![]() That’s quite a lot of hard miles by any switch’s standard. That’s about 54,000 main pedal presses multiplied by the two-ish years years the switches last before I start to worry, and you have, essentially 100,000 presses. We rehearse every week and play 60 shows a year, so that’s about 110 nights at a conservative estimate of 35 songs each, times 3 verses, 3 choruses, and a solo, plus about 7 internal fills. I’ve worn out a few units, myself, but I wouldn’t say the switches are junk. ![]() I will try the latest firmware so I can programe my footswitch to do main functions and see if that fixes it, if it does I will permanently use it as I can replace switch easy and use any good quality switch, I may make my own switch peddle with high quality switches in it I am suspicious its software this time as the switch feels ok to use, and the tap tempo is always on screen even with the SD card out of unit. I sourced the maunufacturer of the switch Alfa switches from memory, I need to buy 6 or so switches, I have not found a better quality switch yet that fits. In 30 years of playing I have only ever had one switch break in a wah peddle. Singular sound need to change this switch for a better quality one. I have been treading on egg shells with new unit ever since I got it, knowing how weak it is and knew it was only a matter of time before it broke, I was so careful I would often not trigger fills because I used it so lightly. Yes the switch is of poor quality, the design is very bad, it wears out easily it is weak and breaks, it also is a bad designed switch because it does not have a stopper meaning it is easy to stress the switch. Bug fixes across the board - A host of bug fixes make the BeatBuddy more rock solid than ever.Yes thanks I will look at that, I have already taken apart my last beatbuddy and disassemled the switch it was broken inside and sent it back, it was replaced.įrom memorry it was the same symptoms but not sure.Delayed post-fill loop start - For more true-to-life drumming, BeatBuddy delays its loop start MIDI messages until after fills have completed.Fill finessing - Now you can set drum fills to begin an 1/8th or 1/4 note after you press the switch, for smoother transitions.Bigger bass - Drum sets that include bass now sound fatter and more alive.Higher polyphony - 64 simultaneous instruments (increased from 24) means richer, fuller backing tracks.New accent options - Have a one-shot you like? Now you can use it across all songs and parts, and configure its level for subtler or more obvious accents.Everything BeatBuddy’s onboard switch could do, an external switch can now control. Run from an external footswitch - Keep the BeatBuddy at eye level while using an external footswitch (sold separately) for loops, fills, and transitions. ![]()
