Host-specific issues
Some hosts do not support multiple outputs from plugin instruments. At this time,
we are aware that Sonic Foundry Acid 4.0, MOTU Digital Performer 4 and Digide-
sign ProTools fall into this category.
To get around this limitation, we suggest you use the ReWire application in these
hosts.
Emagic’s Logic Audio has a limitation of 16 outputs from plugin instruments. If the
BFD All plugin is loaded in Logic, it automatically detects that Logic is the host
and uses the 16th output for both Cymbal 2 and Cymbal 3.
To get any of the multiple output version of BFD to work in specific hosts please
refer to the “Installation and Getting Started” section.
Digital Performer also starts its host time numbering system at 1 instead of 0,
which causes BFD’s Grooves to trigger at the wrong beat. You can resolve this by
checking the Host Starts Time At 1 option in the Options panel.
Troubleshooting
• BFD User FAQ
Many common installation and performance issues can be resolved by reading
our BFD User FAQ:

• I’m not hearing any sound!
Chances are that you have not yet loaded a kit. Also, many sequencers (such as
Logic) require you to record-enable a MIDI track, or enable live MIDI input in order
to get MIDI input to it.
