Creating a new Groove in a slot<br />
If the currently selected Groove slot is empty, a shortcut to the New Groove function is shown in the Editor area. Click it to create<br />
a new 1-bar Groove in the slot.<br />
Alternatively, even if the slot is currently occupied by a Groove, right-click on a slot and select the New Groove function from the<br />
slot context menu that appears.<br />
If you have previously created changed a Groove’s length, creating a new Groove results in a Groove with the same length as the<br />
last Groove whose length was changed.<br />
If the slot already contains a Groove, you are asked for confirmation before a new Groove is created, replacing the previous contents<br />
of the slot.<br />
Playing the currently selected Groove<br />
When using the editor, you may want an easy method of playing back the edited Groove, without having to<br />
play the relevant MIDI key or click the Groove’s preview button in the Palette.<br />
If this is the case, firstly set the Auto-Play mode to ‘Palette’ and set the Palette Auto-play mode to ‘Current’<br />
in the BFD2 Session preferences (this is the default setting in case you haven’t touched these settings before). Then make sure<br />
that the Groove repeats when it ends by setting the Default and/or Slot Groove End Actions accordingly (see section 5:6 for more<br />
information on Groove Actions).<br />
This means that when playback is started, either via the BFD2 transport or via the host transport when running BFD2 as a plugin,<br />
the currently selected Groove in the Palette is played. Because the currently selected Groove is always shown in the Editor (as<br />
long as only one Groove is selected and the Focus button is not enabled), this is a very useful playback mode when editing<br />
Grooves.<br />
If the End Action of the Groove is set to move to a different Groove, you won’t see the playing Groove in the Editor, as it normally<br />
shows only the currently selected Groove. If you want to see the currently playing Groove instead, enable the Focus button in the<br />
Groove Editor (see section 6:4 for details).
