BeatBuddy’s “Default Content” is a project consisting of drumsets and BeatBuddy songs (consisting of MIDI loops and arranged into folders) that Singular Sound has distributed with the physical BeatBuddy units since 2014. All drumsets and songs included in this project were produced and are owned by GoranGrooves (the producer is Goran Rista) and licensed to Singular Sound for this purpose.
In 2019, GoranGrooves released an updated edition of the “Default Content,” version 2.0, which has been distributed with physical BeatBuddy units since. Version 2.0 wholly revamped all MIDI loops included in songs, introduced new MIDI loops, and included remixed versions of several drumsets and a brand new version of the “Standard” drumset. There have been some significant changes to the drum mapping, namely to the Latin Percussion drumset.
From June 1, 2024, GoranGrooves and Singular Sound have parted ways and are no longer associated.
All official future updates and support for the content produced by GoranGrooves and initially licensed to Singular Sound will be available at GoranGrooves Library. Going forward, such a project will be known as “GoranGrooves Default Content For BeatBuddy,” with “BeatBuddy” indicating the compatible platform.
