Hihat pedal position define slider: current pedal position indicator (Page 1 tab)
An indicator has been implemented, highlighting the current hihat pedal position zone, in
order to help with setting up the zone boundaries.
Please note that some Roland drum brains, such as the TD20, do not send the pedal
value until the hihat surface is triggered.
Hihat Auto pedal splash function (Page 1 tab)
In the Page 1 tab, you can enable the Auto pedal splash feature, which simulates the
sound of a hihat pedal being raised quickly from the closed position.
Highlighting in the Advanced tab
As well Hit type assignments being highlighted in blue, the following highlighting
conventions are also used:
Green
Groove notes
Red choke notes
Please note that you can only edit choke note assignments in the Page 1 and Page 2
tabs.
Options panel
Retrigger threshold
This feature forces BFD to ignore incoming notes for an adjustable period (in seconds)
after a note has been played for a Kit-Piece.
The main reason for this feature is when using e-drum systems which feature multi-zone
pads. When using such pads, there can be substantial cross-talk between the zones,
resulting in a second note being sent very shortly after the first. The main practical
problem encountered with this type of cross-talk in BFD is when using dual-zone hihat
controllers.
Please enable this option if you use a Roland dual-zone hihat trigger.
It may be useful to use with other dual-zone trigger systems too.
