Probably the best drummer you can fit in your pocket
Not cheap but sounds organic like a drum kit and never misses a beat :-)
The Best.
There is no extra word to say about this product. It is the only product that always receives updates and has complete features inside the drum machines.
It has improved itself tremendously with new updates. If you want a drummer, here is Beatbuddy.
Great hardware and sound , let down by flakey software
Great sound and build quality, however the Beat Buddy Manager software is very flakey and needs a complete re-write. Adding extra drum patterns etc from Singular Sound or 3rd party can be very frustrating using the BBM software. Check the forums before you purchase ! I very nearly returned my unit as the software was so awful. I eventually managed to add the extra content after a full morning in the forums, more by luck than skill !
PS: Just found that they have recently released "Beat Buddy Loader Software Ver 1.0 " Extract from the Singular Sound Website.........
"This is not intended as a full replacement for the BeatBuddy Manager. Through our research we have found that 80% of BeatBuddy users only want to add and organize content on their BeatBuddy, rather than edit content. This software has been built for this purpose. We are currently working on a replacement for the BeatBuddy Manager which will have full editing capability as well as additional features currently under development.
Just love It
For what i needed it, it does the job perfectly. But there is more in it, you want to.
A good programable drum machine, if you're willing to take time to explore it.
Mmmm
Not so useful given the price. I would go for something different next time, maybe a looperboard with drum effect inside.
