MIDI in channel
This parameter sets the MIDI channel on which BFD responds.
MIDI out channel
This option sets the MIDI channel on which to transmit events if the MIDI out function is
enabled.
MIDI out enabled
When using BFD as a VST Instrument, the output of the Groove Librarian can be routed
back to the host as a MIDI input if this option is enabled. Please note that, currently, VST
is the only plugin format which supports this functionality. Please see section 8:8 for more
details on this feature.
Respond to MIDI CCs
This option enables MIDI continuous controller support. It is essential when using the
variable hihat pedal method of playing different hihat Hit types (see section 7:2).
MIDI CCs can also be used to automate most controls in BFD. Please see sections 7:5
and 11:1 for more details on adjusting MIDI CC assignments.
You can safely disable this option if you don’t need this functionality.
Anti-machinegun mode
Enabling the Anti-machinegun mode option forces BFD not to play two identical velocity
layers if the same Kit-Piece Hit type is triggered at the same velocity layer twice in
succession. This effectively removes the ‘machinegun’ effect which can make drum rolls
and other intricate parts sound unrealistic.
The effect of this setting can be adjusted for individual Hit types by using the VRnd
parameter within the Hit Options Advanced tab (see section 7:4).
Disable sidestick tuning
With this option checked, the sidestick Hit type for snares will not be affected by changes
to the Tune parameter, more closely resembling how a real snare works.
