I am using the Livid GuitarWing as a wireless controller for BeatBuddy via a Kenton midi host.
I was able to map some of the buttons to different instruments - now I want to control midi start/stop and tap tempo.
The BeatBuddy pedal is syncronized with eg the BOSS rc-300 and Arturia BeatStep (step seqencer and controller) without any problems.
If I change tempo on those controllers BeatBuddy syncronizes well.
Can you please tell me what midi commands I should use to be able to send midi start/stop and tap tempo messages to the BeatBuddy pedal from my GuitarWing controller??
Is it possible to setup other commands as well - like advance songs, fills etc … ?
Should I ask for help in the Livid GuitarWing forums instead?
you can use Midi start(and stop-)-command, this are standart-commands, no other Midi-commands are contingent:((ATM)…
BB also recognizes Midi clock but TapTempo will only work if your Controller has a Midi clock (so you can Tap Tempo on Controller and Controller sends the tapped Midi clock-tempo to BB), or with other devices connected to BB (the devices have to send Midi clock signal), or on the BB pedal as well…
I was asking for Midi ability since I have my BB and it was mentioned, that BB will probably get Midi ability sometime…(), BTW hey deaf, where are you??? (we need you here)!!! ((or are you working on the next FW features for Singular Sounds:D:D:D?))
I hope I could help a little, and please excuse my bad English

Justin from Livid has added my request for being able to send midi start/stop and tempo to the firmware update which is due in October.
Is it possible that BeatBuddy will get more midi capabilities in a future firmware update?
I am thinking of standard functions which are already present when using the pedal like: song forward, changing banks or kits and playing accents.
“After working things out a bit, We are going to do this update much sooner than December.
Be on the lookout for this and some other much requested feature updates in a Guitar Wing Firmware and Editor update in October.”
Btw. Sometimes (very seldom though) the BeatBuddy sequencer pedal will start playing when it is paused and I play drum instruments from the GuitarWing.
I don’t think this seemingly random start activation of the sequencer is related to any midi messages from the GuitarWing.
I guess it is the BeatBuddy pedal which is having hickups of some kind.
Is this a known bug?
I have been searching a little bit. Though I don’t use the GuitarWing, I do use Ableton and have noticed as well that sometimes the Beatbuddy will just start playing Randomly. Could it be that a Note Value is programmed to trigger a start? I have been having a hard time finding this information as well.
