BDX-909 presets
These presets are internal under particular MIDI notes. Read the attached README.txt
Filterbank: MIDI triggering
Filterbank is an audio effect, not an instrument. To use MIDI triggering:
- Load Filterbank on an audio track
- Set TRIG ADSR and/or TRIG AR to MIDI in the bottom panel
- Create a separate MIDI track and route its output to the track with Filterbank
- Select Filterbank as the MIDI destination
- Draw MIDI notes or play from a controller - any note triggers the selected envelope(s)
Note: MIDI note 60 = C4 in Filterbank. Some DAWs (Ableton, Logic, Studio One) label this as C3 - same thing, just a different naming convention.
Filterbank: sidechain triggering
- Load Filterbank on an audio track
- Set TRIG ADSR and/or TRIG AR to SideChain in the bottom panel
- Route an audio signal (e.g. a kick drum) into Filterbank's sidechain input (method varies per DAW - look for "sidechain" or "key input" in routing options)
- The envelope triggers whenever the sidechain signal exceeds the threshold
Tip: Adjust sensitivity with ADSR SENS and AR SENS in the bottom panel - lower values trigger on quieter signals, higher values only on loud transients.
