USING THE MPD24 WITH BFD LITE
BFD is the premiere software drum module, featuring high-quality
drum samples for realistic drum performance. BFD Lite can be used
as a standalone computer application, or as a VST instrument which
can be dropped into your favorite host environment. BFD Lite
features the same great feel and functions as BFD and you can
upgrade to the full version of BFD by visiting their web page at
www.fxpansion.com
.
We have included a default MIDI map for BFD Lite which gives you access to all the major
features of the software.
The MPD24 comes with a preset which is already set up to work with BFD or BFD Lite.
1. To load the preset in the MPD24, press the [PRESET] button and use the [VALUE] dial
to select preset number 1 – “BFD Lite”. Press the [VALUE] dial to load the preset.
!
If you have edited MPD24’s presets and are unable to load the BFD, use the
supplied Uniquest Editor to load the Factory Preset Bank and “PUT” or download
the factory preset bank into the MPD24.
2. After installing the BFD Lite software on your computer, run BFD Lite in standalone mode
or as a VSTi in your host application.
BFD Lite should automatically load a default drum kit and the MIDI CC mappings
needed to work with the MPD24.
We have laid out the pads, sliders and knobs in a way to make the most use out of the MPD24:
x You can control the levels of the various mics, the master level and the hi-hat open/close
status via the MPD24 Faders.
x The knobs are mapped to the tuning of the drums with the addition of K2 being mapped
to control the mic position on the kick drum and K4 being mapped to the mic position of
the snare drum.
x The pads are mapped for playing the individual drum sounds as well as controlling
playback of the grooves and fills.
Pad Bank A is set up for playing the drum sounds.
Pad Bank B is set up to trigger the Grooves in Bank A.
Pad Bank C is set up to trigger the Grooves in Bank B.
Pad Bank D is set up to trigger the Grooves in the Fills bank.
Note that pads 13-16 in the B, C and D banks are not assigned to anything.
