OTHER INFORMATION
12:1 Preset fi les used within BFD

Hit Options key assignment preset: .bft (BFD trigger preset)

These presets store layouts of note assignments as defi ned in the Hit Options panel.
Hit trim and Unload settings are not saved in these presets – they are only saved in
Programs.

combination of .bfk, .bfm , .bft, .bfc, and .bfm_OM fi les, with Kit-Piece Inspector and Hit
trim & Unload settings in addition.
To load and save a global preset, use the buttons on the top-right of the BFD interface.
When you save a song, your host should save everything which would be saved in a BFD
Program. Effectively this is like saving a .bfd fi le.
