Hey all. I’m happy to announce that I feel “ready” to release this app to you as a “beta”.
Here’s the URL to the github repo. The source is open, lmk if you decide to tinker with it or add to it. I would appreciate credit if you use it in any way.
To use it: You’ll have to have all of the requirements.
a computer
a beatbuddy with midi cable
python3
To install it:
download the source .zip file from the Github link above
unzip the goods
cd to the folder, run pip install -r requirements.txt
run python ./start.py
This will open a config page.
pick your Midi Input from the dropdown
pick your Midi Output from the dropdown
copy paste or type the path on your computer to your beatbuddy collection home directory. It’s the one where you’d sync from beatbuddy manager to your computer. It’s also the one containing the SONGS , and DRUMSETS folders
Submit and you should see the collection (if the web pages for config or the collection are not seen, check your firewall settings for allowing access to ports 5000, and 8000)
There’s a lot to play with in this. I’ll leave it here so you can tinker and ask questions.
I am in. I will need sometime to get my head around this. Had to undergo a surgery and so not very close to all this. I will keep you posted on my progress with this testing.

Ignore… I did not have python installed. Installed python and working like a charm…
I’ve actually been able to prepare a windows stand alone exe file for download. You don’t need python, pip, or anything more than a BeatBuddy, a copy of the SD Card on your PC (usually where you’ve copied to with BB Manager), and a midi cable to your BB.
