Singular Sound BeatBuddy 2 - Nearly New

Full Description

Perform with intelligent beat control using Autopilot

BeatBuddy 2 introduces Autopilot, a smart automation feature that controls the length of each song section, triggers fills at musical moments and handles endings seamlessly. You no longer need to focus on managing every beat manually.

Instead, you get space to focus on your guitar, bass or keys while the pedal takes care of structure. Autopilot gives your songs a natural, guided flow while still letting you step in with transitions or fills whenever inspiration hits. It’s a responsive tool for solo performers, looping artists or anyone building a tight live set with consistent rhythm and feel.

Shape your sound with expression pedal support

BeatBuddy 2 now supports expression pedals, opening up real-time control of volume, tempo and velocity. You can slow a groove down gradually, push the beat faster during a solo or fade drums in and out for added dynamics.

With pedal control over velocity, each hit becomes more human, allowing soft ghost notes or heavy crashes with the press of your foot. This feature helps the drums feel more alive and expressive, closely matching the way a real drummer would respond to the energy of a song. Any standard expression pedal can be used, making it easy to fit into your existing rig.

Play with enhanced realism using HD drum sets

The new HD drum kits included with BeatBuddy 2 offer a huge leap in sound quality. These kits are four times larger than those found on the original pedal, capturing more samples with greater depth, nuance and detail. Every drum sound has been recorded and produced in professional studios by real drummers, delivering an authentic live feel.

Each hit responds naturally to dynamics, helping your performance sound tighter and more lifelike. With support for up to 320 custom kits and millions of downloadable songs, you can tailor the sound of your pedal to fit any style or genre; from acoustic singer-songwriter sets to full-on rock gigs.

Expand your sound with online tools and community content

With BeatBuddy Manager Online, you can create custom beats, build new drum kits or arrange full songs directly from your browser. It allows full control over the structure and content of your performance library.

You can download new kits and styles, or import your own MIDI files to match your set. On the Singular Sound Forum, thousands of users share custom songs, tips and downloadable content, giving you access to a huge catalogue of material. BeatBuddy 2 is not just a pedal, but part of an active ecosystem of players constantly creating and sharing new ideas for the stage, studio and beyond.
