The non-quantized beats, recordings of real drummers, makes BeatBuddy the first drum machine to not sound like a machine.

User questions & answers

Question:	can i try it out and return it if i dont like it.im sceptical,thx
Answer:	Absolutely! Any purchases bought on Amazon are subject to Amazon's return policy. In addition, Singular Sound offers a two-year warranty on the BeatBuddy.
Question:	Can you use a different SD card, specifically one with more memory
Answer:	Yes, you can have multiple SD cards. The manual suggests you might have different cards for different shows. I'm not sure if there's an addressing limit for large capacity SD cards.
Question:	Do I need to know how to program beats
Answer:	Not if you don't want to! Straight out of the box, the BeatBuddy comes with 200 "songs" (the collection of beats for multiple parts of a song, including intros/outros, fills, transition beats, verses, chorus, etc.) in 21 genres.  There are also ten included drum sets that can play those songs.  By default, each song is associated with the drum set it's "supposed" to be played on, but you can play Latin beats on a heavy metal drum set and techno beats on a hand drum set. It's simple to find what you're looking for, but there's a huge playground of opportunity to explore.The songs come in a wide variety of time signatures, mostly 4/4, 3/4, 5/4, and 6/8, but there are others.  There's even a special folder for very odd time signatures -- things for the most musically eccentric ...or curious.  The BeatBuddy makes it easy to perfect your timing or learn new time signatures with the Visual Metronome.  A shaded bar moves across the screen in accordance with the time signature and tempo, so you know exactly how many beats there are in the measure, where you are in the measure, and when the measure will end -- and you can see this visually.  It's an invaluable tool when it comes to tightening your chops.But all that's straight out of the box, no programming necessary.  If you're the type who likes creating your own beats, or if you have friends or websites you can get more beats from, you can import MIDI files from GarageBand, Ableton, Cubase, or any of your preferred programs into the BeatBuddy Manager software, arrange those files into new songs, and load them onto your BeatBuddy. You can also load WAV files into the software to create new drum sets.
Question:	Would i be able to plug this into a digital interface and record the drum beat into a daw? how would that be done
Answer:	You would be able to. You'd even be able to sync both, the DAW and the BeatBuddy via MIDI if you had a proper audio interface. You'll need an audio interface with TRS 1/4 inch inputs to record the sound into the DAW. For the sync part you'll need a MIDI adapter for the BeatBuddy (an extra 15 bucks) and USB MIDI adapter for your PC also (usually run for about 20 bucks). Some interfaces (like the Tascam US-122L for example) are both: audio and MIDI interface at once which would allow you to sync the tempo and record the BB through the same device.

Not All Great Drummers Are Human

So while you play your instrument, you also have control over the drums.

We live-sampled professional drummers at full dynamic range to make the beats in the BeatBuddy.

When you hear the drum patterns and start to control them live, it is truly like a human drummer playing along with you.

Play right out of the box:

Visual Metronome

The moving line shows which beat is currently playing in the measure. (A 3/4 beat will have three lines, a 4/4 beat will have four lines, etc.).

Choose Your Own Drum Set

Your thrash beats sound awesome on the metal kit, but you might want to play them with brushes or even on a hand drum.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with a Focusrite Interface
Answer:	Hi Jerry,Alesis support here! If you're looking to record the sounds from the SR16 through a Focusrite interface, this can be done since there are 1/4" line outputs on the SR16 that you can connect to the line inputs of the Focusrite interface.

Question:	Can you save you own beats on the ALESIS SR16 DRUM MACHINE
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can you run this unit on a battery-and if so, what type
Answer:	SR-16: Not without an AC inverter (you can run from your car battery with an inverter, but not realistically from AA cells etc) SR-18: You can run this off batteries IF you have a 12Vdc battery source that can supply more than 600milliamps (like a bank of D cells, lantern battery or car battery) and a power connector with the correct polarity (these are easy to get from amazon and wire yourself)
Question:	Does this have pre-programmed, automatically generated beats that you can't remove
Answer:	That is correct. It has 50 pre-programmed styles, with an A version and a B version, for a total of 100 beats. You can also program your own beats.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatable w/korg duo monotron
Answer:	I'm pretty sure the Duo will only affect the sound with its filter. The LFOs will have no effect.
Question:	What chord/cable do I need to plug into my computer to record from the pocket operator
Answer:	I am in the process of buying the PO and looking for the same information as you. I believe you need to have an Audio Interface connected to your computer and the PO connected to the Audio Interface via a XLR to 3.5mm cable
Question:	Is there a case for the arcade? i see them for the others, but not po
Answer:	I searched for one on the net and on amazon when I purchased this and I did not see one available as yet. There are 3D printer case designs out there much much much cheaper...
Question:	Which batteries does it use, how many, and how long can it last
Answer:	All of Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators use two AAA batteries. The battery depends on what type/brand of battery you use and how frequently you use PO-12.

DrumBrute Analog Drum Machine. With the vast majority of the past few decades' drum machine designs largely being emulations of the great machines that have gone before, Arturia’s introduction of a fully analog hardware drum machine with organic, integral sound creation is a major event. The DrumBrute is firmly rooted in the classic drum machines, but it builds upon these traditions in terms of superior audio specifications and lower noise floor than the rhythm composers that paved the way. It also features far greater versatility in sound generation and programming options than the classic machines ever had. The DrumBrute offers seventeen true analog sounds, unique performance effects, a modern step sequencer, tremendous ease of use and state-of-the-art connectivity. It bridges the old world with the new, and leaves a wide-open palette of parameter-level sound creation, programming and synchronization options. Sound The sound of DrumBrute is based on the best classic analog drum machines. Sound profiles were created from the past but then the circuits were designed to build up DrumBrute’s own much-beloved and well established sound signature. Individual tones include two styles of kick drums, a wide-ranging snare and clap setting, two hi hats with tone and separate decay times, reverse cymbal, zap and more. Experience DrumBrute is designed to give musicians the same great hands-on experience they get from other award-winning Brute instruments. If you are already familiar with the Brute-style interface niceties, you will slide into using this drum machine with the greatest ease. If not, prepare yourself for a workflow of unprecedented efficiency and utility. All sound parameters can be changed instantly and set with the intuitive interface. Whether ir not you already know Arturia products, DrumBrute is easy to use right out of the box.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you need every output connected? Its 12 cables. In the picture of djs using it they dont seem to have alloutputs connected. Can someoneplease help
Answer:	Those 12 outputs are for routing or recording the different pieces in isolation. If none of the individual outputs are used, all sounds go through the single mix output.
Question:	Is it a 1/4" mix output, and could i plug it into an rca splitter to a mixer in a vinyl turntable setup
Answer:	Yes it is 1/4" output. As long as you have a 1/4" to use (or an adapter to change 1/4" to RCA) then sure it would work fine.
Question:	can i sample music with this equipment
Answer:	Nope - This is a drum machine that does not have any sampling capabilities. :)
Question:	Can this drum machine be connected to the computer? Is their a program for that
Answer:	Yes. It can be connected to a computer via USB. Is there an app that lets you program the drums?... Kinda. It has to be done using MIDI on the computer over USB. So any MIDI program should be able to trigger and play this drum machine from the computer. Mostly this would be a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) program like Abelton Live, Reaper, FL Studio, Reason, Logic Pro, etc... There are also several MIDI sequencer programs on the market that are designed specifically to trigger drum machines.
