For you guys out there using BFD who absolutely hate the midi loop/audition
interface (I'm one of those), there is a solution.
First go register at Toontrack, then DL the free EzPlayer.
Next, install the EzPlayer on your computer (it will only show up as a VSTi
in a host sequencer)
Next, in your sequencer create a midi track.
Next instantiate EZPlayer as a VSTi and up at the top, go to the function
where you navigate to your midi loops library and set directory path to your
loops, wherever they may be.
Next instantiate BFD as a VSTi
In your midi track choose EzPlayer as the midi input and BFD as the midi
output.
Now you can go to EzPlayer and click on the loop you want to audition, BFD
will play it and then from EzPlayer you can drag and drop it into your
sequencer midi track. It's incredibly quick and easy to use this way.
It looks like BFD2 is going to following a similar path as Toontracks
EzDrummer from the looks of the interface. I can't wait. I didn't much like
the samples in EzDrummer.too preprocessed for my tastes.
Anyway, for those who work with BFD and midi loops, this is definitely the
ticket, IMO.

It is nice. But, he XLN way in Addictive drums is lot less mouse clicks.
I have to disagree with you my friend on EZ drums libs. I love them. The
BFD drums are too raw. Requires too much work when working on a mix.
You probably noticed all of these third party BFDdrum libraries that are
very much processed and ready to go.

LaMont,
I just installed the Addictive Drums demo. I must say that it sounds very
good and is really easy to use. I've got a lot invested in BFD right now and
I'm going to waitsee what's new with that. the BFD2 upgrade for current
users is $200.00 and it includes an additional 635448765.225 GB of samples
Here's a bit of info on it.

I'll probably hold out to see how this looks before I spend any more money
on drum samplers.

Dude:) 2 years ago I purchased BFD XL along with DHFH Vintage
Custom, along with Battery 2..In the end, I wound up using DKFH VC along
with Battery2 and Stylus RMX and Drummagog on most projects. BFD, while cool,was
too raw. I need results :)Instant results...Plus, I don;t have allthose cool
outboard toys like you have..
