It serves multiple purposes you soon learn. You also learn VERY quick why the "kit" view is like it is instead of the generic UI of a "real" kit. There are a LOT of new features and its amazingly easy to navigate.
I have given it quite a few hours of time, (after the night and part of a day lost to dealing with install and getting all my samples recognized) The interface is surprisingly intuitive and easy to navigate.
I went into it very open minded and not knowing what to expect. Honestly, spend some time on it before judging it. And if I'm going to do that I might as well go with something that doesn't give me a headache like the BFD 3 gui. Other companies release fully functioning demos of product - why not fxpansion? They changed so much in BFD 3 you're really learning a new drum vi. That and the fact as you say the limited demo setup. Like a lot of people I was anxiously waiting BFD 3 but am severely disappointed with it. Thanks and waiting the video - your are always good work. Of course if you like BFD3, you should just purchase that instead of using this workaround.Īs far as my interest in BFD1.5 that's only because I have found it stupidly cheap, and I might as well consider it since it has 9GB of samples. I'm still trying out the demo, once I purchase it, I probably do a video demo of it. I don't wanna embed a pic here because this thread is about BFD3, so just I'll just put it on Box. You simply right click to create a new audio output and just drag the "wires" to it, sorta like Reason, but different.īFD2 looks to have 8 stereo outs and 16 mono outs in DDMF, you will see 32 little white nodes. To be clear, I have not tested them yet, but they are there. interesting thought though if it could multi out into a host and it multi out into its host. Then I just render it real quick like I explained over at the FXP forum and just drag and drop the tracks in PT. I use the mixer generically to do what's needed. You are correct, MB-7 2 does not support multiple out.
But like guitardom says don't waste money on that old thing - it's okay but not something I would use on an everyday basis.
It was when I moved over to PT that I upgraded THAT to BFD 2. I had BFD1 originally on my Sonar 8.3.1 system and upgraded that to BFD 1.5 via download. And the way I understand it, although I haven't tried it, MB7-2 doesn't support multiple audio outs from a hosted vst plugin. I saw you mention this over in the fxpansion forum and should have asked: looking at the product page for Metaplugin it looks like it supports multiple audio outputs - is that correct? Seems like it's 8 stereo outs which would be great as I don't use BFD2's internal mixer as much as I can help it.
