While I wouldn’t say any of the settings could be mistaken for a professional drummer physically playing the part in a well mic’ed studio, they are absolutely of a quality that they are additive to a live performance and miles from the dopey drum parts included on many mid-level keyboards. Unless you are in an eclectic cover band, I suspect you'll find a hald dozen or so favorites and stick to those, but the deep bench means there are opportunities to stretch your confort zone if you're looking to step out of your box.Īs to how it sounds? Really good, actually.

The beats themselves are, in general, varied and nuanced enough to be inspiring without being so full of character that they distract from the job at hand. To end a song, simply double-tap the foot switch and the BeatBuddy will cut out at the next bar with an outro fill. Once the beat is initiated, fills can be thrown in at any time by stomping on the footswitch (the BeatBuddy always quantitizes to the next bar) and transitions between choruses and verses are achieved by holding the footswitch for a second. The BeatBuddy Mini 2 has two external controls, Volume and a shared, push-button knob for Genre, Song, and Tempo as well as a multi-purpose footswitch and an input jack for an optional controller, running at a standard 9v power.Įven if you’ve never used a drum machine, the BeatBuddy Mini 2 is as straightforward as could be, with the ability to choose between 24 genres of music (each of which features a myriad of variations for a total exceeding 200), set tempo via tap or the control knob, and introduce fills and transitions hands-free.Īfter choosing a genre, variation (Song), and tempo, stepping on the stomp switch initiates the beat with an intro drum fill that counts off four beats into the first bar.

The new BeatBuddy Mini 2 branches off of the core BeatBuddy by stripping away a few pro features and pushing a few of the external controls into concentric knobs or digital menus to accommodate a smaller footprint and price tag. The Singular Sound BeatBuddy launched several years ago and was one of the first products to successfully marry a digital drum machine with the format and interface of a guitar pedal.
