4:4 Undo function<br />
Every operation performed in the Groove page can be reversed by clicking the Undo button. This multiple-level Undo<br />
function is very useful as many functions which can drastically change your work are only a click away.<br />
The Undo button exists on the Groove page toolbar (see section 6:3). It does not operate like the rest of the toolbar buttons<br />
for changing Edit modes, and is not restricted to Editor functions – virtually any action performed in the Groove page can be<br />
undone.<br />
To see which action can be undone by clicking the Undo button, move the mouse over the undo button – the last action is shown<br />
in the context display in the BFD2 status bar.<br />
Virtually any action can be undone, so even if you load a new palette by accident, feel free to undo it.<br />
While you can set up any number of levels for the multiple-level Undo function in the BFD2 Grooves preferences, please note that<br />
having more levels of Undo available uses more RAM.<br />
4:5 Transport, tempo and time signature<br />
These controls, located in the BFD2 status bar, are used for a variety of purposes when using the Grooves page.<br />
Return<br />
to start<br />
Transport<br />
Play<br />
Use the Play button in the transport to start playback when using BFD2 as a standalone application.<br />
When using BFD2 as a plugin, it can be used while the host is stopped, until it is started, when playback restarts in sync with the<br />
host.<br />
The Play button is primarily used with the Auto-Play functions in BFD2: it is used to start playback of either the Drum Track or a<br />
Groove in the Palette.<br />
It is also used in conjunction with the Record button when recording Groove events via MIDI.<br />
Stop<br />
This button stops Groove playback. This is possible even when the BFD2 plugin is playing in sync with the host – Groove playback<br />
in BFD stops while the host keeps playing. If the host is stopped and restarted, Groove playback restarts in sync with the<br />
host position.<br />
After playback has been stopped in this way when using the Drum Track, if BFD2 is restarted without host sync, playback commences<br />
from the position at which playback was previously stopped.<br />
Record<br />
The Record button is used in conjunction with the MIDI Groove Recording features. This button is only accessible when the<br />
Grooves Page is shown, except if you start recording and then switch to another Page before stopping recording.<br />
Loop<br />
The Loop button is used in various Groove page features.<br />
• Used for enabling Looped MIDI Groove recording<br />
• Used for enabling Looped playback in the Drum Track<br />
Return to start<br />
The Return to start button is used with the Drum Track. When pressed, the playback position resets to position of the Start<br />
marker.<br />
This button can be used during playback without pressing Stop first. Doing so ‘disconnects’ synchronization if using BFD2 as a<br />
plugin in a host.<br />
