OTHER CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS
11:1 Miscellaneous functions on the interface
Help buttons
Click one of the (main interface) or (panels) help buttons in various parts of the BFD
interface in order to launch an HTML help fi le documenting that area of the plugin.
Context info display
The Context info display shows helpful information, labels and parameter values,
depending on the control underneath or being edited by the mouse.
Mixer MIDI Learn
The Learn button at the bottom of the BFD interface allows you to quickly assign multiple
BFD controls to MIDI continuous controllers, without using the MIDI CCs tab of the Hit
Options panel.
Click the Learn button and then move a BFD control. Then, move the control on the
external MIDI controller device which you want to assign to it. This process can be
repeated as many times as necessary for any number of BFD controls. When you’re
done, exit MIDI Learn mode by clicking the Learn button again.
Please note that if you wish to save your assignments, you need to use the Save button
in the MIDI CCs tab of the Hit Options panel.
Bounce switch
This switch is intended for use with hosts that provide an offl ine bounce facility. When the
Bounce switch is on, BFD waits for all data to be properly delivered from the hard disk
before allowing the host to continue, ensuring that sounds are not cut off before their full
decay is complete.
Please note that the Bounce mode is non-realtime, and should only be used during
offl ine rendering in your sequencer (if it offers this feature).
If your sequencer only provides realtime bounce facilities (such as Logic 5.5.1 on
Windows), you should leave Bounce mode turned off, and bounce the output from BFD in
the host in the normal way.
