FXpansion BFD2 gives you the highest sound quality virtual drums for
your digital audio workstation and it includes an entirely NEW 55GB drum library.
BFD2 is the most
powerful acoustic drum production workstation ever. BFD2's easy-to-use interface is redesigned from the ground up to give you more
power and control for shaping your drums than ever before. It is fast and easy
to set up and integrate into your digital audio workstation of
choice.
Create expressive and complex drum
parts using 55GB of rare, vintage, and classic drumkits. Recorded at
AIR Studios in London, BFD2's sound library combines extreme realism with
stunning sound quality. Mix your drums with flexible routing, submixing and built-in EQ, compressors and
other effects.
BFD2's new Groove engine offers advanced editing, performance and
humanization functions for creating realistic drum parts. You can even lay out a
full song's drum track entirely within BFD2! BFD2 is compatible with the entire BFD library, so if you've already bought
FXpansion or third-party expansion packs you'll be able to use them in BFD2 and
take advantage of all the new sound shaping features to get even more out of
your investment.
BFD2's flexible, comprehensive mixing console lets you blend, route, submix
and process the mic channels just like a real-world drum recording. Tweak bleed
levels, play with ambient mic width, create aux sends and patch sidechain
effects to shape your drums into infinite variations that sound convincing and
powerful. The built-in processors include circuit-modelled dynamics, filters and
distortion to deliver fat and floor-shaking sounds, while the flanger,
bitcrusher, ring mod, delay and other effects allow subtle to extreme timbral
variety.
BFD2's Groove engine provides the perfect environment for editing patterns,
setting up performance modes and applying humanization effects for added
realism. Although you can create and record your own Grooves, over 5000
stylistically diverse patterns are ready for you to slot straight into your
productions or edit and combine with elements of each other to make new,
customized parts. You can even lay out a sequence of Grooves to form a full drum
track entirely within BFD2.
Further improvements in BFD2 include the new, intuitive keymapping editor,
easier electronic drum setup, comprehensive management of kits and presets, a
revamped internal engine, totally re-designed interface, and several ways of
exporting multichannel audio directly from BFD2. For example, being able to
quickly and effortlessly export individual Grooves as audio makes BFD2 the
ultimate custom breakbeat factory.
