Rather than use the BBM, consider using the BBMO to accomplish what you want. It’s all possible. You can really help yourself by reading the BBMO User Manual
To have a song with just the plain beat, you use the BBMO to edit the beat.
- Create and name a new folder
- Duplicate the beat
- Move the duplicated beat to your newly created folder
- rename the duplicate beat, change the tempo, drum set, etc
- delete any or all of the fills (Intro, Drum, Transition and Outro) and just leave the Main Beat(s); see p14, item 11 shows the general idea of how to delete a fill
º select the fill to be removed
º click the Trash can icon and move on to the next fill
º save project often as you go along
º if you made a mistake, you can use the BBMO Undo as many times as needed
º preview your work and if it’s what you want, Sync to SD Card
If you’re trying to add songs or beats without using the BBMO, you are headed for trouble (possibly a corrupted project). ALWAYS use the BBMO to manage the content of your BeatBuddy (BB) system.
