£219.99
£183.99
Drum library instrument containing 9GB of pristine acoustic drum
samples recorded at a top LA studio - with every drum recorded at
up to 11 different mic positions and at up to 46 velocities.
BFD gives you your own drum studio,with complete control of 7 real
drum kits plus additional hats, snares and cymbals. Every drum is
recorded from eleven different mics positioned around the kit and
room so you can mix your drums by blending the mic sources just
like in a real studio.
BFD's high quality drum sample library has an unparalleled degree
of realism. For each type of drum type in each kit, there are a
number of different styles of 'hits'. Each of these 'hits' is
sampled at up to 46 velocity layers, resulting in drum parts of
superior detail and expressiveness.
BFD was recorded in the drum room at a top Californian recording
studio by professional engineer Steve Duda (NIN, Pitchshifter, A
Perfect Circle) using over $50,000 worth of microphones from
Neumann, Sennheiser, AKG and others. The drums used range from the
1920s to 2002, and include both classics and rarities.
Not only useful as a sound source for your own drum programming,
BFD also incorporates a comprehensive library of ready-to-use MIDI
Grooves with different styles, feels and time signatures. The
library features both programmed grooves and MIDI recordings of
real drummers, including top UK session drummer Chris Dagley
(Jamiroquai, Lalo Schifrin, Ella Fitzgerald, Eric Clapton, Chaka
Khan).
The advanced, integrated Groove Librarian allows you to drag and
drop the included grooves or import your own MIDI grooves. You can
then trigger them in realtime from a keyboard or let the BFD
freestyle with the auto-shuffle and auto-fill features.
BFD's humanization functions inject that elusive 'soul' into your
drum parts. 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
randomization of velocity and timing.
BFD is perfectly suited to rock, jazz, funk, country, hip-hop,
blues, drum & bass. In fact, anything that may require a real
drumkit, from auto-accompaniment, traditional song-writing and
recording, to newer techniques such as creating original drum
breaks.
