Hey there, sorry for the delayed response!
This would require a Song Select Command, but would require a Song selection to work. Song Select commands for the folder and songs are decided by their position in the BeatBuddy file structure.
If the specific song doesn’t matter just open the first in the folder
Read more about using song selection in the manual, here’s an excerpt:
Folder/Song Select
- 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.
Default
- The folder is selected with the Bank Select Message (Bank MSB and LSB) and the song is selected with the Program change. MSB selects the Bank, LSB the folder withing the bank. Every MSB bank has 128 folder each.
- PC command selects the song within the current open folder
- This gives a potential of 128 MSB x 128 LSB = 16,384 different folders with 128 songs each (selected by the Program Change [PC] command).
- The order of the folders / songs are sorted by the BeatBuddy Manager. The order of the folders / songs corresponds to the number used by the MIDI messages +1.
- This means that Program Change (PC) Message must have a value of 0 to select the first song in the menu.
- We know this is confusing – but MIDI was designed by computer nerds, not normal people like us, and computer nerds like to start with 0 instead of 1.
Aeros Mode
- The folder is selected using only LSB 0-110, these correspond to the first 111 BeatBuddy folders. LSB 111-127 open playlists 1-17.
- The order of the folders / songs are sorted by the BeatBuddy Manager. The order of the folders / songs corresponds to the number used by the MIDI messages +1. The Playlist song select starts on LSB 111 which corresponds with Playlist 1.
- This means that Program Change (PC) Message must have a value of 0 to select the first song in the menu.
- We know this is confusing – but MIDI was designed by computer nerds, not normal people like us, and computer nerds like to start with 0 instead of 1.
Default Example:
Folder/Song Bank MSB (CC:0) Bank LSB (CC:32) Program Change (PC) Folder 1 - Song 1 Value 0 Value 0 Value 0 Folder 1- Song 2 Value 0 Value 0 Value 1 Folder 3- Song 3 Value 0 Value 2 Value 2 Folder 129 - Song 4 Value 1 Value 1 Value 3 Aeros Mode Example:
Folder/Song Bank MSB (CC:0) Bank LSB (CC:32) Program Change (PC) Folder 1 - Song 1 N/A Value 0 Value 0 Folder 1- Song 2 N/A Value 0 Value 1 Folder 3- Song 3 N/A Value 2 Value 2 Playlist 1 - Song 1 N/A Value 111 Value 0 Playlist 2 - Song 1 N/A Value 112 Value 0 Playlist 2 - Song 4 N/A Value 112 Value 3 Please note that the BeatBuddy’s song does not change until the Program Change message is received, i.e. bank messages alone are not enough to change a song.
Let me know if this helps!
