HIT OPTIONS PANEL
The Hit Options panel allows you to preview, and to adjust the key
assignments and trim levels, for the different hits in each Kit-Piece of the
currently loaded drumkit. It also allows the facility to unload any hit from the
current kit. In addition, it lets you assign a continuous MIDI controller for hihat
control, so that a variable controller pedal such as those used in Clavia D-Drums,
Roland V-Drums and DrumKats, can be used.
Exit the panel without making any changes by clicking its icon again, or by clicking
the icon in the top-right corner, or bring up a new panel instead by clicking
another panel icon.
Previewing Hits
You can preview each hit at varying velocity by clicking on the name of the hit.
Veloicity is varied from the left (velocity 0) to the right (127) of the name label.
Note Assignments
The MIDI note assignment of each note can either be set manually, or by using
the MIDI Learn button.
To change the values manually, either:
• click and drag vertically the note-value box
• hover the mouse pointer above the note-value box and scroll your mousewheel
• double-click the note-value box and enter the new value with the computer key-
board
MIDI Learn
To use MIDI Learn, click the MIDI learn button for the hit whose key mapping you
wish to change. The button will indicate it is waiting for a MIDI signal. Trigger the
MIDI note you wish to use - BFD will now have learned the assignment.
Any duplicate note assignments are highlighted in blue.
Hihat Controller
This option lets you define a MIDI controller number for use with the hihat, so that
a variable hihat controller can be used with BFD. Most electronic drumkit systems
