USING THE MPD26 WITH BFD
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.
We have included a default MIDI map for BFD which gives you access to all the major features
of the software.
The MPD26 comes with a preset which is already set up to work with BFD or BFD Lite.
1. To load the preset in the MPD26, press the [PRESET] button and use the [VALUE] dial to select preset number 8
– “FXPanBFD”. Press the [VALUE] dial to load the preset.
!
If you have edited MPD26’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 MPD26.
We have laid out the pads, sliders and knobs in a way to make the most use out of the MPD26:
• You can control the levels of the various mics, the master level and the hi-hat open/close status via the MPD26
Faders.
• 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.
• 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.
