OVERVIEW OF THE BFD INTERFACE
Help buttons
Click one of the (main interface) or (panels) help buttons in various parts of the BFD
interface in order to launch an HTML help fi le documenting that area of the plugin.
Context info display
The Context info display shows helpful information, labels and parameter values,
depending on the control underneath or being edited by the mouse.
Control conventions
Controls are adjusted by clicking and dragging them vertically up and down.
Controls can also be adjusted by moving the mouse over them and scrolling the
mousewheel.
Text-boxes are edited by double-clicking them and entering a new value
(press [ENTER] when you’re done).
Numerical and MIDI note text-boxes can usually be clicked and dragged up and down.
They can also also be adjusted by moving the mouse over them and scrolling the
mousewheel.
Please be aware of scrollbars in many panels – for example in the Hit Options Advanced
and MIDI CCs tab editors, and in the Kit and Kit-Piece selector panels. Where a scrollbar
exists, you can also use the mousewheel to scroll through the list.
There are a number of drop-down menus in the BFD interface. Wherever
the list of items exceeds the size of the menu, the ability to scroll through
the list, by clicking and dragging up or down at the menu boundaries, is
indicated by small red arrows.
Any specifi c control techniques and additional shortcuts, including those involving key-
board modifi ers, are explained where necessary for the relevant controls and parameters
discussed throughout the course of this manual.
When note names (such as C3, D4 etc.) are mentioned in this manual, the -2 octave
numbering system is used (see section 9:1).
