FXpansion BFD Premium Acoustic Drum Module - Manual (Page 31)

25
Width
This control, available for the Overhead, Room and PZM buses, adjusts the stereo
width of each ambient mic bus. It ranges from mono (minimum) through stereo (centre
position) to enhanced stereo (maximum). Extreme settings of enhanced stereo should be
used carefully as they can add an out of phase component to your mix. Changes to the
distance parameters are refl ected in the Drum Room ‘moving mics’.
Master
This is an overall master volume level control for all of the Buses together. In the master
output plugin (BFD Stereo) this will control the overall level of the single stereo channel.
In the multi-channel versions of the plugin (BFD Groups, BFD All and BFD Ultra), it
controls the relative level of all separate outputs.
Master Dynamics
This is a global control to scale the incoming velocity of all Kit-Piece triggers. Its value,
ranging from -127 to 127, is added to the velocity of all incoming notes (from either
normal MIDI input or from the Groove Librarian), after the individual Kit-Piece Dynamics
values have been added.
5:4 Mixer presets
The Load and Save Mixer preset buttons bring up a standard fi le browser with which to
store and recall mixer settings. The default location is the BFD/Mixers folder, and presets
are saved as .bfm fi les.
Mixer preset browser
If you save your Mixer presets into the BFD/
Mixers folder, you can use the Mixer preset
browser in order to quickly switch between the
various presets stored in the folder. Use the
and buttons to browse sequentially
through the presets in the folder. The name of the preset will be displayed between these
buttons.
Saving defaults
If you have custom Mixer settings which you want to use whenever BFD is initialized,
save them into the BFD/Mixers folder as default.bfm. You can always recall the factory
default settings by loading factorydefault.bfm, re-saving it as the default if necessary.
Reset button
Clicking the Reset button, found at the
bottom of the BFD interface (to the right of
the context info display and Bounce button),
reverts the Mixer back to the settings contained within default.bfm.
[SHIFT]-clicking the Reset button reverts back to the factory defaults.
