BFD's
high quality drum sample library has an unparalleled degree of realism. For each
type of drum type in each kit, there are a number of different styles of 'hits'.
Each of these 'hits' is sampled at up to 46 velocity layers, resulting in drum
parts of superior detail and expressiveness.

BFD was recorded in the
drum room at a top Californian recording studio by professional engineer Steve
Duda (NIN, Pitchshifter, A Perfect Circle) using over $50,000 worth of
microphones from Neumann, Sennheiser, AKG and others. The drums used range from
the 1920s to 2002, and include both classics and rarities.

Not only
useful as a sound source for your own drum programming, BFD also incorporates a
comprehensive library of ready-to-use MIDI Grooves with different styles, feels
and time signatures. The library features both programmed grooves and MIDI
recordings of real drummers, including top UK session drummer Chris Dagley
(Jamiroquai, Lalo Schifrin, Ella Fitzgerald, Eric Clapton, Chaka Khan).


The advanced, integrated Groove Librarian allows you to drag and drop
the included grooves or import your own MIDI grooves. You can then trigger them
in realtime from a keyboard  or let the BFD freestyle with the auto-shuffle and
auto-fill features.

BFD's humanization functions inject that elusive
'soul' into your drum parts. The integrated swing controls make it easy to
tighten or relax the vibe as much as required. On top of this, the sound of the
Groove can be further humanized through the controlled randomization of velocity
and timing.

BFD is perfectly suited to rock, jazz, funk, country,
hip-hop, blues, drum & bass. In fact, anything that may require a real
drumkit, from auto-accompaniment, traditional song-writing and recording, to
newer techniques such as creating original drum breaks.
