Installation
• BFD v1.5.45 or higher is required in order to use BFD Percussion. Please make sure it is
properly installed before you proceed. Obtain the latest version from your FXpansion.com
user account.
• The data on the BFD Percussion DVDs is compressed (using a zero-loss algorithm), to
facilitate the delivery of the highest possible level of detail. You must run the installers in order
to successfully install the sounds. You cannot simply copy the data to your hard drive.
• Mac users: during the installation process, you may be asked for your Admin password. You
must have Admin rights in order to install this software.
•
Each DVD contains an installer specific to the contents
of that DVD. Please follow these steps for each DVD !
1. Insert the DVD and run the BFD Percussion installer.
• Windows:
If the installer does not auto-run, explore the DVD contents in My
Computer and double-click
BFD PER Win Setup.exe to run it.
• Mac:
Open the DVD contents and double-click
BFD PER Mac Setup.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions until the ‘Installation Path’ stage appears.
3. Select your BFD folder: this is the
folder which contains the
Data folder in
which the sample data resides. Make
sure you select the
BFD folder, and
not
BFD/Data or any other folder. If
you do not select the correct folder, the
new sounds will not be available within
BFD. Click
Next when you’re ready to
proceed.
4. You now need to specify the Installation
Size: you can specify the detail level
and which Kit-Pieces to install.
• First, select a detail level. BFD
Percussion can be installed with one
of three detail levels, determining the
maximum amount of velocity layers
(and consequently affecting the hard
disk space usage) that are installed
for each Kit-Piece on the DVD.
Higher detail levels have a higher
impact on system resources.
Small:
a maximum of 16 velocity layers will be installed
Medium:
a maximum of 4 velocity layers will be installed
Large:
all velocity layers will be installed
