Keyboard shortcuts for mixer operation BFD2 provides a number of keyboard shortcuts for mixer operation. If you’re using BFD2 as a plugin in a host, you should be aware that some hosts take control of the keyboard and do not allow keyboard shortcuts to be routed to BFD2. The following shortcuts are available: Previous channel Next channel Increase Gain Decrease Gain Toggle Solo Toggle Mute Toggle Phase Toggle Record enable Delete channel ← → ↑ ↓ PAGE-UP PAGE-DOWN P R DELETE Please note that, as with any control in BFD2, you can hold down SHIFT to achieve fine control when manipulating controls such as faders and knobs. Channel context menu BFD2’s mixer features a comprehensive system of managing channel settings, including loading and saving channel settings as presets. This is achieved by using the channel context menu. You can access this context menu by right-clicking anywhere on a channel, or by clicking its context menu button. Note that the channel context menu applies only to the channel on which it appears, regardless of whether multiple channels are currently selected. The exception is the ‘Remove all unused’ function, which removes all currently unused channels in the mixer. Load channel preset This function brings up a system file load dialog which allows you to load a previously saved channel strip preset. Any applicable settings are loaded – if the preset contains settings that are inappropriate for the destination channel, they are ignored. Save channel preset Using this function, you can save the contents of a channel strip to a preset for future use via a system file save dialog box. Copy channel This function copies the settings of the channel strip to the clipboard. Paste channel This function pastes the channel strip settings stored in the clipboard to the current channel. Any applicable settings are applied – if the clipboard preset contains settings that are inappropriate for the destination channel, they are ignored. Reset channel This function resets the channel’s parameters to their initialized state (default settings), although FX and sends are not affected. Clear channel FX This function removes all FX currently inserted on the channel. Clear channel sends This function removes any send settings on the channel. It does not appear on the master channel’s context menu, as it does not possess any sends. Remove channel This function appears only when applicable. It allows you to remove aux channels and direct or ambience channels that are not being used by loaded kit-pieces or by bleed signals from other kit-pieces. Remove all unused Unlike the other functions on the channel context menu, ‘Remove all unused’ does not apply only to the current channel. It removes all currently unused channels in the mixer – this includes direct and ambience channels that are not being used by loaded kit-pieces or by bleed signals from other kit-pieces, as well as aux channels that are not output or send destinations from any channels.
Signal Routing indicators In order to make it easier to visualize output, send and sidechain routings, BFD2 features routing overlay indicators to graphically represent current signal routings. By default, these routing indicators are turned off. Click the Signal button in the mixer toolbar in order to enable them. Output routing indicators Moving the mouse cursor over the Output Routing selector for a channel displays a red arrow from it to the destination channel. Send and sidechain routing indicators Send routing indicator If a sidechain is routed to a channel, moving the mouse cursor over the sidechain send displays a light blue arrow from it to the destination channel. Additionally, the sidechain send’s controls in the Sends inspector are highlighted. Channel routing indicators Channel routing indicators Turning off signal routing indicators When Sends are visible on the mixer, moving the mouse cursor over a channel’s send displays a red arrow from it to the destination channel. Additionally, the send’s controls in the Sends inspector are highlighted. Moving the mouse cursor over a channel’s name results in all of the channel’s routings being displayed: • Output routings to and from it • Send and sidechain routings to and from it If you find the routing indicators distracting, you can disable them using the Signal view switch in the mixer toolbar.
