BeatBuddy Manual

MIDI and the BeatBuddy

2.

Tempo MSB & Tempo LSB

o

In order to directly set the tempo to a specific BPM, you need to use the

Tempo MSB and Tempo LSB. The Beatbuddy will update its current

tempo only when receiving the LSB message.

o

So the order of the message should be:

1.

MSB value

2.

LSB value

o

Don’t forget, the value of the Tempo can only be set with both MSB

(CC:106) and LSB (CC:107).

Here are a few examples of Midi message combinations:

MSB (CC:106)
