Implementation of transmission of MIDI message (MIDI out) when the song is changed either by using the pedal or being set by MIDI in, so the integration of the BB in an existing MIDI setup with guitar effects, keyboard, stagepiano, controlling tablets etc. would be far simpler than it is now.
Current state:
The Beatbuddy doesn't currently send the folder/song number when the song is changed.
Problem:
You can't effectively use the Beatbuddy as a Master to synchronise other equipment that has song settings. Even using a microcontroller, there is very limited information coming from the Beatbuddy.
Solution:
Make song changes send a MIDI out message to transmit the folder number, with the same format as the MIDI in BankChange command. This is an easy short term fix. Better still would be to send a user assignable midi song number, as suggested by Tyraell. Both of these implementations would make a super flexible product.
