• Bundle:

A group of up to twelve Grooves. Bundles are small files which point to any

Grooves or Fills. BFD comes supplied with a comprehensive library of Grooves

is loaded into the slot. When a MIDI key within the range of the Groove Librarian's

key mappings is pressed, the MIDI note value and the Groove name are high-
