Midi Maestro Commands for Genre Selection

[AxelM]

Are there Midi Maestro Commands for BB GENRES? My most tap dancing is done navigating the BB drum styles … enter/exit > Scrolling. Is t would be great to have a page dedicated to 6 drum styles … or 5 and then a load. Reggae, Pop, Ballad etc

And if I don’t ask I won’t find it despite googling and scouring … Where is the Maestro’s midi command charts ??? DOH!

The spreadsheet has the MIDI commands for both the AEROS and the BeatBuddy in separate tabs.

Thanks I did find these. Can you point me in the direction how I’d have the Accent Hits page rather be my Genres Page? Jay mentioned putting in program change commands. For example Reggae would be what command? Pop, Country …

Here’s Jay’s suggestion.

Yes, there is a way. That way would be program change, you would just need to configure the specific MM buttons to send program change commands to the BeatBuddy. I’m assigning this ticket to Daniel, he can assist you with this process.

You need to make a custom mode using the BB template in the Maestro app, and then upload it with the Bluetooth connection

When editing the BB template just replace that particular page with the commands.

For the actual commands I suggest using CC:116 and for the values you just need to check the position of drumset in the drumset list (first will be picked with value 0, second with 1 and so on)

Or do you mean by drum styles the folders in BB?

For that you need to use bank select and program change

[AxelM]

YES I know how to do this. I have 2 Maestros and use one exclusively in CUSTOM MODE to control my HX Stomp. Got it programmed and know how to turn on my phone

NOT DRUM SET I need GENRES> REGGAE , POP , Rock , Country ETC
CC 116 is for drum sets, NOT INTERESTED IN choosing sets like STANDARD LATIN etc

Genres.

I play live shows and play Country, Reggae, Pop, etc. All in one set.

Thanks

My Bad, I meant Genres, I want to select Genres with my Maestro.

@AxelM

I want to select Genres

Could this be the answer you’re looking for:

@aapo

Or do you mean by drum styles the folders in BB?

For that you need to use bank select and program change

By selecting the first beat in the reggae folder for example I’d assume it’s called Reggae 1 After that you can go up and down to select another beat from the same folder (genre)

I think in the manual this is called song select Hope this helps

Hey there,

To learn more about MIDI song select, read more here:

MIDI Song Select (Aeros, BeatBuddy, MIDI Maestro)

All three devices can be used to open songs on the Aeros and Beatbuddy using MIDI, here is a helpful guide on how to do this across devices! Divided into 5 categories: 1. How to set up a song with MIDI Song Select on the Aeros 2. How to open an Aeros song with MIDI Song Select 3. How to automatically open an Aeros song when you open a specific BeatBuddy song with MIDI Song Select 4. How to automatically open a BeatBuddy song when you open a specific Aeros song with MIDI Song Select 5. Beat…

How do I communicate this?

I want my Maestros to have my Custom Beat Buddy Layout wherein the Accent Page looks like this and changes Beat Buddy as follows.

Reggae Rock Ballad
Country R&B Pop

Upon pressing a button (SAY Reggae), it takes me ENTERED into that folder on the Beat Buddy Say press Reggae and Beat Buddy is at Reggae 1. At the same time in changes to a page on the Maestro that looks like this

Scroll Up Tempo Up Double Time
Scroll Dwn Tempo Dwn Half Time

As a live performer, I AM NOT using songs on AEROS. Not Maestro to Aeros … Maestro to Beat Buddy.

Help please?

[AxelM]

Yes precisely
I want my accent page to look like this … or a blank page as I see there are more than 5 pages:

Reggae Pop Ballads
Country R&B Funk

Any help will be paid in gold bullion.

How does one do bank select and program change please. Could you give me an example to set a button to Reggae? thanks.

@AxelM

How does one do bank select and program change please

Here is copy paste from this document: (note that it has both Aeros and BeatBuddy MIDI commands on different pages)

MIDI Song Select Song Select
MSB + LSB + PC "MSB value 0-127

PC value 0-127" "You can select a BeatBuddy folder and song with the MIDI Bank Select (combination of CC:0 [MSB] and CC:32 [LSB] and Program Change (PC) messages
Depending on your settings for the Song Select, the BeatBuddy is expecting different things. Go to Main Pedal > MIDI Settings > MIDI In > Program Change to choose the behavior.
Read more in the manual
" 4.1.3

@AxelM

Could you give me an example to set a button to Reggae?

I don’t remember by heart the folder numbers, but Ballad 2 is CC:0 value 0, CC:32 value 0, PC value 0. Now the only thing you need to change is the CC:32 value and you get different folder

CC:0 gets different value only if you have more than 128 folders, and PC gets different value only if you want other than the first beat within the folder

@AxelM

YES I know how to do this. I have 2 Maestros and use one exclusively in CUSTOM MODE to control my HX Stomp. Got it programmed and know how to turn on my phone

I trust you can do also this

[AxelM]

PC Changes if it is Reggae 1 2 3 etc
Can you point me to the default list of Folders in Beat buddy? I changed mine so before I do all the programming I’d like to get back to default folders.

Thanks

@AxelM

default list of Folders

Do you mean this? (The SD card backup)
