BFD 3.5 Released

[SmokeyJ628]

I know many have been following BFD to see how they're going to update it.  There's also a sale on the new version and the expansions.

The current price is $59.  Is that an 'intro' price (that will go back up to $199 later)?

Does anyone know if the Player version has also been updated to 3.5?  I want to see how the plugin performs on my system before buying.

The reason I ask is that I just downloaded it and the name of the file is "BFD Player - Software 1.2.1.1 & Core Library 1.0.0.10" suggesting that's it's a much older version.

It doesn't show up in the license manager - only 3.4

Unfortunately I had to add that.  Just another turn off of using software these days.

The BFD player is a completely different beast. It was released October 2023 for free. It does not support BFD 3 expansions but has its own eco system (https://www.bfddrums.com/bfd-player-expansions/). So it will not show you how well BFD 3.5 would work on your system.

Well this update is a real PITA. After jumping through several hoops, despite migrating settings it needs content locations to be added manually and everything to be rescanned which took an age.  It seems to be working OK once installed but I have not given it an extensive test.  90% of my drum work is in Toontrack these days and I don't see much to tempt me back to using BFD more.
