Just did the v2.0 content update, via BB Manager (BBM).
The BB is connected to my PC via USB.
BBM seems to talk to the BB fine, and when I unplug the USB I see the Song directories on the BB, and can choose songs and play them.
However, when the USB is connected ( display: USB DEVICE CONNECTED ) I cannot hear the BB at all. Whether I seek to start it by stepping on it, or whether I try to play via the BBM ‘Play’ button, I only get silence. This all used to work perfectly, as I recall, but not now. Hmmm.
If it matters, I have the SS Footswitch connected to the BB also.
So, what could be wrong, and what can I do about it?
My thanks to anyone who can provide information here!
As it turns out, not being able to hear playback from BB Manager was a separate issue (had to reboot my audio interface!).
I was remembering being able to work with and hear BB Manager while the BB was connected via USB and mis-remembering by thinking that the BB itself was producing the sound at that time.
I much appreciate your quick reply, you may have saved me a whole afternoon of going nuts about it!
I use a tablet for lyrics and had planned on using the software to control the beatbuddy, call up a beat, and press play. Play along. But, that’s not how it works. I call up the the beat and then unplug it to use the beatbuddy. Is that correct?
That’s certainly a technique however, there are other methods that avoids connecting & disconnecting the USB cable between the pedal and the tablet for every song.
This involves some more peripherals including the Singular Sound MIDI Sync Adaptor, MIDI patch cable and a MIDI to USB interface.
Here’s an example connecting OnSong to the BB. http://onsongapp.com/store/beatbuddy/ and if you search this forum a little more, you should be able to find how users interface their various devices.
