Hi. I’m using CC: 113 Value 126 & 127 to change parts. I need this because I like to just record part 2 and skip straight back to part 1 without playing part 2 (which I’ve just played live). When I switch parts using the normal buttons on the Aeros, I have the option to switch at the end of the loop, which is great. However, when sending MIDI commands to do the same, I seem to be limited to switching at the end of the current bar/measure. This can be tricky to get right. Any suggestions?
This may be adjusted in the “Behaviors” settings. Try setting it to (End of Loop) in the “Change Part” section. Sending “two” separate commands. One to send CC 113 - V 127 for next part or 126 for the previous and (another) command to make the change,
( Send CC 113 - V 0.).
Firmware? 2x2/6x6? Quantized/freeform?
If you already have end of loop set as your change part preference, I wonder if you’re experiencing a variant of the issue reported here:
Latest firmware 5.3.4, 6x6, Quantized. Interesting. It would seem to be related. Thanks for pointing this issue out riddled.
Thanks Dakota. I have it set like that. Works fine with buttons but not via MIDI. It seems it may be related to an issue (see above).
There may be a possible workaround solutions from the Singular Sound user forum ? Program the two-step CC 102 sequence transition from Part 2 to Part 1:Queue the part change: Send CC 102 with a value of 1. You can press this at any point during Part 2. This signals to both the BeatBuddy and Aeros that a transition to Part 1 is pending. Execute the transition: Send CC 102 with a value of 0. This second command is what tells the BeatBuddy to perform its transition fill and, crucially, commands the Aeros to execute the pending part change at the timing specified by your Change Part setting. Since your Aeros is set to “End of Loop,” it should wait for the loop to complete. **Actionable steps for your controller:**Create a single button on your MIDI controller that sends the sequence: CC 102, value 1on press, and CC 102, value 0 on release.For your workflow, simply tap and hold this button to queue the change, then release it to execute the transition at the desired moment. Releasing the button near the end of your Part 2 loop should provide the seamless transition you want.
According to a Singular Sound product manager in a forum post, when the BeatBuddy is the master clock and synced with the Aeros via MIDI, a part change triggered by a MIDI transition command (CC 102) will execute at the end of the current measure, not the end of the loop as set on the Aeros. This behavior is necessary for the BeatBuddy to maintain sync with drum fills, overriding the Aeros’s “End of Loop” setting
Many thanks for the input Dakota, and pointing out another interesting thread. However, with this workaround I’d still have to wait till “near the end of the loop” (I guess that means last measure). I think it’s simpler to carry on as I am with CC: 113 Value 126 & 127, which changes on one controller press without having to hold. I’m intrigued by the last sentence, and wondering how the behaviour could be so different than using the part change button on the Aeros: “This behavior is necessary for the BeatBuddy to maintain sync with drum fills, overriding the Aeros’s “End of Loop” setting”
This is fixed in beta version 5.4.3, previously the Aeros was always switching immediately when CC:113 value 126 or 127 was sent followed by CC:113 value 0

Oh! Another update :o) Great work guys, that’s really good news. So nice to see the Loop Studio getting some love from dev team. Looking forward to trying it out.
