I just bought and downloaded the groove monkey premium library from singular sound site and wondering where I might locate matched song’s from within the GM premium library? Seems the Song Matching tool only references default and premium librarys, and not sure where I’d find those matched beats inside the GM Premium Library. Was the Singular Sound Premium Library ported to Groove Monkey? And where might anyone find a matched beat inside the GM Premium Library as the GM Beats are not named the same.
Hi mmelore,
The Singular Sound Premium Library has been removed due to a licensing agreement. It is no longer available for purchase and is not accessible on the Song Matching Tool. You can explore the list of content for Groove Monkee here: Groove Monkee Content
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.
Thank you!
I just looked at the content for the Groove Monkey. It seems there are no longer songs, just generic kits. Will the old Premium Library songs migrate to the BB forum song list or are they lost to antiquity? I have no use for what I saw in the GM content. Good thing I already purchased the kits I needed from the Library.

Hi Tom,
Our team is constantly working on the new premium library, but I don’t yet have the list of songs that it will include. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.
Daniel, I just looked at the website where BB content used to reside. I do see the GM MIDI content, but it appears the Drum Set content has been removed along with the SS MIDI beats. Will the Drum Sets be returning that were there before or something new for drum sets?
In another post you had mentioned the old Premium content was removed due to licensing issues. Does this licensing issue in any way affect the use of the content such as playing in a public venue or selling of music created with Premium SS beats? Was the licensing issue due to the beats having names specific to artists or bands or is it a licensing/copyright issue with the original creator of the content (who may have parted ways with SS)?

Hello
For licence agreement reasons, there is no longer songs available. Does the Groove monkey offer songs with more than 2 parts in a matching tool spirit? Because the matching tool with the standard library is based on only 2 parts songs no?
Thanks
Here’s what one of a Groove Monkee’s song structure looks like in the BBMO (the recommended applications) and the BBM.
The suggested settings from the Song Matching tool pretty much allow the flexibility for users to either build the song with a multi-part structure or a one-press set up.
The screen shots are of The Grange song from the Groove Monkee GM_Classic_HR 70s folder.
If you chose to use this song as your starting point, you would duplicate or export/import to edit it to your taste with say, Intro, Verse, Chorus and Outro. You would have the flexibility of changing the tempo, the drum set and to move the song parts (or copy them within the song) around to include deleting the parts that you don’t want or need.
This is a screen shot of suggested settings from the Song Matching tool for a similar song
Thanks for the complete answer.
I am the kind of BB user that will not take the time to work on the BBMO/BBM or on the computer. In that spirit, I would prefer to purchase a pack, with all included and ready to use.
Does the Groove monkey permits to improve the matching tool flexibility compare to the standard SD card pack coming with the BB when you buy it? And does Groove Monkey include ready to use songs with one press set up songs or otherwise, multi part structure songs ?
It certainly does.
The Groove Monkee content is all multi-part; there are no one-press songs.
Based on your not wanting to spend a lot of time building songs using the BeatBuddy (BB) applications, here’s what I would suggest:
- Download the Standard Default 2.1 content and take it for a test drive using the BBMO app. Try out some of the suggested Song Matching tool suggested settings for some songs that you like. If that’s good enough for you, move forward with buying the BeatBuddy (BB).
- Download and test some of the one-press songs from the forum. There are songs with just drums, songs with drums and bass and songs with drums, bass and other instruments.
- If you find that the first two suggestions aren’t working for you, try the Groove Monkee content.
I think it goes without saying that you will have to spend time practicing with whatever your choice ends up being—there is no simple and easy solution.
UPDATE.: Here’s a link to the list of Groove Monkee Mega Pack content: Mega Pack for Beat Buddy – Groove Monkee
Are the pack 1 beats are included in Groove monkey?
They are not included.
Before they were song names in the premium library.
Today, how do we know what we buy?
I was using matching tool, with standard SD card. It says for Confortably numb use ballad 1 in Standard Library. But it is not in the SD card.
Where is hidden that ballad 1? Why matching tool let think it is thee?
For the Groove Monkee content, you can read the list (click on the link in blue text) in post 10/13, above.
Ballad 1 was a part of the old Premium Library Content and also for the BeatBuddy Mini. I think that might have been a mistake when it was originally posted to the Song Matching Tool. You could also try Rock 1 at 62 bpm.
