The FXpansion BFD Acoustic Drum is a high-quality acoustic drum module. It concentrates on impeccably recorded multi-velocity acoustic drumkits, with some crucial differences to using a general-purpose sampler with sample-CDs, or using pre-recorded acoustic drum loops.
The FXpansion BFD 8-Bit Kit is a discontinued add-on pack for the BFD software drum module system, offering lo-fi flavours to your drum productions. This expansion pack exclusively available through Digital Village Pro Audio Stores and www.dv247.com. This old-skool collection of drums, cymbals, hi-hats, percussion and electronics features dozens of unique, vintage, handmade and exotic kit pieces, all captured by a strange and wonderful array of microphones. The 8 Bit Kit expansion also includes original recordings made directly from selected vintage analog drum machines of the 70s and 80s. To further extend BFD’s versatility, these can be layered with acoustic sounds from the original BFD or XFL pack to create rich, hybrid kicks and snares – a popular production trick of today.
Both software titles contain the full disc set but do not include the external cardboard box. It's the environmentally friendly version!
The system requirements for FXpansion software titles are:
