BeatBuddy Integration

AEROS AS MASTER, BEATBUDDY AS SLAVE

To use the Aeros as a master, you’ll need a MIDI cable, the PS/2 to MIDI Beat-

Buddy breakout cable, and a BeatBuddy. Plug the MIDI Cable in the “IN” port for

the BeatBuddy breakout cable, and the “OUT” port on the Aeros.

In both 2x2 and 6x6, starting the Aeros will start the BeatBuddy with an intro ﬁll

or with the main beat, if the intro ﬁll has been disabled on the BeatBuddy (to

disable the intro ﬁll go to Main Pedal > Intro > None), and stopping the Aeros will

stop trigger an outro (unless the outro is disabled), stopping the BeatBuddy and

Aeros at the end of the measure.

We recommend turning count in on your looper on, and setting it to the same

number of measures as your beat’s intro so that the start of the BeatBuddy’s

main rhythm section and your loop are synced.

In 2x2, switching song parts on the Aeros will trigger the BeatBuddy to switch to

the next rhythm part in sequential order. (1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, and so on)

But in 6x6, If the BeatBuddy has enough rhythm parts, transitioning to the next

song part will transition to the appropriately number rhythm part on the Beat-

Buddy. If there aren’t enough rhythm parts, it will simply switch to the next

rhythm part in sequential order.

Fills, accent hits, and pauses with the BeatBuddy will have no eﬀect on the

Aeros’ loops. Please note, that if you pause the BeatBuddy while the Aeros is

playing, you will need to start the BeatBuddy in time with the Aeros to have

them sync up again. Or you can stop the Aeros, and then start them both at the

same time by starting the Aeros.
