Installation

BFD comes on two DVD’s which are installed separately. The first DVD contains

the stand alone program, plugins, and several drum kits. The second DVD con-

tains only drum kits.

Windows installation

Insert the first DVD labelled “BFD Install DVD 1” and run the “BFD Windows Setup

1” program. The default options will allow you to access multiple outputs from BFD

in most hosts.

Note: if you are using Digidesign ProTools or Sonic Foundry Acid and want multi-

ple outputs from BFD you will need to install the ‘BFD ReWire’. See ‘ReWire instal-

lation’ below for help setting your ReWire options.

Follow the prompts to choose your main BFD data directory, VST plugin directory

and directories for the other plugin formats.

Note: the BFD data directory needs to be on a fast disk with lots of space.

To install the remaining kits insert the second DVD labelled “BFD Install DVD 2”

and follow the prompts.

MacOS installation

1” program. The default options will allow you to access multiple outputs from BFD
