USING YOUR MIDI MAESTRO FOR THE FIRST TIME
We know you’re itching to start playing with your MIDI Maestro, but there’s a few things you should
know!
The MIDI Maestro comes with built in presets for your BeatBuddy. You can also create and load your
own custom preset with the included smartphone app.
IMPORTANT:
Please make sure your BeatBuddy has the latest firmware installed for the MIDI
Maestro to work properly with it. You can download the latest BeatBuddy firmware here:

Extension Pedal: You can use a dual momentary footswitch to move up and down between
pages. This saves you from using one of the MIDI Maestro’s bu�ons to get to other pages
of commands when crea�ng your custom preset. Plug your footswith into the MIDI
Maestro’s Extension port with a stereo TRS cable. We recommend using the Singular
Sound Foo.
5
Expression Pedal: You can use an expression pedal to easily control the value of a MIDI
command. (With a default BeatBuddy preset, the Expression pedal controls the tempo on
your BeatBuddy.) However, when using a new expression pedal for the first �me, you must
calibrate it. Press the Mode bu�on on the MIDI Maestro and then select Calibrate Exp
Pedal, and follow instruc�ons
While using your MIDI Maestro you can enter the Expression Pedal's "Clutch Mode" by
holding down the lower right and middle bu�ons at the same �me. This allows you to
re-posi�on the expression pedal without sending out MIDI commands.
