SmokeyJ628 Posted Thursday at 03:39 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:39 PM (edited) 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.

locrian Posted Thursday at 04:21 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:21 PM The current price is $59. Is that an 'intro' price (that will go back up to $199 later)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locrian Posted Thursday at 04:35 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:35 PM 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.

kitekrazy1 Posted Thursday at 04:58 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:58 PM (edited) It doesn't show up in the license manager - only 3.4 Edited Thursday at 04:58 PM by kitekrazy1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted Thursday at 08:34 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:34 PM 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pragi Posted Friday at 11:48 AM Share Posted Friday at 11:48 AM The fact that the BFD 3.5 update is free for all BFD3 owners makes me delighted; it's a great offer. I think my drum arsenal is excellent now that the latest AD Drums 2update is also available for free. I have avoided Toontrack since the upgrade fiasco.

FWIW, the process was smooth, quick, and quite painless here. In the InMusic app, I simply activated each of the kit licenses I own, then installed BFD3 - the information says it is huge but it actually downloaded super fast. Once downloaded & installed, I opened the program, went to preferences, added my content location, it scanned, and was immediately available to play. However, this seemed a bit odd and something I hadn't seen before: Edited Friday at 02:33 PM by Fwrend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluzdog Posted Friday at 06:15 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:15 PM (edited) I didn't find a way to change content locations in the Inmusic installer. It overwhelmed my C drive and I had to give up on installing the core library. edit: the settings menu is under account at the top right corner. The downloads folder is selectable there.

Skijumptoes Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Decided to jump on this with the offer on, and got to say i'm really impressed with the sound and flexibility with it. Anyone on the fence should really consider it. Not tried it with my electronic drum kit yet, but hoping it's going to integrate ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAGinz Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I still have the last FXpansion BFD 3 loaded on one of my computers . I believe it’s 3.3. Doesn’t work quite as seamlessly as Toontrack stuff, but there’s some great organic drum sounds in it. Edited 3 hours ago by LAGinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
