Automation type

These three buttons allow you to choose between the 3 automation mapping types. Each automation type covers a different type
of automation method.

knobs.

MIDI notes
Click this button to view MIDI note automation mappings and map MIDI notes to BFD2 parameters. This method is especially
useful for button controls in BFD2.

Host automation
Click this button to view host automation mappings and map host automation parameters to BFD2 parameters.

BFD2 parameters

This column displays all assignable parameters in BFD2. A number of global parameters are shown, along with further param-
eters for the Kit, Mixer and Grooves pages, which are arranged in a tree-view list. Depending on the current automation type, any
parameters that are already mapped are highlighted in yellow.

Kit
The Kit section contains a list of all 32 available slots, each expandable to show its automatable parameters.

Mixer
The Mixer section has a number of global mixer parameters and also shows a list of the current channels, each expandable to
reveal its controllable parameters. The available channels in this list is updated dynamically as channels are added to the mixer.

Groove
The transport controls are shown in the Groove section, as well as an expandable item for the Groove FX controls.
