Single-articulation previews
If a key contains a single articulation, click the key while holding down the ALT key to hear a preview of the articulation. For qui-
eter velocities, click towards the left of the key. Clicking the key towards its right results in higher velocity previews.
Previews are not available for keys containing multiple articulations, or for keys containing a single articulation of a non-loaded
kit-piece (labelled with a (!) indicator).
Key context menu
By right-clicking on a key, the key context menu appears. This menu allows you
to cut, copy and paste mappings between keys.
Cut
Removes any mappings from the key and stores them in the clipboard.
Copy
Stores the key’s mappings in the clipboard and leaves them intact on the key.
Paste
If the clipboard contains cut or copied mapping settings, this function pastes
them to the key.
MIDI event log
The MIDI event log displays a list of all MIDI events received by BFD2. It is very
useful for troubleshooting and making advanced mapping tasks easier.

The log displays incoming MIDI data in the following format:
Notes
Channel [1-1]
Note On [C0 - G10)
Velocity [1-1)
MIDI Continuous Controllers (CCs)
Channel [1-1]
CC [0-1)
Value [1-1)
Other MIDI messages (e.g. Pitchbend etc.)

Message [value)
Use the scrollbar to scroll up towards older events in the log buffer.
Note that this log is also provided as an auxiliary window: click the MIDI log button on the BFD2 Status bar to open an external
window.
Clear log
Clicking this button clears the entire contents of the MIDI event log.
Save log
Using this button, you can save the current contents of the event log, for
troubleshooting or technical support purposes.
External MIDI Log
You can also use BFD2’s external MIDI log window. Simply click the
MIDI log button in the Status bar in order to open this window. Its
contents are exactly the same as the key mapping page’s MIDI event
log.
