Next/Previous buttons<br />
Clicking these buttons steps through to the next or previous available preset. They offer a<br />
quick way of cycling through presets with the minimum of effort.<br />
Saving kit-piece presets<br />
In order to save the currently selected kit-piece’s settings as a preset, click the Save button<br />
on BFD2’s control-bar. Click on ‘Save kit-piece preset’ from the Save menu that appears.<br />
A system file save dialog is shown, allowing you to name and save your preset. It is recommended<br />
that you save the preset in the default folder which is shown, so that it is accessible<br />
from the preset browser.<br />
Kit-piece presets are not part of the BFD2 database. They are stored in the following folder:<br />
/Kit Pieces<br />
Basic kit-piece controls<br />
Trim<br />
The trim control is a global volume control for the kit-piece. Adjusting it affects<br />
the level of all the kit-piece’s mic channels equally. You can think of it as a ‘pre’<br />
volume control - it sets the level of the kit-piece at the start of the signal path,<br />
before any routing and mixing features are applied.<br />
This control is duplicated in the individual kit-piece slot windows.<br />
Pan<br />
The pan control sets the pan position of the kit-piece within the direct bus. It does not affect the stereo position of the kit-piece in<br />
its ambience channels.<br />
This control is duplicated in the individual kit-piece slot windows, and on the primary direct channel for the kit-piece in the Mixer<br />
page.<br />
Mute & Solo<br />
With these buttons, you can mute and solo all mic channels for the kit-piece.<br />
These controls are duplicated in the individual kit-piece slot windows.<br />
Flip Ambience<br />
Because the ambient mic buses are stereo, you can encounter problems when panning the Direct mic channels for a Kit-Piece.<br />
The position of the Kit-Piece within the stereo field of the ambient mic buses cannot be changed - this is an inherent drawback of<br />
true stereo ambience. However, activating the Flip Ambience button results in the Kit-Piece’s Overhead, Room and PZM left/right<br />
channels being swapped around.<br />
Using this method, the Kit-Piece’s ambient reflections can at least be inverted if you decide to alter the direct panning so that it is<br />
predominantly in the other half of the stereo field.<br />
In addition you can use the Width controls in the Bus Mixer in order to manipulate the stereo properties of the ambient mic buses.<br />
