2:11 MIDI Note Learn wizard

The MIDI Learn Wizard is provided so that you can quickly assign MIDI mappings by playing the notes for each articulation on

your MIDI input device.

If you intend to use an electronic drumkit for hihat control, it is recommended that you refer to chapters 8 and 9, which deal with

manual mapping and conﬁguring BFD2 to respond to specialized electronic drumkit control systems.

Initializing the MIDI learn wizard

Click the Note Learn button in the Kit page toolbar to activate the Note Learn tool. Then click on a kit-piece slot in order to map its

articulations to notes via MIDI learn.

A kit-piece must be loaded into the slot in order to perform this function.

1. MIDI note request

Upon clicking a kit-piece, the MIDI Learn wizard appears, prompting you

to play the desired MIDI key for the kit-piece’s ﬁrst articulation (‘Hit’, or

‘closed tip’ for hihats).

Simply play the MIDI key you want to map to the articulation.

Next / Done button

If you do not want to map the current articulation, click the Next button to move onto the next articulation if one exists.

If there are no more articulations and no more kit-pieces loaded in subsequent slots (if using Next Slot mode), the Next button is

replaced by the Done button – click it to exit the wizard and return to the Kit page.

Previous button

If you have mapped an articulation and moved onto the next, but then change your mind about the last mapping you created, click

the Previous button to go back and re-map it.

Exit button

To quit the wizard without mapping the current articulation, click the Exit button.

2. Accept time

If a MIDI note is played in order to map the current articulation, the

wizard enters the ‘accept time’ stage, and you are given 5 seconds to

play a different MIDI note if you didn’t get it right the ﬁrst time. If you play

a different MIDI note, the process is repeated – you are again given 5

seconds to play another note.

The duration of the accept time can be deﬁned in the BFD2 MIDI prefer-

ences.

3. Repeat the process for the next articulation

After the accept time elapses without another note being played, the

articulation is mapped, and the wizard moves onto the next articulation

if one exists and the whole process is repeated from stage 1. Otherwise,

the wizard exits and you are returned to the Kit page.
