M-Live - B.Beat 32Gb
The inspiration behind B.Beat is to simplify the management of backing tracks and videos during a show. Its 32Gb of memory can store projects containing music, videos and images, as well as MIDI tracks to send messages to the various devices used for Live. Say goodbye to computers, tablets, sound and video interfaces - the B.Beat solves all these problems, manages sequences and lets you enjoy the pleasure of playing, worry-free.
Presentation
It can store a large number of backing tracks.
These can be synchronised with a video (or images) projected onto the video wall from the HDMI output.
B.BEAT has a digital mixer to manage its 6 separate outputs, 2 inputs, a headphone output for clicks, and the return of mix and accompaniment tracks.
4 potentiometers allow the musician to balance, in real time, what he wants to hear through the headphones during the performance.
From any source, a stereo or mono audio signal can be returned to B.Beat via the two inputs, and B.Beat recognises the Click track and can channel it to one of the 6 available outputs and simultaneously to the headphone output.
B.Beat is designed for maximum reliability during LIVE performances.
It has a dedicated [LIVE] button that can be used as soon as the show starts, at which point the B.Beat processor will engage its maximum performance, but without wasting resources.
This minimises the risk of unintentional crashes and prevents the user from activating functions by mistake.
Create your backing tracks with your Daw, and once you've finished your studio work, you're ready to transfer the music to B.Beat.
To do this, the B.Beat manager application (runs on PC and Mac) allows you to assign outputs to the different tracks, and you can finish editing by adjusting the volumes as you wish.
If you have synchronised a video with the music, you can upload it to B.Beat and manage it in conjunction with the backing tracks, or you can manage videos and images unrelated to the music.

B.Beat can play files in MTA (multitrack audio) format produced and distributed by M-Live via the Song Service website.
https://song-service.com
MTA files are multitrack files that B.Beat plays back on 8 stereo tracks.
The backing tracks are organised as follows:
- Track 1 Drums
- Track 2 Bass
- Track 3 Guitar
- Track 4 Keyboards
- Track 5 Orchestra
- Track 6 Winds
- Track 7 Click
- Track 8 Melody
Audio projects with 16 separate stereo tracks are also available, which can be freely adapted to B.Beat with any DAW.
B.Beat has a dedicated Metronome section, allowing you to manage a metronome directly from the stage.
The Click can be output on one of the 6 outputs, and at the same time to the Drummer's headphones.
When the click track is present in the multitrack accompaniment tracks, it is recognised and sent to a separate output and to the headphones.
