See More, Do More
BeatBuddy 2 features a larger, higher resolution screen and an improved interface that makes it easier to find songs, adjust settings, and stay locked in during a set. Whether you’re switching parts mid-song or tweaking tempo on the fly, everything's sleeker, more intuitive, and built to keep up with you.
Unlock Multi-Button Precision Control with the SuperSwitch
Most multi-button controllers only let you trigger one command at a time. The SuperSwitch changes everything. Using a proprietary signal protocol, the SuperSwitch gives you simultaneous, synchronized control over multiple functions—pause and trigger an accent hit, switch parts and start a fill, all without missing a beat.
You can jump directly to any song part, trigger half-time or double-time tempo, use multiple accent hits and navigate entire setlists hands free with ease.
Seamlessly Integrate with your Aeros looper
The Aeros looper and BeatBuddy 2 feature a plug and play integration, easily syncing song start, transitions and song stop via MIDI.
Feel the Dynamics with Expression Pedal Support
BeatBuddy 2 lets you connect any standard expression pedal to shape your sound in real time. With hands free control of tempo, volume and velocity, you can ease into a groove or build toward an explosive fill—just like a real drummer. It’s a new level of control that makes your beats feel more human, more dynamic, and more alive.
