ok guys…turned my whining into something better…figured out how to upload set list and songs to beat buddy pedal from mac…turns out for now the mac doesn’t recognize the beat pedal hard drive (sd card) while sd card is in pedal…so i stuck the sd card into a card reader and then exported project to the card and after that i said yes to future syncs and inserted card back into pedal and voila!!! I HAVE SETLIST AND SONGS ON MY BEAT BUDDY !!!
Wow! That’s great, @Javee333!
I am really happy to hear that from you
Hope you have much more fun with your BeatBuddy now!
Been using my BeatBuddy at church for over a month now and myself and everyone else love the sound and dimensions it adds to the worship…once i figured out how to use the bb manager (thanks psalm40 and Daefecator) it has been non stop creating songs and set lists…since psalm40 encouraged me to create my own beats its getting even better…once your in the manager and just see how the beat buddy works it makes sense and its so easy to create your own songs… Cant wait for the upgrades on the manager and new firmware coming !!!
Any new stuff we can use to update this thread guys and gals?
PD
Unfortunately, only useless stuff like either this post of mine or the one above mine.
XD
well…i have over 19 songs and counting…cant wait for the new release of download manager
This isn’t really required anymore as this is now available

Just needs someone to tidy up “our” area - are you willing?
I don’t really have the time to go and upload almost 100 songs, one at a time, on the new site. I’ll continue to update this thread and if people find it helpful then great, if not oh well.
Now thats not to say, if someone comes along and says there is a quicker way to transfer my work, that Im not willing, I am, I just don’t have the time to do it one song at a time.
PD
There’s no need to upload songs individually. I will happily give anyone access to the database that drives the site - it’s just a GoogleDoc Sheet. If you have the songs listed in a consistent format in Excel, you could easily copy/paste to enter them all at once.
In fact, I will do it for you if you have it in Excel with the following columns/fields separated correctly: Song, Artist, BB Beat, BPM, Kit, Notes. If you’re typing it all out anyway, no reason not to do it in a way that we can continually grow and add to.
Best,

I’ve also been using the site to catalog P40’s excellent tutorials and many of the performance videos people have posted here. I’m trying to build it up as a community resource. If anyone else here wants posting rights, feel free to let me know. I love this product, and I’d like to see it thrive.
This would be great if a few worship leaders put things up. I just got my BB this week … been adjusting the midi parts to help fit songs. This is so fantastic. … how I wished I had this when our church was small with no drummers. I’m willing to help out. I find though that I adjust most preset songs slightly … can we upload .sng to drpbox and also include links so people can use the modified songs?
Today I get to use the BB live at our worship service for the first time. Up till now I have used it weekly at our rehearsal because our drummer can’t usually make it. I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with the pedal and the band really likes it. I’ll check in later with an update on how it went. Set list is Bring the Rain, Today Is The Day, I Will Follow, Keep Making Me, I’ll Fly Away.
So we used the BB for the first time live in worship this Sunday. Overall it went very well. I have the intros disabled so I kick off the song with the pedal and count 4 over it. That seems to work best for us. We had some minor timing issues in the beginning of first song but got back on track quickly. I’d give a B+/A-. I use the songs as-is for the most part with minimal edits.
