Vel to Amp default<br />

During the BFD2 setup wizard which runs when you first launch BFD2, you<br />

are asked if you want an amplitude-scaled response. Your choice initializes<br />

the state of the Vel to Amp default amount preference.<br />

If you choose a natural response – a Vel to Amp setting of 0% – there is<br />

no amplitude scaling with different velocities within BFD2: the velocity layer<br />

samples, played at varying degrees of force, take care of the ‘loudness’ over<br />

the velocity range.<br />

If you choose an amplitude-scaled response during the setup wizard, the Vel<br />

to Amp default is set to +100%. This means that the amplitude scales down to silence over the velocity range.<br />

Setting up this preference is a good idea if you want to have a more ‘conventional’ dynamic response for BFD2’s sounds without<br />

having to set the Vel to Amp parameter for each articulation in each kit-piece after you load it, or load a suitable kit-piece preset.<br />

This preference can be fine-tuned in the Engine preferences, where you can specify a default Vel to Amp amount between -100%<br />

and +100%.<br />

Vel to Tune<br />

This control allows the tuning of each articulation to vary depending on the incoming note velocity.<br />

There are a lot of uses for this control, from extreme creative effects to very subtle changes which can give some extra character<br />

to the sound of the kit.<br />

Settings range from -100% to 100%. This parameter can have positive and negative values for increases and decreases in pitch<br />

with higher velocities.<br />

Vel to Damp<br />

Adjusting this setting allows the amount of damping applied to the articulation to be varied according to the velocity of incoming<br />

note events.<br />

Any changes in the damping applied to each articulation as a result of this parameter are relative to the kit-piece’s overall damping<br />

amount setting.<br />

Settings range from -100% to 100%. This parameter can have positive and negative values for increases and decreases in the<br />

damping amount with higher velocities.<br />

Vel RND<br />

The Vel RND control allows you to control the amount of humanization applied to each articulation of a kit-piece when using any<br />

of the humanization features in BFD2.<br />

Settings range from 0% to 100%. To turn off randomization completely for an articulation, set this parameter to 0%.<br />

It can be useful to turn off randomization for articulations or kit-pieces when using lower Max velocity layers and detail settings<br />

– randomization in these cases can sound unnatural and intrusive.
