory button does not work. Anything I can do, to fix this?

Hi Daniel, is that because the plugin is a 32 bit one? Will the final version be in 64 bit and will it work on studio one, cubebase…? Can you give an approximate time, when it will be released?

Please disregard the previous message (now removed), the BeatBuddy plugin is a 64-bit application and this is not related to why it is not working for you, there is likely another reason. Please email support@singularsoubd.com so we can track and troubleshoot your issue.

Thanks

I have an Intel Mac running sequoia 15.11. I got a copy of Abelton lite withe audio interface I purchased. The Abelton version is 12.1.1.

I have downloaded the DAW plugin and installed it.
