While we are constantly updating the general video tutorials for the BBManager here, we decided it will be a great idea to make a special stickied post containing the tutorial for importing library content.
If you have any comments, suggestions, feedback regarding the following tutorial - please let us know in the form of responses in this thread.
Onto the tutorial!
NOTE: I mention at 2:25 that an unzipping utility may be needed to open the zipped files. In Mac computer, this may not be necessary as many of them natively just treat compressed folders as regular folders. If you have a Windows computer and do not have an unzipping utility, here’s a nice little tutorial I wrote on how to get one.
I love the pedal will never play alone again. How do you import a forum members song on to the sd card again? I tried saving it to BB but am not having any luck. I am missing a step or two. Also one of the songs i tried to use says the the file is too big ?
Make sure you are putting the unzipped folders contents on the SD card: DRUMSETS, EFFECTS, PARAMS, SONGS, and the file HASH.BCF - If it does not work, try doing that on a different SD card.
Just purchased and downloaded the new Eagles songs as well as the Ludwig drum set. Sounds great… fills etc in the Eagles for parts between chorus/verse etc. Is this something I build in the BB software and then export to the pedal? Yikes, I hope not. Play/practice time is tight enough. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I got it. Came back to this after taking review your post persist, and taking a break. I wasn’t holding the pedal long enough for the fills to respond. Thanks for the quick reply.
I’ve had occasional problems like yours. When this happens, I quit and reopen the BBM and it usually almost always works–I realize it’s a PITA, though. Other times I’ve tried relaunching the Finder (leaving the BBM open) but that’s hit-and-miss.
I can not figure out how to get to the page where I can import sng. files. I have redone this 10 times today. When I export, it goes to the wrong page and when I try to import I do not get the sng. files with the little beat buddy logo or meme
I think I understand. To make it easy on myself, I export to the desktop. If I’m importing an sng file, I also put it on my desktop so I don’t have to navigate to my Downloads folder.
If that doesn’t work, please try the user guide. If that still doesn’t work, you can try circling back here and provide more specific feedback as to what you’ve tried so far and what’s not working . . . .
You just have to drag DRUMSETS, EFFECTS, PARAMS, SONGS, and the file HASH.BCF directly onto the SD card, in the first window you see when you look at your SD card’s drive. For example, your SD card’s drive could be ‘E:’/‘F:’/‘G:’/etc on Windows (or usually called NO NAME by default on Mac if you didn’t manually rename it), the moment you click on the drive a window pops up, and that’s the window you drag the content into. If you are doing a complete reset or backup to an SD card, make sure you delete everything first.
