In the Play Options panel, look at the following:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Respond to Groove Notes:&#8221; When checked, this option will cause BFD to play back grooves whenever it receives a note in the C5 octave (C5 to B5).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Respond to song start:&#8221;  When checked, this options will cause BFD &#8220;play along&#8221; when you start the transport of your sequencer.  Un-checking it will prevent BFD from automatically playing a groove when you hit Play in your sequencer.  &#8220;Respond to song stop&#8221; works in a similar way, but causes BFD to stop playing when you stop the transport in your sequencer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sync to Song:&#8221; When checked, this setting sets the host sequencer&#8217;s song clock as the sync source for BFD&#8217;s grooves, so that they play in time and phase with the song clock.  For example, if you trigger a groove on beat 2 of a given measure, the groove will begin with beat 2 so that it stays in time\/sync with the rest of the song (ie, if there is a kick hit on beat one and a snare hit on beat 2, the groove will begin with the snare hit).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35615,36194,36174,36099],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33377],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Why does BFDLite keep playing a beat\/groove\/pattern when I hit play in my sequencer?
