one. You can still independently mix the substituted tom: in other words, you can<br />
alter the tuning, panning and levels without affecting the original. To preserve a<br />
realistic three-tom set, it is advisable to retune the substituted tom.<br />
The indicator lights under the Mute buttons light up when any hits in each Kit-<br />
Piece are triggered via MIDI (or via the Groove Librarian).<br />
• Trim:<br />
This control allows you to trim the ambient level of each drumkit component,<br />
between +6 and -inf dB. Effectively, it functions as a ‘reverb send’ for the natural<br />
ambience in BFD’s mic buses.<br />
• Tune:<br />
Using this control, the pitch of each drumkit component can be tuned up or down<br />
an octave (+/- 1200 cents). This control acts globally for all mic buses.<br />
• Dyn (Dynamics):<br />
This control scales the velocity sensitivity of each drumkit component. The control’s<br />
value (-127 to 127) is added onto the velocity of each incoming MIDI note for<br />
that particular component.<br />
2. The Direct area<br />
This area of the mixer section controls only the sound of the<br />
Direct Master stereo bus or the Direct mono outputs (in BFD<br />
All), and does not affect the Overhead, Room or PZM mic buses.<br />
Here, each Kit-Piece has two controls (apart from the kick and<br />
the snare: more on those in a moment):<br />
• Trim:<br />
Controls the level of each Kit-Piece between -inf and +6 dB, in<br />
the Direct bus.<br />
• Pan:<br />
Here, you can control the position in the stereo field of each<br />
Kit-Piece, in the Direct Master stereo bus. They are only functional when using<br />
