BFD2 Drum Production Software

BFD delivers the power of an 18-piece customisable drumkit directly into your DAW as multi-channel high quality 24 bit audio.

Multiple microphones capture focused direct signals and lush room ambience, while up to 46 velocity layers and varied articulations contribute to BFD's richly detailed realism. The audio is lovingly recorded at California's Eldorado studios, with an assortment of premium quality mics, preamps and converters.

The intuitive software interface, provided in virtually all plugin formats and as a standalone application, allows you to mix between the various mic channels and adjust the dynamics of the performance in real time, as well as tweak, tune and dampen the kits for infinite variety. Mix and match drums, cymbals and hihats to your heart's content, and separately bus out the mic channels

A fully equipped drum studio in the box!
to your mixing environment for processing. BFD's sophisticated Groove engine even delivers convincing, humanized drumming performances on demand, synchronised to your song tempo.

BFD lets you forget the hassle of hiring an arsenal of high quality kits, a high-end recording studio, a drummer, a drum-tech and an engineer, leaving you free to get on with writing and mixing great-sounding drums!

BFD is a software acoustic drum module featuring multiple articulations and mic positions, sampled with superior expressive detail. Integrating directly into your sequencer environment, its flexible and intuitive interface allows you unprecedented freedom to build varied and stunningly realistic drum tracks.

Loading kits and kit-pieces
BFD puts a large, expandable library of expressive, expensively-recorded drums at your fingertips. Load up to 18-piece kits, or quickly compile custom kits from the variety of provided instruments. Mix and match toms, build experimental layered kits and more with just a few mouse clicks, assisted by the descriptive information display and clickable previewing.


Tweaking the kit and the mix


Kit-piece damping controls
Dampen drums by subtle to extreme amounts, while retaining BFD's natural ambience.

2 mixer pages
The mixer area has 2 pages, each showing the controls for 9 kit-piece slots. You can load 2 kicks, 2 snares, 6 toms, 6 cymbals, a hihat and a percussion instrument. These categories are not, however, hard-wired - you can load virtually any combination of kit elements.

Kit-piece mixer area
Tune, velocity-scale and control the ambience levels for each part of the kit.

Direct mixer area
Adjust direct (close) mic levels and pan. Additional kick and snare controls blend between and flip the phase of inside and outside kick drum mics, and top and bottom snare mics.

Ambient bus controls
Mix levels of direct, overhead, room and PZM mic buses. You can even move mics further back to create the impression of larger rooms, and adjust the stereo width.

Keymapping and outputs
Setting up BFD for triggering and remote control couldn't be simpler. Extensive MIDI learn makes it quick and easy to map any electronic drum triggers and keyboards, and any control or fader on BFD's interface can be remote controlled via MIDI. Advanced keymapping tools let you set up multiple keys for individual articulations, with optional layering, adjustable velocity curves and ranges, velocity-sensitive damping and much more.

The comprehensive output routing matrix makes it possible to route individual direct, bleed and ambience channels from each part of the kit to individual plugin outputs. Create custom submixes and isolate individual kit elements for further processing through plugins in your host mixer, or outboard equipment.

Groove Librarian
As well as working as a triggerable sound module, BFD can function as a synchronized automated drummer using the substantial and varied included library or by importing your own MIDI files. The Groove Librarian lets you intuitively build drum parts by triggering patterns with MIDI notes in real time. It can also just keep playing along with your sequencer, cycling or shuffling between patterns with adjustable fill periods. If your host supports it, you can drag and drop Grooves into your sequencer's arrange page, or record the entire output of the Groove engine as a continuous MIDI stream.

Advanced humanization
Adjust the feel of the Groove Librarian's drumming in real time to make it more tight, loose or syncopated. Additional timing and velocity randomization including the 'anti-machinegun' mode, contributes further realism to your drum parts.

Integration and recall
Individual kits, banks of Grooves, keymaps, MIDI remote control layouts, mixer setting, output routings and entire plugin states can be loaded and saved as presets. When BFD is used as a plugin, the entire plugin state is saved and recalled with your host project. BFD works as VST, RTAS, AudioUnit and DXi under Mac and Windows, and can also be used as a ReWire slave or a standalone application

Mr
I have bought from Bavas twice now for EV speakers (foldback, FOH and subs) and microphones. I have found their service to be excellent and their prices are great. We had problems with one of our FOH speakers and Nick had a replacement to our church in record time - it was no hassle at all. I would recommend these guys and I do not even bother to shop around anymore because you wont get a better deal. I would add that Nick is a great salesman in the sense that he knows his products, gets a good feel for what you are after, puts together a good package (without over selling), has it delivered promptly and provides good support. He will also work hard with suppliers to get you the best price he can offer. Keep up the good work guys it's a pleasure doing business with you.

Mr
I needed a Zoom H4n to record from a hydrophone and came across Bava music website. Price was competitive so I rang to check if they had the recorder in stock. Nick was friendly and helpful. The recorder was delivered (to rural NSW) 3 business days later. That's good enough for me!

I just bought the Casio CS-43P unit (piano and stand) - got it home, laid all the pieces of the stand on the floor, looked at the instructions and these were in just about every language except English. Not impressed!

CASIO WK-8000 KEYBOARD
I ordered a Casio WK-8000 Keyboard via the internet as the price was very competitive. The site is very informative and item descriptions are concise. Customer service was excellent and delivery was effected within 48 hours. I am very impressed and would recommend Bavas Music City to my musician friends.

VERY IMPRESSIVE SERVICE
I cannot recommend Bavas Music City enough! I purchased a Zoom Q3 in December 2009. It arrived before I could check the letter box-amazing! Also when enquiring with a warranty issue they didn't muck around-Mick had me on the phone with Zoom 'direct' to sort out the problem. Everyone should run their business like this. Absolutely faultless. Thank you.
