Saving & Loading Programs
A Program fi le is a complete BFD setup: the current Kit, and Mixer, Kit-Piece Inspector,
Hit Options, Play Options and Groove Librarian settings. A Program is the only type of
preset fi le within BFD which stores the state of the Hit trim and Unload settings in the Hit
Options panel. It is the same information which is saved with a song when using BFD as
a plugin inside a host.
The buttons at the top-right of the BFD interface allow
you to Load and Save Programs. Programs are saved to
the BFD/Programs folder.
To summarize:
• A Kit is a collection of Kit-Pieces: no other information is stored
with it. Therefore, a Kit will not contain any key assignments,
Mixer settings, damping settings etc.
• A Program stores all settings within BFD : the Kit, the Mixer and Kit-Piece inspector
settings, note, MIDI CC and output assignments, Play Options, Hit trim and Unload
settings and the state of the Groove Librarian.
