If you are plaing a MIDI keyboard, have you tried simply setting BB to start when you hit any designated key, like the bottom-most ke on the keyboard?

Maybe that will take less time than using a footswitch, dunno, but thought it worth the mention, give that a shot.

BiaB is really not a drum machine, I've been asked to use it that way by folks who want to come and jam with me and found that while it can be done, it doesn't lend itself all that well to the situation IMO. But I always would have those folks use the BB countin or my voice as countin as described above.

These days my favorite way to countin is to set the countin Prefs to play two bars of the B drumfill and away we go. But I work predominantly in a Jazz situation, so.
