Using BFD in Digidesign Pro Tools
As long as the installation went smoothly, you should now have a new RTAS plu-
gin available to you: BFD Stereo. At this time,
Pro Tools does not support multiple
outputs from instrument plugins. The term 'multi-channel plugins' in Pro Tools
refers to stereo-output plugins. If you need to use multiple output versions of BFD,
please see the section below entitled "Using BFD with ReWire".
To use BFD, please do the following after launching Pro Tools:
1. Add a new Audio Track or Aux channel using the File/New Track menu item.
2. Create a new MIDI track.
3. On the mixer view, click an insert button on the Audio channel you just
inserted, and select BFD from the 'multi-channel plug-in' menu.
4. The MIDI track you created will also appear on the mixer: select BFD as the
output port for this track.
Using BFD in Image-Line FL Studio
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. To
use BFD, please do the following after launching FL Studio:
1. Add BFD to the project by adding it as a channel. Select the ‘Channels’
menu then choose 'Add one…'
2. BFD will not be in the list displayed by default. To make it part of the list
select ‘More…’ to popup a list of all available plugins. From the bottom-right
of this window click ‘Refresh’ then ‘Fast Scan (recommended)’.
3. Now enable the checkboxes next to the three BFD plugin names which are
red to show they are newly found plugins.
4. Now you can add BFD to the Step Sequencer by selecting ‘Channels’ then
‘Add one…’ then select the version of BFD you want.
5. Assign BFD to an FX track, using the Channel Settings window.
