2:6 Loading Kit-Pieces

Overview

To load a kit-piece into a slot, click the Load button on the slot to open the kit-piece chooser panel.

You can also double-click anywhere on a kit-piece slot in order to open the panel.

Click on a kit-piece to select it. You can preview individual articulations at any velocity before loading the kit-piece. Once the de-

sired kit-piece is selected, click the Load button to load it into the slot.

You can also double-click a kit-piece in order to load it.

To return to the Kit page without loading a new kit-piece, click the Cancel button.

BFD2 also offers the kit-piece quick-load controls in the kit-piece inspector, for fast browsing through available kit-pieces without

opening the chooser panel. See section 2:9 for details.

You can also load kit-pieces in various ways in the Mixer and Grooves pages.

Each slot is intended for a speciﬁc type of kit-piece. By default, the Type drop-down menu and Search criteria are set so that the

chooser panel shows the relevant kit-piece type. If you try to load a kit-piece into the Ride 1 slot for example, Type is set to ‘Cym-

bal’ and “Ride” is used as the Search criteria.

However, you can load any type of kit-piece into any slot. Simply change the Type and Search settings in order to change the

displayed kit-piece type.

Controls in the kit-piece chooser panel

View size

This drop-down menu selects the size of kit-piece images shown in the chooser panel. A

range of settings are available, including text-only displays. Larger sizes result in larger pho-

tos but requires more use of the scrollbars in order to view all the available items. The ‘List’

and ‘Details’ settings result in faster operation due to the fact that images are not displayed.

You can still see a photo for each kit-piece by selecting it – its details are displayed in the

inspector.

This setting is used for all kit-piece slot choosers, and is recalled between sessions. Its state

is stored in the BFD2 preferences – therefore, if you re-initialize your BFD2 preferences this

setting is returned to the default ‘Standard’ size.
