LOADING AND SAVING PRESETS BFD has 4 different types of presets: Kit Combo Preset: .bfk Location: BFD/Kits This preset type contains information about the loaded kit components. You load and save these presets via the buttons just under the Kit Display. Mixer Setup preset: .bfm Location: BFD/Mixers These files contain information about the mixer section. These can be saved and loaded, as well as browsed quickly with the buttons, by using the mixer section preset bar, located just above the Distance and Width controls on the mixer. Hit Options preset: .bft (BFD triggers) Location: BFD/KeyMaps You can save preferred layouts of key assignments as defined in the Hit Options panel. Global Preset: .bfp (BFD programs) Location: BFD/Programs This type of preset file is a global setting: it contains both kit and mixer and key assignment setups and, as such, can be regarded as a combination of .bfk, .bfm and .bfp files. To load and save a global preset, use the buttons on the top-right of the BFD interface. Your host should save the state of the plugin when you save a song. Effectively this is like saving a .bfp file. 59
OTHER FILE TYPES USED IN BFD As well as the preset file formats listed above, BFD uses a number of other filetypes: Grooves and Fills: .mid Location: BFD/Grooves and BFD/Fills These are standard MIDI files. Groove and Fill Bundles: .bfb Location: BFD/Grooves and BFD/Fills These are text files which reference up to twelve Grooves and Fills. Swing Templates: .txt Location: BFD/SwingTemplates These are text files which contain information on time-distortion mapping used in the Quantization panel’s Swing Template functionality. 60
