BFD Ultra
BFD Ultra gives you 6 stereo and 22 mono outputs: similar to BFD
All, except that all Kit-Piece slots have their own outputs for their
primary direct channels, and 3 extra general-purpose stereo outputs are also provided. It
is inadvisable to use this version of BFD in Logic or Samplitude, or any other host which
cannot handle 34 outputs from a plugin.
BFD Ultra is only necessary if you really need 34 outputs: for the vast majority of
applications, you can simply use BFD All and create ‘submixes’ within BFD for the various
mic channels. However, if you absolutely must have a separate output for each Kit-Piece
slot within BFD, you can use BFD Ultra.
The default confi guration is shown below. This can be freely changed using the Output
Options panel. In fact, the BUS1, 2 and 3 stereo outputs require something to be routed
to them, via the Output Options panel, before you hear anything from them. They are
provided as ‘utility’ outputs, to facilitate extra submixing possibilities such as stereo tom
and cymbal mixes, for example. Please see section 10:3 for more details on the Output
Options panel.
