Layering multiple articulations on a single key<br />
You can place as many articulations as you like, from any kit-pieces, on a single key. This offers a more advanced means of layering<br />
sounds than using the Link function in the Kit page. Simply keep dragging additional articulations from any kit-piece to the<br />
same key.<br />
Please note that you cannot layer slot choke articulations. If you try to drag a slot choke onto a key containing one or more existing<br />
articulations, you are prompted to overwrite the current assignments for the key. Likewise, if you try to drag another articulation<br />
onto a key containing a slot choke, you are prompted to overwrite the slot choke with the new assignment.<br />
Special articulations<br />
Slot Choke<br />
Any kit-piece can be choked by playing a slot choke key. This stops the decay of any kit-piece according to its fade settings in the<br />
BFD2 Engine preferences.<br />
Please note that you cannot layer a slot choke note with any other articulation - placing a choke note on a key overwrites any<br />
mapping that already exists on that key.<br />
If you use an electronic drumkit that supports manual cymbal choking using polyphonic aftertouch (poly pressure) messages, you<br />
can enable the Choke with aftertouch setting in the BFD2 MIDI Preferences. Please note that aftertouch choking only works on<br />
cymbals.<br />
All Articulations, upwards<br />
All Articulations, downwards<br />
These are used for mapping all articulations to consecutive keys, going either up the keyboard from the selected key, or down.<br />
Variable tip (hihat slot only)<br />
Variable shank (hihat slot only)<br />
These articulations appear for hihats only. Please see section 9:3 for more details.<br />
Variable snare (snares only)<br />
This articulation appears for snares only. Please see section 9:5 for more details.<br />
