Midi Song Select (Beatbuddy - Aeros)

Having an issue calling up a song on Aeros from Beat Buddy. Referenced the Midi Song Select Use Case Manual but no luck.

Message" Song with MSB: and PC:0 not found" when attempting to open song on Aeros from BB.

Thanks

Please select an already saved song on the Aeros. To have the Aeros open a specific song when the BeatBuddy opens one, follow these steps:

  1. Select the song you want to sync on the Aeros.
  2. Click the Pencil icon and open the MIDI tab.
  3. Toggle MIDI Song Select to ON.

Here, MSB corresponds to the folder (e.g., MSB Bank 0 for the first folder), and use MIDI PC to specify the song within that folder (e.g., 0 for the first song).

With this setup, opening the first song in the first folder on the BeatBuddy will automatically open the corresponding song on the Aeros as programmed.

Please note that you’ll need to manually program each song following these steps. If it doesn’t work as expected or if you need further assistance, please let me know!

Thanks Daniel,
The BeatBuddy is in Aeros mode and attempting to open the songs on the Aeros when opened on the BeatBuddy.
My test case is using Playlist 2 on the BeatBuddy which currently has four songs.
The folder in the Aeros is Setlist 1 with the same songs.

Song 1 = 112/0
Song 2 = 112/1
Song 3 = 112/2
Song 4 = 112/3

Upon further experimentation I am able to open the song on the Aeros from the BeatBuddy folder but not the “Playlist” folders. I tried the “Playlist” numbering convention from one of your previous posts (above) with no success.

Thank you for the details! The Playlist does not send an MSB command. To troubleshoot, I recommend creating a new folder using the BBMO and moving the songs from the Playlist to the new folder. This should allow you to open the songs with the Aeros.

I can open the songs on Aeros from BeatBuddy if I use the Folder location not the Playlist location. If songs cannot be opened from the Playlist Folder, why is it a documented capability?

You can open songs from the first playlist, but songs from the second playlist cannot be opened. To open songs from the first playlist, simply leave the MSB command set to MSB: -.

To be exact, when you open a song from a playlist, the Aeros does not receive an MSB message. Instead, all playlists will forward the following message to the Aeros: MSB: - PC: the number of the song in the playlist minus 1.

That works…a valuable piece of information.

Thank you
