FXpansion BFD Deluxe - Manual (Page 7)

Luxurious levels of detail
Up to 128 velocity layers
BFD Deluxe Collection’s Kit-Pieces are provided with up to 128 velocity layers.
The result is an unprecedented level of realism and expressive detail. Cymbals
have particularly improved levels of detail compared to previous BFD material.
Hyper-detailed hihats and cymbals
As in BFD XFL and 8 Bit Kit, the Deluxe Collection hihats feature extra ¼-open
and ¾-open position Hit types, in addition to the usual closed, ½-open and open
positions found in the original BFD library.
Ride cymbals include bell Hits, while the crash and splash cymbals have edge
Hits. Both these Hits are played with the Bell Hit type in BFD’s cymbal slots. The
Deluxe Collection’s cymbals are captured with more velocity layers than those on
previous BFD recordings.
Increased RAM overhead
The increased levels of detail cause a signifi cantly higher RAM overhead
compared to the content in BFD and even BFD XFL. When using lower amounts
of RAM (512MB to 1GB), you can install BFD Deluxe Collection with Small or
Medium detail settings, or consult the Performance Tips section in the BFD FAQ
for other ways to optimize BFD for lower memory usage:
