I hear a measure 2, beat 1 on intros and fills but don't see it

[jguitarguy27]

When previewing fills and intros in the BeatBuddy Manager, I often hear a full measure of fill, with it ending on beat 1 of the next measure. However, opening up the fill in the BBM Midi Editor, it only shows the one measure (not that next “beat 1”). Am I missing something?

Are you highlighting EACH element of the song. I.E. fills, into, outro…etc. unless it is a OP (one pass song) you would not see everything. Have to look at each part seperately

In the midi editor, there is a control that specifies the number of bars (Total Bars Count - yours would say 1 for a 1 bar fill)

Increase that to 2 and you should see any additional beats in the second bar.

How to end a drum fill/transition with a Cymbal crash to start the next song part

I cannot figure out how to do this on a new beat in the BB manager editor or BeatBuilder so it is at the right timing. If you make a 5/4 measure to do this, it will throw the whole song off. Is the only way to do this is manually adding accents with a footswitch on the fly. If you listen to the fills…
