use a variable hihat controller to indicate the position within open/closed states of
the hihat pedal. When used with BFD, this method will use the definable/learnable
Variable Trigger note for triggering the hihat, with the controller position telling
BFD which sound to play from the available hits - closed, 1/2-open, and fully-open
hats.
To define a controller number, click the MIDI Learn button and move the controller
pedal, or enter it manually. You will also need to do the same for the Variable Trigger
note. In this mode, BFD uses the Tip hihats.
Unloading Hits
The checkbox next to each hit indicates that it is loaded in the current kit. If you
choose to, you can unload any hit by unchecking its respective checkbox. It is
useful for unloading flams and drags if you prefer to play/program these yourself,
for example, or if you do not need half-open hihats. Since every hit has a small
portion of its initial attack (defined by the RAM Cache Size option in the Options
panel) stored in RAM, it can be useful to unload any hits from RAM which are not
required.
If you play a note for a hit which has been unloaded (or if a playing Groove contains
it) then the closest available hit from the Kit-Piece will be used.
• note: None of the played Grooves use any snare flam or drag hits, so these can
safely be unloaded when working with them. However, please be aware that some
of the programmed Grooves (for example the RetroBreaks sets) do use them.
Hit Trim
Using the trim knob, you can adjust the volume of each hit within the Kit-Pieces.
This is extremely useful when you want to adjust the relative levels of open and
closed hihats, or main and rim snare, for example.
You can save and load Hit Options setups by using the buttons at the top of this
panel. Press the button in order to reset to default settings.
