Page 28: Beatbuddy Integration
Your AEROS Loop Studio has built in plug and play functionality with the BeatBuddy, our hands-free drum machine pedal. Currently AEROS can be controlled by the BeatBuddy (BeatBuddy is ‘Master’, AEROS is ‘Slave’). We will be implementing the AEROS as Master capability in a future update. AEROS AS SLAVE, BEATBUDDY AS MASTER To use the AEROS as a slave, you’ll need a... - Page 29 AEROS. PLEASE NOTE: The time signature is only sent from the BeatBuddy when you first load a song on the BeatBuddy. So if you start a new song on the Aeros, you will need to change the song on the BeatBuddy for the time signature to be sent.
- Page 30 The Next Part (transition) and Stop commands (outro, pause) from the BeatBuddy will overide the Change Song Part/Stop Song setting if it is set to “End of Loop”, so AEROS will not wait until the end of the loop to change parts or stop the song when it receives these commands, that way it stays in sync with the BeatBuddy.

- Page 36 ● Changed to Manual Save: Previous versions of the firmware saved the song automatically every time the song was stopped. This caused some delay as the song was being saved so the Aeros could not be started again immediately. With the new manual save system (you must press the save button on the stopped screen to save the song), you get to choose when the song is saved.
