2:11 MIDI Note Learn wizard
The MIDI Learn Wizard is provided so that you can quickly assign MIDI mappings by playing the notes for each articulation on
your MIDI input device.
If you intend to use an electronic drumkit for hihat control, it is recommended that you refer to chapters 8 and 9, which deal with
manual mapping and configuring BFD2 to respond to specialized electronic drumkit control systems.
Initializing the MIDI learn wizard
Click the Note Learn button in the Kit page toolbar to activate the Note Learn tool. Then click on a kit-piece slot in order to map its
articulations to notes via MIDI learn.
A kit-piece must be loaded into the slot in order to perform this function.
1. MIDI note request
Upon clicking a kit-piece, the MIDI Learn wizard appears, prompting you
to play the desired MIDI key for the kit-piece’s first articulation (‘Hit’, or
‘closed tip’ for hihats).
Simply play the MIDI key you want to map to the articulation.
Next / Done button
If you do not want to map the current articulation, click the Next button to move onto the next articulation if one exists.
If there are no more articulations and no more kit-pieces loaded in subsequent slots (if using Next Slot mode), the Next button is
replaced by the Done button – click it to exit the wizard and return to the Kit page.
Previous button
If you have mapped an articulation and moved onto the next, but then change your mind about the last mapping you created, click
the Previous button to go back and re-map it.
Exit button
To quit the wizard without mapping the current articulation, click the Exit button.
2. Accept time
If a MIDI note is played in order to map the current articulation, the
wizard enters the ‘accept time’ stage, and you are given 5 seconds to
play a different MIDI note if you didn’t get it right the first time. If you play
a different MIDI note, the process is repeated – you are again given 5
seconds to play another note.
The duration of the accept time can be defined in the BFD2 MIDI preferences.
3. Repeat the process for the next articulation
After the accept time elapses without another note being played, the
articulation is mapped, and the wizard moves onto the next articulation
if one exists and the whole process is repeated from stage 1. Otherwise,
the wizard exits and you are returned to the Kit page.
