USING THE CONTROLPAD WITH BFD LITE

The ControlPad comes bundled with the BFD Lite software drum
module, which includes high-quality drum samples. You can trigger these
drum samples directly from the ControlPad with the authentic feel and
control of playing a real drum kit.
Once you have installed the BFD Lite software,
you can begin playing immediately. Following
are some basic tips and suggestions on how to
begin using the software.
Instructions:
1. Install the BFD Lite software included with the ControlPad
2. Plug the ControlPad into your computer's USB port with the
included USB cable.
3. If you are running Windows, go to Start | All Programs |
FXpansion | BFD Lite | BFD Lite Standalone.
If you are running Mac OS, go to Applications | BFD Lite to
launch the application.
This will launch BFD Lite in standalone mode. However, you may
also use BFD Lite as a plug-in in your favorite sequencing
environment.
4. The ControlPad is a Plug and Play device, which means that it will
automatically work with BFD Lite once the application has been
launched.
Try striking the pads. If there is no sound, you will need to make
sure that the BFD Lite software is set to use your preferred audio
device (i.e. internal soundcard, external audio interface, etc.) as the
sound output. If you are unable to hear a sound when you strike the
pads, please make sure that the audio output is set to your preferred
device.
