1. Groove Monkee Products with Beat Buddy PBF Files

This is our collection of MIDI drum packs that include a PBF file. Except for Afro-Cuban percussion, the rest of our products include MIDI files mapped for Beat Buddy. 

Some of these have 2 PBF files, one with complete, "one press play" songs. Those packs are: Led Head, Country Outlaws and Classic Rock.

Note: Our Blues pack has a PBF file with complete songs only. It is not listed in the link above. 

2. Free Loops for Beat Buddy
