AEROS Loop Studio: Manual

BeatBuddy Integration

At this point your pedals should be good to go, but depending on the version of

BeatBuddy ﬁrmware you’re running you may need to check that the next song

part command is enabled. This can be done by going BeatBuddy settings (push

drum set and tempo knobs down at the same time) and select: Main Pedal >

MIDI Settings > MIDI-OUT > Next Part (CC-102), and select “Enable”.

It’s also recommended that you disable the Aeros looper’s count in as it can

cause the looper to start recording out of sync with the start of the BeatBuddy’s

main rhythm parts (see “Song Settings” p.xx).

In both 2x2 and 6x6 (with default settings), starting the BeatBuddy with an intro

will trigger the looper to start on the ﬁrst beat of the main rhythm part. This can

be conﬁgured in the BeatBuddy’s MIDI settings to also start on the ﬁrst beat of

the intro if you prefer, by changing the setting located at: Main Pedal > MIDI

Settings > MIDI-OUT > Start.

Additionally, with default settings, the looper will stop playing/recording at the

end of an outro ﬁll and/or when the BeatBuddy is paused. This can be changed

to stop the Aeros either when the BeatBuddy is paused only, or only when the

BeatBuddy ends playing the drums. That setting is located on the BeatBuddy at

Menu > Main Pedal > MIDI Settings > MIDI-OUT > Stop.

In 2x2 only, triggering the next song part with the BeatBuddy will cause the

Aeros to switch song parts at the end of the BeatBuddy’s transition.

In 6x6 you’ll need to manually select which song part you wish to transition to,

using the looper’s bottom left button, and then transition using the BeatBuddy.

After which, the looper will switch to the selected song part at the end of the

BeatBuddy’s transition.

Of course, at any point in both 2x2 and 6x6 you can use the Aeros to transition

as you would normally, to keep the rhythm the same while the song part chang-

es. Additionally, adding ﬁlls and accent hits with the BeatBuddy has no eﬀect on

the Aeros’ loops, giving you the ability to vary the drums while keeping the song

part the same.
