Singular Sound BeatBuddy MINI 2

Beatbuddys are very complete drum machines in the format of a guitar effect pedal, offering a wide choice of drum kits and song styles to accompany musicians from all walks of life. Developed by Singular Sound, they are available in two models: BeatBuddy which offers exceptional sound and very advanced parameterization possibilities, and its BeatBuddy Mini 2 alter-ego which concentrates the essential features of the BeatBuddy in a compact and ready-to-use format. These singular pedals use MIDI files to execute compositions loaded into their memory, from a bank of sounds from recordings by professional drummers.

Very versatile, the BeatBuddy are aimed at singers, guitarists, bassists or keyboardists, who wish to benefit from a realistic and evolving rhythmic support. These drum machines are also very effective for drummers who would like to rely on a metronome with sounds much more pleasant than market standards.

Offering exclusive and new features, they have been specially designed for a quick grip like most guitar pedals, and can connect directly between a guitar and an amplifier. A simple press on the pedal allows you to start or stop a song, insert a break or start a transition between two parts of a song. This unique feature offers the musicians a total mastery of the rhythm of the piece. Thanks to the proprietary algorithm developed for beatbuddy, the rhythm is maintained in all circumstances, while keeping fluid and natural sequences. The LCD displays essential information and acts as a highly readable and intuitive visual metronome.

For users who want to create new drum kits with their own sounds and insert new rhythms, the Beatbuddy offers advanced programming features via the Beatbuddy Manager software. Add or remove parts to songs or breaks, program the accent that will mark the rhythm of a cymbal stroke or a clap of hands becomes possible in a few clicks!

Updated and expanded version of the Beatbuddy Mini, the Beatbuddy Mini 2 takes the elements that made the success of its little sister, while adorning itself with a most welcome update. Indeed, this new unusual box now offers the same content as its standard BeatBuddy big sister, with more than 200 rhythmic signatures and 9 drum kits spread over 24 different music styles. With its simple interface and non-editable content, the Beatbuddy Mini 2 is the ideal solution for singers/guitarists, guitarists, bassists or even drummers looking for a reliable and complete support solution. To top it off, the BeatBuddy Mini 2 has been equipped with a new switch, wider and therefore easier to trigger, as well as a new rotary knob.
