8:3 Saving in the Mapping page
The Mapping page allows you to save a number of different types of files. The
save functions are accessed from the Load menu on the BFD2 control bar.
Save Key Map
This function opens a system file save dialog, prompting you for a filename in
order to save the current articulation mappings as a BFD2 key map.
Save location
When you save your own key maps, you are prompted by default to save them in
the user level BFD2 folder at the following location:
/Maps
We recommend that you save your maps into this folder in order for them to be
visible in the keymap chooser panel. Wherever you save a key map, it is added to
the BFD2 database. It is very important to remember, however, that if it is removed
from the database (or if you trash and rebuild your database), items not saved in the user location are not re-scanned.
Key map files are saved with the .bfd2map extension.
A default image file is saved with key maps.
Save Automation Map
This function opens a system file save dialog, prompting you for a filename in order to save the current automation settings as a
BFD2 automation map.
Save Location
The default save location for automation maps is the same as that for key maps:
/Maps
It is recommended that you save your automation maps into this folder in order for them to be visible in the keymap chooser pan-
el. Wherever you save a map, it is added to the BFD2 database. It is very important to remember, however, that if it is removed
from the database (or if you trash and rebuild your database), items not saved in the user location are not re-scanned.
Automation map files are saved with the .bfd2auto extension.
A default image file is saved with automation maps.
Save Key + Automation maps
This function opens a system file save dialog, prompting you for a filename in order to save a key map and automation map with
the same name (although the two resulting map files have different extensions – .bfd2map and .bfd2auto).
Save Location
The default save location for these maps is:
/Maps
It is recommended that you save the maps into this folder in order for them to be visible in the chooser panels. Wherever you save
the maps, they is added to the BFD2 database. It is very important to remember, however, that if they are removed from the data-
base (or if you trash and rebuild your database), items not saved in the user location are not re-scanned.
A default image file is saved with the maps.
Save MIDI Event Log
You can save the contents of the MIDI Log for diagnostic and troubleshooting reasons. The MIDI Log is described in section 8:4.
When you select the Save MIDI Log function, a system file save dialog appears at the last used folder, prompting you for a
filename.
MIDI Event Logs are saved with the .log file extension.
