You can achieve a very broad range of ‘responses’ for the Kit using these controls. It
can lead to a very broad range of sounds, so it can be considered as a way of tweaking
the Kit. Please note that the settings are quite powerful, and with extreme settings you
can achieve results which may sound unrealistic. Subtle use is advised if you want
realistic results! Extreme settings are, however, facilitated as an aid to creativity and
experimentation.

Engine Options
Preview RAM audio only
This option makes BFD play only the initial part of the sounds which are held in RAM
before the disk streaming process begins. In this mode no data is accessed from the hard
disk. It can be useful as a preview mode while composing to save resources, and turned
off during mixdown. The actual amount of each sound stored in RAM is determined by
the RAM cache size option.
