7:2 Drum Track Introduction
The Drum Track allows you to put together a sequence of Grooves to form an entire track of drums.
Enabling the Drum Track
The Drum Track remains inactive until Auto-play is enabled and the Auto-play Mode is set to ‘Drum Track’.
Drum Track synchronization
Playback follows the host tempo and time signature if you are running BFD as a plugin within a host, and synchronizes to its the
host playback position when the host transport is running.
If you are using the standalone version of BFD2, or if the host transport is stopped, use the transport, tempo and time signature
controls in BFD2’s status bar to control playback.
You cannot create tempo or time signature changes in the BFD2 Drum Track. If you need such functionality, you must use a host
that is capable of this. BFD2’s Drum Track follows host tempo changes. It also tracks host time signature changes, but does not
represent them graphically. Therefore, if you use tempo changes, we recommend that you sequence BFD2 entirely from the host.
Looped playback
If the Loop button is enabled on the BFD2 transport, playback does not follow the host playback position. Instead, when the play
position reaches the end loop indicator in the Drum Track ruler, playback loops back to the position specified by the start loop indi-
cator.
