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:
