Using BFD in Sonic Foundry Acid 4.0
As long as the installation went smoothly, you should now have three new plugins
available in your Vstplugins folder: BFD Stereo, BFD Groups, and BFD All. As
long as you have pointed Acid to your Vstplugins folder, it should detect the BFD
files. To use BFD, please do the following after launching Acid:
• Load BFD using the Soft Synth entry on the Insert menu.
• Choose BFD Stereo. At this time, Acid does not support multiple outputs on
VST instruments. If you need to use multiple output versions of BFD, please
see the section below entitled “Using BFD with ReWire”.
• Create a MIDI track using the MIDI Track entry on the Insert menu.
• Assign this MIDI track to BFD by using the Device Selection button- BFD
should be on the list as Soft Synth N (BFD Stereo), where N is the number of
the Soft Synth.
• If you intend to play BFD from a MIDI input device such as a keyboard, click the
Enable Real-Time MIDI button at the top of the BFD plugin window in its Soft
Synth Properties dialog.
Using BFD in Cakewalk Project 5

wrap the VST versions into DXi format.
To use BFD in Project 5, simply click the Insert Track button and select one of the
BFD plugins which should be visible on the menu.

Adapter in order to wrap the VST versions into DXi format. To use BFD, please do
the following after launching Sonar:
