Cache memory display
This display shows the amount of RAM being used by BFD. As already discussed above,
BFD stores a small amount of each Kit-Piece Hit type (at all velocities) in RAM, in order
to circumvent inherent hard disk latencies.
This display will show a fi gure of around 44MB by default (in 24 bit mode), as BFD needs
to allocate a certain amount of RAM for the cache buffers and voices.
Data options
Load default kit when BFD starts
With this option and the Default Kit selector box, you can specify and load a Kit by default
when BFD is initiated. Click on the Default Kit box in order to bring up a fi le browser so
that a Kit fi le can be selected.
Data path
Clicking on this box allows you to specify a new BFD data path. Make sure you select the
BFD folder, not BFD/Data or anything else!
Data path 2
This box allows you to specify a second BFD data path. Only the Data subfolder will be
used in this second BFD folder. It is useful if you need to split data across more than one
drive for disk-space reasons.
9:2 Play Options panel
This panel lets you change a
number of different aspects of
the Groove Librarian’s
behaviour, as well as certain
other advanced settings related to the way in
which BFD plays.
These settings are saved in the registry
(Windows) and in a preferences fi le (MacOSX)
only when changes are explicitly made in the
panel.
This is because the settings are also saved
and recalled with the host song, and also
within BFD Programs.
Therefore, the settings stored in the registry
or preferences fi le can be considered as the
default settings which are recalled when BFD
is initialized.
