As a one-man band who needs to travel light and pack everything into a single suitcase, I can say that b.beat is the most amazing player I’ve ever used. It’s reliable, lightweight, compact, delivers great sound, and is very versatile. I still haven’t tried connecting it to a tablet for lyrics, since I haven’t needed to, but I’m using it more and more to control lighting via MIDI to DMX devices, as well as to send visuals to TV screens in parallel. I can mute backing vocals, or route a specific instrument to a separate track and manipulate it live through a guitar pedal. Also, via MIDI, I can sync the tempo with a vocal processor or a KORG KP3+, or even send a signal to a pocket synthesizer to enhance my live singback. I still haven’t tapped into its full potential, but this gadget is just top-notch.
