Can Beat Buddy play .wav loops?

I figured out how to use midi files in combination with a drum kit to create a loop, but what about my audio loops (in .wav form, like GoranGrooves). Can these be played by Beat Buddy?

No. MIDI loops only.

Cool. The midi loops sound pretty great and offer a lot of flexibility.

What would be the longest single sample I could trigger in a Beat Buddy drum set?

Not so sure that it’s limited to time but rather the memory size of the wav used in the drum set.

The MIDI in BB is simply triggering “one shot” samples of a fixed length which play all the way through (unless they are choked.)
Why wouldn’t it be possible to load a 5 second loop sample instead of a 1 second crash cymbal sample? Unless BB. has a cap on the maximum sample length?
S

The maximum size of a single drum set is 100Mb, but I’m struggling to get BB to trigger and play a single sample in a drum set of 2 Mb.
Hence the query whether there’s also a maximum size for individual samples?
