Singular Sound released BeatBuddy 2, a drum machine in stompbox format that provides hands-free control over song structures through footswitches for intros, accent hits, transitions, fills, and outros. The device features 13 high-definition drum kits with four times the sample capacity of its predecessor and ships with 220 styles across 24 genres, all rendered in 24-bit audio at 44.1 kilohertz. The pedal uses non-quantized recordings from professional drummers to deliver authentic grooves, and an Autopilot feature manages transitions automatically for hands-off performance.
Dual multiports support simultaneous connection of a six-button SuperSwitch and expression pedal for tempo and volume control, while MIDI input and output ports synchronize with loopers and external equipment. Users can access the BeatBuddy Manager Online software to customize content from millions of songs and 300 drum sets through the Beat Boutique. The unit features a 2.4-inch color screen, expandable storage of up to 32 gigabytes, and digital dry-through bypass switching, all housed in a metal chassis. BeatBuddy 2 sells for $499.
