4:4 Undo function

Every operation performed in the Groove page can be reversed by clicking the Undo button. This multiple-level Undo

function is very useful as many functions which can drastically change your work are only a click away.

The Undo button exists on the Groove page toolbar (see section 6:3). It does not operate like the rest of the toolbar but-

tons for changing Edit modes, and is not restricted to Editor functions – virtually any action performed in the Groove page can be

undone.

To see which action can be undone by clicking the Undo button, move the mouse over the undo button – the last action is shown

in the context display in the BFD2 status bar.

Virtually any action can be undone, so even if you load a new palette by accident, feel free to undo it.

While you can set up any number of levels for the multiple-level Undo function in the BFD2 Grooves preferences, please note that

having more levels of Undo available uses more RAM.

4:5 Transport, tempo and time signature

These controls, located in the BFD2 status bar, are used for a variety of purposes when using the Grooves page.

Transport

Play

Use the Play button in the transport to start playback when using BFD2 as a standalone application.

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

host.

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

Groove in the Palette.

It is also used in conjunction with the Record button when recording Groove events via MIDI.

Stop

This button stops Groove playback. This is possible even when the BFD2 plugin is playing in sync with the host – Groove play-

back in BFD stops while the host keeps playing. If the host is stopped and restarted, Groove playback restarts in sync with the

host position.

After playback has been stopped in this way when using the Drum Track, if BFD2 is restarted without host sync, playback com-

mences from the position at which playback was previously stopped.

Record

The Record button is used in conjunction with the MIDI Groove Recording features. This button is only accessible when the

Grooves Page is shown, except if you start recording and then switch to another Page before stopping recording.

Loop

The Loop button is used in various Groove page features.

• Used for enabling Looped MIDI Groove recording

• Used for enabling Looped playback in the Drum Track

Return to start

The Return to start button is used with the Drum Track. When pressed, the playback position resets to position of the Start

marker.

This button can be used during playback without pressing Stop ﬁrst. Doing so ‘disconnects’ synchronization if using BFD2 as a

plugin in a host.

Panic

The Panic button stops playback of any Grooves that may be currently playing.
