In this post I'll explain how to import a PBF file using the online version of the BeatBuddy Manager. Please be aware that the desktop version of the BeatBuddy Manager is discontinued.
Note: Currently, the online version requires Chrome, Edge or Arc.

- Open the folder that ends with "BB"
- You'll find the PBF file(s) inside the folder with "PBF" at the end.
Mega Pack Users
- Open the "Other MIDI Mappings" folder of your download
- Extract the zip file named "Mega Pack BB"
- The PBF files are stored in the folder named "PBF Files"
Setting Up Your Project
Important: Before you can use the Beat Buddy Manager, you MUST set up a project.
See "Setting Up for the First Time" in the BeatBuddy Manager Online Manual. Once you have a project, you can install a PBF file using the instructions below.
Note: You can access the manual from the support page of Singular Sound's website. Please see the links below.
Installing a PBF file
Installing a PBF file is easy. It only takes a few clicks!
Click on "Import Song" in the upper right side of the Online BeatBuddy Manager. Please see the image below.
Select the PBF file and click "Open". This will add the PBF file to your project.
Next, save your project by clicking the "Save Project" button (upper right side).
If you're ready, you can now sync the project to your BeatBuddy's SD card.
Sync to your SD Card
Once you have saved your project, you can sync it to a connected SD card.
First, connect your BeatBuddy or insert the SD card into your computer.
1. Click on Sync to SD Card (upper right side - see image below)
2. Select your SD card as the location for the sync
3. Leave the browser open and keep your computer from going to
