Not impressed by this Beatbuddy at all.The cymbals are poor and are far too high in the mix. For me the Korg KR Mini at a third the price is a better choice.

Hi Raul, Can you use BB mini plugged directly into a audio interface (Zoom R16) ? If so how did it sound. Looks like a very user friendly alternative to a tradition drum machine. Thanks in advance and thanks for the video.

Hi Raul, can you add additional drum beats?

Hey ned, I don’t know and I am sure the manufacturer could shed some light on your question. This is a smaller version of the Beat Buddy and has so much on it already, I can’t see myself needing more… I will keep my eyes open and update if I find out. Thanks for your question!

Looking a bit deeper,,, you cab program the bigger brother of this pedal and they have a library of addition al beats,,, I don’t see this with thisn little guy… however, it looks like they are selling these little guys at half price right now,,, here is a link… http://bit.ly/1WLHYAS Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply – i’m thinking that you cant add any further drum songs has there is no access socket/usb on the mini.

I think you are correct!

Correct. The Mini has a closed system, so no new beats or drum sets, no changing the order of anything, no changing which drum set a beat plays. It will never do anything more than it does the day you get it. The regular BeatBuddy gets occasional firmware updates, and can have totally new beats and drum samples loaded into it. This is all super easy to do using the Manager app on Mac or PC. You can create set lists that have songs in order for specific gigs. There are other important differences as well, but not specific to your question.

Hello … Does the footswitch need to be configured on BeatBuddy MINI? … The manual does not tell you how!

It was ready to rock out of the box. With the mini I don’t think you can change anything but there is so much there, I don’t see why you would need to mess with it! Thanks for checking this out!

I bought the mini BeatBuddy from Sweetwater , paid $99.00 , when I got the unit , it was used . Box was ripped open on one side , the indicator line on the volume nob had dirt in it and the transparent cover over the LCD was scratch up . Beware buying stuff from Sweetwater , you’ll pay new price on used stuff .

Wierd… Did you contact them about it?
Phil B
January 1, 2018 at 7:53 am
Yes I contacted them . They told me to send them pictures of the unit and they would reduce the price or send me a new unit . I already bought one new unit off them and they sent me used . The used unit I received works and I need it for an up coming event . I don’t have time for their incompetent BS , I’ll never buy anything off them again .
