which has an additional 1/4-open position.

Tom set (Floor Tom, Mid Tom, High Tom)

Tom slots are slightly different to the others, as one Selector panel is used for three Kit-
Plece slots. You can load individual toms (or any other type of Kit-Piece) into each tom
slot by using the Type and Slot drop-down menus in the Tom Selector.

Cymbals 1,2,3

BFD does not come with ride bell samples on the installation disks. Bell samples for
two of the included rides (PearlB and Slingerland) are provided for free download after
registering on our website.

The choke hit does not represent a sound. Instead, it offers a means of stopping a
ringing cymbal before it completes its natural decay. Choking can also be controlled using
polyphonic pressure (aftertouch) messages: see section 7:2 for details).
