I have to do Export rather than Save As.  The BeatBuddy works with a combination of short Intro/Loop/Transition/Fill segments that you control with the foot pedal.  Save As writes the whole song as one file.

As for MIDI 0 vs. 1, that's well documented.  Type 0 merges everything to one instrument track.

I was able to get it working by converting all the clips to groove clips (with Ctrl+L) and exporting as groove clips.

Thanks, David. 

I also thought it would be weird for Cakewalk to do anything non-standard; I've been using it for MIDI in one form or another since DOS in about 1993.

Yes, I have the time signature set in the transport module.  I'm exporting from File > Export > Standard MIDI File.

Maybe I will try converting to MIDI Groove Clips.

I am trying to use Cakewalk (2024.02, Build 098, 64-bit Windows) to edit drum patterns to import into my BeatBuddy.

Typically, I'll take a short section (a few measures) as a clip and export to Standard MIDI file. 

There are issues with the interpretation of the file if the time signature is not 4/4.  It seems from comments on the BeatBuddy support forum that Cakewalk may not be including a MIDI status message (FF 58 04?) in the exported file to set time signature.  Is there an option to include the status message in exported MIDI?
