I have Beatbuddy connected to Ableton Live as a MIDI Master.
Everything seems to work pretty great out of the box. I can control Ableton tempo and start/stop from Beatbuddy, and send the drum track (midi notes) from Beatbuddy to Ableton (into EZDrummer VST). Pausing the drum track with the external footswitch (button 2) also works fine.
Only thing not working is the accent hit from the external footswitch (button 1). I tried checking midi signals with MIDI-OX, and it appears that Beatbuddy is not sending a midi-note when the accent-hit button is pressed. I can hear the accent hit normally from the audio-out of Beatbuddy, but no midi-note is sent as far as I can tell.
Does the midi accent-hit work for you guys? That is, does it send a midi-note as normal? Or is this a missing functionality? Do I have something mis-configured? I’ve got the latest firmware.
