Easy compilation of new kits
Ever tried to edit and combine elements of large disk-streamed sample libraries?
You’ll know that it isn’t exactly the most productive use of creative time in the stu-
dio. To save you this tedious, time-consuming process, BFD allows you to easily
mix and match the kicks, snares, toms, hats and cymbals of the various supplied
kits to create custom kits. All this within seconds, and with just a few mouse-
clicks! You can preview any potential kit changes in real-time and in context,
leaving you free to concentrate on the sound rather than losing your creative flow
through excessive file and sample management operations.

Custom kit creations can be easily saved into a small preset file, so it’s easy to
create a library of drumkits tailored to your requirements, and the small size of
these files makes it simple to share your kits with other users online.

Flexible play modes: introducing the Groove Librarian
In addition to functioning as a single-hit module which can be triggered via the
host sequencer’s MIDI engine, BFD also incorporates an extensive library of
‘Grooves’, in a number of different styles, feels and time signatures. There is also
a comprehensive fill library. What makes BFD so powerful is that these ‘Grooves’
are implemented using standard MIDI files, so it is incredibly easy to create and
import your own, or use commercial MIDI-file libraries, such as the Kenton and
Twiddly Bits products. BFD conforms to the General MIDI (GM) standard, making
it very easy to import standard MIDI drum parts as Grooves.

Endless variety of sound and feel
BFD’s intelligent humanization techniques inject that elusive ‘soul’ into your
drum parts. The provided MIDI Grooves are dripping with a variety of feels, and
the integrated swing controls make it easy to tighten or relax the vibe as much
as required. On top of this, the sound of the Groove can be further humanized
through the controlled variation of velocity and timing.
