If i start a Beat using the Midi Maestro but stop that same Beat using the Beat Buddy itself the MM will still shows “Stop” in the BB Start/Stop window. If I then hit the Stop button on the MM to get it ready to start the next Song/Beat it plays an Outro. This is not what I want as the last song beat had already been stopped
by the BB and the song was over. Now the audience hears an isolated Outro. I know if I force myself to use the MM all the time for starts and stops this won’t happen it will just stop the song without playing the Outro. But on the occasions I do use the BB by accident to end the song/beat I do have this issue. How do I resolve this ?
My suggestion is to use a custom mode for MM where you can assign start and stop for separate buttons 
This way the toggle feature can’t mess things up 
Another option is to start with BB after stopping with BB, but this doesn’t remove the risk of hitting right button at wrong time 
Third option is to move BB to some unreachable place where you can’t press it at all. This way you can use only MM 
Personally I use custom MM mode that doesn’t have start nor stop commands for BB. For those I use BB Currently my MM has following commands:
- Tap tempo
- mute/tuner HX Stomp
- emergency stop BB
- Press button in MobileSheets
- Change page in MobileSheets
- next part in BB
And another page has more MobileSheets/HX Stomp commands, but I rarely use those
I have been thinking of replacing the “next part in BB” with a “pause and immediately fill” which enables me to change the position where count one happens
I’d recommend using the Footswitch+ to switch pages on the MIDI Maestro.
