Hi!
If you have an iPad with Quantiloop, and connect it via midi with your beatbuddy, here is a short workaround for nice playbacks made with Garageband (Mac-Version) . The drums coming from the beatbuddy can use fills or transitions – better as being stored within a playback-file. These playbacks can be transposed easy. Changing the instruments, volume adjustment, deleting parts etc can be done in garageband very fast. Here I made “OPB”-Song, next step is splitting up the files to verse, chorus, bridge…

Drag a midi-file on the Garageband Track-Area, Tempo comes from midi-file

Make your adjustments: choose instruments, deactivate tracks (drums, voice melody…). Be sure the song starts on beat 1 (some have long silence at the beginning - cut it at first). Look how many bars the song has.
In this case 104 bars. Export the file (iCloud, dropbox = to somewhere you can download with your iOS-Device). I name the file including BPM and Bars
