OPTIONS PANEL
This icon activates the Options panel. Here, you can toggle various
options within BFD, which affect how it performs.
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.
Animation options
It is strongly recommended to turn off animations if you are using a relatively slow
computer, or a laptop, as the additional CPU load generated by the animations
might lead to an impairment of performance. You can turn off any or all of the animated
panels, hit-indicator lights, tempo beat indicator light and level VU LED’s.
Enable Context Info
This enables the context-sensitive Status window at the bottom of the plugin window.
When you move the mouse over a control, it shows a summary of the control
and its value. You can turn off this functionality here if you find it a distraction.
Load Default Kit
With this option and the Default Kit selector box, you can specify and load a kit by
default when BFD is initiated. Click on the Default Kit box in order to bring up a file
browser so that a kit can be selected.
-2 Octave Numbering
Some sequencers, such as Cubase and Logic, use an octave numbering system
which begins at C-2, rather than C0 in sequencers such as Sonar and FL Studio.
When it launches, BFD attempts to detect the sequencer used and adjusts the
naming convention used in the Hit Options panel and Groove Librarian Banks. You
can override this by manually setting this option in order to use whatever convention
you prefer.
16 Bit Mode
In this mode, sample data is loaded into RAM and streamed from disk at 16 bit
instead of 24 bit. This effectively halves the memory footprint required by BFD’s
data.
