MIXER SECTION<br />
A note on the controls:<br />
Controls are manipulated by clicking on them and dragging up and down. Doubleclicking<br />
any control returns it to its default value. Holding down the [SHIFT] key<br />
while moving a control allows fine control over it. You can also move a control by<br />
hovering the mouse pointer over it, and moving your mouse-wheel, if your mouse<br />
has one.<br />
BFD’s mixer section is divided into three areas.<br />
1. The Kit-Piece area<br />
• Kit-Piece labels:<br />
The name labels for each Kit-Piece have a handy<br />
preview functionality. Clicking on the name previews<br />
the sound with the left to right position mapping to<br />
increased velocity.<br />
• Solo and Mute buttons:<br />
These lit buttons allow you to solo or mute any Kit-<br />
Piece(s). When one or more parts are soloed, the<br />
Mute buttons light up for all non-soloed parts, giving<br />
an easily-visible indication of the mute/solo status. If<br />
a muted part is soloed, when the Solo button is deactivated,<br />
the muted status will return.<br />
• Small indicator lights:<br />
The indicator lights beneath the Solo buttons show the load status of each Kit-<br />
Piece ‘slot’. A red light indicates that there is no Kit-Piece loaded, an orange light<br />
shows that the samples for that Kit-Piece are being queued up for loading. A<br />
yellow light indicates that it is in the process of loading, and the light turns green<br />
when a Kit-Piece has successfully been loaded.<br />
Additionally, there is also a blue status for the high, medium and floor tom<br />
indicator lights. This is to show that a substitution has occurred. Some of BFD’s<br />
kits have only two toms, because the original kit did not have either a mid or high<br />
tom. In these cases, one of the other toms in the kit is substituted for the missing<br />
