Strange BeatBuddy (BB) whistle midi sounds at times

BeatBuddy Help, Questions and Bugs
#1

Need some help here:

Been having a great time working with the latest BB pedal with my single act!

I use many of the drum beats already created! Really appreciate the hard work & time you ALL put in to create them and then share!!

2 of them I downloaded is “Born on the BAYOU” & “knocking on Heavens Door”

However. when I play the songs,they play perfect throughout the tune BUT at times when I play the song again, I hear a whistle midi sound playing along with the rest of the tune???

I can get it to stop by powering down the BB pedal & restart the song!

Has anyone else have this happen?

Why does it happen? Can I edit and fix this?

OR is this a bug that needs to be fixed?

Thank you

Wow, interesting. I’ve never had that happen. Might be a problem. Have you thought of reflashing the firmware? Might help…

#3

Are you using the power adaptor that came with your pedal? If not, see if that makes a difference. You can also try a different SD card to see if that helps. Make sure it’s an SDHC class 10 and no larger than 32Gb.

Yes, card is correct & the power cord is the original.

Maybe I’ll try another card! I do have 280 songs on 3 different folders!

To this point it was only those 2songs. I even re downloaded both with the same issue!

Thank you

Yes! Kinda strange! You’ll never know when it happens. I could try re flashing.

If it’s only those 2 songs, try changing the drum set and see if that makes a difference.

Joe in Ottawa’s suggestion to download, unzip and install a fresh copy of the firmware is a great starting point.

Cool! Thx

I’m going to compare the drum set on both and see what happens.

I’ll do a fresh flash

Excellent

Thank you

I noticed that both drum sets were not apples to apples. ie. Latin and Rock for default. I Don’t know this will make a difference but I changed both from Latin to Rock for both. Worth a try. I’ll flash next.

I aprreciate you guys helping. When I gig out and it happens I have that quick workaround to put it back to normal . But I’ll sample both tunes by testing in different scnarios.

But I’ll reflash before testing.

thanks man!!! LOVE THIS PEDAL!!! HOOKED!!!

Yes it likely was just related to the Latin drum set having a whistle sound mapped to that specific MIDI note.
Glad you figured it out!
