FXpansion BFD Supplemental - Manual


1
ADDITIONS TO THE REFERENCE MANUAL
Since the manual went to print, a few feature additions and error corrections were neces-
sary to bring to your attention.
ERRATA
Output Options panel, Output Matrix
The <null> value, used in the Output Matrix to denote a muted mic channel for a Kit-
Piece, has been changed to <mute>.
Link to Kit-Piece, Key2 functions
(in Kit-Piece Inspector and Hit Options Advanced tab)
The manual implies that specifying another Kit-Piece/Hit type with the Link/Key2
parameters will result in both being played together when either is struck.
Correction: The Kit-Pieces will be played together only when the Kit-Piece/Hit type for
which the Link/Key2 setting has been made.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
There are a few last minute alterations made to BFD in order to enhance usability:
Hit Options panel
Interaction between the Page 1/Page 2 and Advanced tabs
The Advanced tab of the Hit Options panel is the only area in which you can create
multiple key assignments (more than 1 note for a Hit type). Because this is not possible
in the Page 1 and Page 2 tabs, any Hit type with multiple mappings is denoted as being
mapped to <M>.
If the assignment is changed on the Page 1/Page 2 tabs, all multiple mappings in the
Advanced tab are removed.
A warning window will appear, which can be turned off in the Options panel.
Duplicate assignment highlighting in Page 1 and Page 2 tabs
In addition to a
blue highlight for a Hit type whose assignment is duplicated with another
Hit type, the following highlighting conventions have been introduced:
Green Key assignment is duplicated with a Groove note
Red
Key assignment is duplicated with a choke note
