Tim,
Can you verify for me that your BeatBuddy is actually sending a MIDI Start command? That would be represented as a single MIDI byte with a value of 0xFA (250 in decimal). The only reason I ask is that I think it's pretty rare for MIDI equipment to send that message. In fact, the library I'm using for MIDI doesn't even list that as a normal trigger (I'd have to look at the MIDI single byte value myself). Unfortunately, you can't use the MIDI listen dialog in MobileSheetsPro to listen for the single byte message command, as so many of those come in that I had to ignore those, but if you use an external MIDI monitor (lots of applications for this on a Windows PC), you can verify that a single byte with 0xFA is sent.
Thanks,
Mike
