Download issues with songs on the forum

So I have a problem, I have all of the packages and drum sets etc. so everything that BB do for their pedal. so 2 questions please.

Why when I download a beat or song from the forum do I hear bells and whistles etc. and when I go into edit there are some, often many that are red saying not available.


In the user download part of the forum I can't see how to download the files as there is no link etc.

I am new to BB some may just be missing something simple. help please.

There was a server issue where all attachments posted before November 2017 were lost

Check this post to see if the file you’re interested has been re-uploaded. The team are currently in the process of cleaning these up.

The best you can do for these files otherwise is to reply to the original thread asking for the file to be re-uploaded. The original author or another user may be able to re-upload the file.

I can’t be definitive, but it is probably because the file has been converted from a midi file found on the internet. The source file will using General Midi (GM) drums that do not map exactly to the BB drumkits. If an instrument is in the midi file and not the BB kit, then you will see the *Not Supported* label in the midi editor. If you are hearing all the right instruments in BBM or the BB then you don’t need to worry about the unsupported notes, although i’'ve noticed that they sometimes cause an issue where the instruments do not line up with the correct line in the midi editor.
