How to send midi message for start stop and tap tempo from guitarwing to BeatBuddy (drum pedal)

maans

Hi there

I am using the guitarwing as a drum controller of a BeatBuddy drum pedal via a Kenton midi host.

I was able to map some of the buttons to different instruments - now I want to control midi start/stop and tap tempo.

The BeatBuddy pedal is syncronized with eg the BOSS rc-300 and Arturia BeatStep (step seqencer and controller) without any problems.

If I change tempo on those controllers BeatBuddy syncronizes well.

Can you please tell me how to program the guitar wing controller to send midi start/stop and tap tempo messages? - Or will I have to ask for help in the BeatBuddy forums? 

Cheers Måns (Danish guitarist)

I found out that BeatBuddy sends and recieves MIDI Clock (0xF8), MIDI Start (0xFA) and MIDI Stop (0xFC).

What I need to know is how to insert these hexadecimal values as control signals for buttons on the GuitarWing.

This is what my rig looks like:

Hi Justin

This is very good news indeed :-)

Thank you very much for working on this feature.

I will wait and see what you come up with in October :-)

Btw. Sometimes (very seldom though) the BeatBuddy sequencer pedal will start playing when it is paused and I play drum instruments from the GuitarWing. 

I don't think this seemingly random activation of the sequencer is related to midi messages from the GuitarWing. 

I guess it is the BeatBuddy pedal which is having hickups of some kind.

Thanks again. I look forward for the next update.

Yours Sincerely Måns Mårtensson
