4:3 Loading and saving in the Groove page
There are several different elements that can be loaded and saved in the Groove page. All of these load and save functions are
available from the Load and Save menus situated on BFD2’s Control bar.
Load Groove...
This function brings up the Groove chooser in order to load a Groove into the current
slot, or multiple Grooves on sequentially higher slots starting at the current slot.
If the currently selected Groove slot is empty, a shortcut to the Load Groove... func-
tion is shown in the editor area.
See section 5:2 for a guide to loading Grooves.
BFD2 is capable of loading Grooves in its own format as well as the MIDI file Grooves
used in BFD1.x, although these are not visible by default since BFD2 ships with the
entire BFD1.5 Groove Library converted into the new format. If you have additional
BFD1.x Grooves, see section 5:7 for further details on loading them in BFD2.
Load Palette...
This function brings up the Palette chooser, allowing you select a Palette to load.
Please note that doing so overwrites all settings in the Groove page, including any
Grooves already in the Palette, any Groove FX or editor settings and any events on
the Drum Track.
If the currently selected Groove slot is empty, a shortcut to the Load Palette function is shown in the editor area.
See section 5:3 for details on loading Palettes.
BFD2 is capable of loading old format BFD1.x format Bundles, although this capability is disabled by default due to BFD2 ship-
ping with the entire BFD 1.x library converted to BFD2 format. If you have additional BFD1.x Bundles, see section 5:7 for details
on using them.
Save Groove...
This function saves the currently selected Groove to the BFD2 database.
Please note that this saves a Groove in BFD2 Groove format. You can export as MIDI
by using the Export Groove MIDI... function on the BFD2 Save menu.
See section 5:8 for a guide to saving Grooves.
Save Palette...
You can save the current contents of the Palette using the Save Palette button on the
Palette.
When you save the Palette, the saved file contains all constituent Grooves and their
slot actions, Groove FX and Editor settings, and the contents of the Drum Track. This
means that a saved Palette is more than just the contents of the Palette slots.
See section 5:9 for more details on saving Palettes.
Export Groove MIDI...
This function opens a system dialog box to save the currently selected Groove as a
MIDI file.
If multiple Grooves are selected, a separate MIDI file is saved for each Groove.
See section 5:8 for more details on exporting Grooves as MIDI files.
Export Groove Audio...
The Export Audio function performs an audio export of the current Groove selection.
If multiple Grooves are selected, a separate set of audio files is saved in a separate folder for each selected Groove.
See section 5:8 for more details of this function.
Export Track MIDI...
This function exports the entire Drum Track as a MIDI file.
See section 7:7 for more details.
Export Track Audio...
The Export Audio function performs an audio export of the Drum Track.
See section 7:7 for further details.
