8:9 Mapping MIDI notes to BFD2 controls<br />
To map MIDI notes to BFD2 controls, select ‘MIDI note’ as the automation type.<br />
Automation parameters table in<br />
MIDI note view<br />
When ‘MIDI note’ is selected as the automation type, the automation<br />
source table switches to MIDI note mode. It is comprised of three<br />
columns.<br />
Note<br />
There are 128 available notes per MIDI channel in the MIDI specification.<br />
Notes are arranged in the table from the lowest note (C-2) to the<br />
highest note (G8).<br />
Mode<br />
There are two possible modes – momentary and toggle. Momentary<br />
mode engages the control while the MIDI note is held down – upon<br />
release the control returns to its ‘off’ state. Toggle mode, on the other hand, is a ‘latching’ behaviour – play the note once and<br />
release it to engage a control, and play/release the note again to return it to its ‘off’ state.<br />
BFD2 decides on a suitable default setting for the mode, depending on the BFD2 parameter being mapped. By clicking in this<br />
column, you can override this setting.<br />
Parameter<br />
When an mapping has been created, the assigned BFD2 parameter is shown in this column.<br />
When no mapping exists for a note, this column is blank.<br />
Mode<br />
This column allows 2 different modes of MIDI note control behaviour.<br />
Toggle (default)<br />
Toggle mode is a ‘latching’ behaviour – play the note once and release it to engage a control, and<br />
play/release the note again to return it to its ‘off’ state.<br />
Momentary<br />
In this mode, the assigned BFD2 control is engaged when the MIDI note is held down (when it sends a MIDI note on message).<br />
Upon release of the MIDI note (when it sends a MIDI note off message) the control returns to its ‘off’ state.<br />
• Assigning BFD2 transport controls<br />
If you need to assign the BFD2 transport controls, it is recommended to use momentary mode.<br />
Creating a MIDI note mapping<br />
1. First make sure that ‘MIDI note’ is selected as the automation type.<br />
2. Find the BFD2 parameter you want to assign in the BFD2 parameters column.<br />
3. In the automation source table, find the MIDI note to which you want to map the BFD2 parameter. You can use the learn mode<br />
function and play the relevant note in order to jump to and select the desired note.<br />
4. Drag and drop the parameter from the BFD2 parameters column to the desired note in the automation source table.<br />
Alternatively, you can also select the desired MIDI note in the automation source table and double-click the desired parameter in<br />
the BFD2 parameter column.<br />
5. If required, set the mode of the assignment to ‘Momentary’.<br />
Mapping indication in BFD2 parameter table<br />
If a BFD2 parameter has been mapped to a MIDI note or CC, it is highlighted in yellow in the BFD2 parameter column.<br />
Mapping an already-mapped BFD2 parameter<br />
If a BFD2 parameter is already mapped to a MIDI CC or note, creating a new mapping for the parameter results in erasing the<br />
previous mapping.<br />
