Whether you're performing live or practicing at home, the BeatBuddy provides dynamic drum sounds that respond to your footswitch commands for fills, transitions, and accent hits, creating the feeling of having a live drummer at your feet.
Hyper-Realistic Drum Sounds with 24-bit Samples
What sets the BeatBuddy apart from traditional drum machines is its use of 24-bit recordings of real drummers, offering an authentic, warm tone that simulates a live drumming experience. With 32-bit floating point processing, every beat sounds full, natural, and professional. The included 10 drum kits provide a variety of sonic options, while the extensive library of 200 songs spans 24 different genres, ensuring that you have the right beat for any musical context.
Intuitive Footswitch Control for Live Performances
Designed for hands-free control, the BeatBuddy's footswitch allows you to start and stop beats, insert dynamic fills that vary with each press, and smoothly transition between different song sections. You can also end the song or add accent hits with an optional second footswitch, providing a seamless, intuitive drumming experience during live performances. The easy-to-read color LCD display offers a clear visual reference, helping you stay in control of the rhythm.
Create and Customize Beats with BeatBuddy Manager
The BeatBuddy comes pre-loaded with an extensive library of beats, but its real power lies in its ability to create custom drum patterns using the BeatBuddy Manager software. You can upload your own WAV or General MIDI files, or combine existing beats, fills, and transitions to craft original songs. The BeatBuddy's internal memory and optional SD card slot give you the flexibility to store a massive number of custom beats, making it a versatile tool for live performance and studio use.
