Fxpansion BFD 3 Acoustic Drum Plugin

General

FXpansion BFD3 is a high-grade virtual drum plugin that offers ultra-realistic acoustic drum sounds. The software package includes a wide range of drum kits - including rock, metal, jazz and brushes - which means you can use it for virtually any music style. All of the BFD3's kits feature high-grade multi-microphone recordings, and can be mixed to perfection using the software's built-in mixer. FXpansion's physical modelling technology even takes shell resonance into account. Thanks to a built-in groove engine and optimal integration with electronic kits, you can count on super-realistic results.

BFD 3: settings

This third edition of BFD comes with a redesigned, well-organised graphic interface, which allows you to effortlessly create your own drum kits, to complement the plugin's numerous presets. Adjusting balance, room and bleed levels, and applying effects is easy as pie thanks to an internal mixer.

Groove Engine

FXpansion BFD3 is perfect for drummers who work with an electronic drum kit. Connect it to your computer, and BFD3 delivers the most authentic drum sounds. Non-drummers will also hugely benefit from this plugin, though. Its built-in groove engine provides you with a wide range of pattern-based drum parts, which can be modified at will by means of an editor. With a few simple knobs, you can easily adjust the feel and groove. Use FXpansion BFD3 in stand-alone mode, or as a plugin for your DAW (supported formats: VST2.4, AU, RTAS and AAX64).
