The NEW version of the free BFD Player 1.2, video review: ruclips.net/video/CIueQ7snm8U/видео.html -- includes review of the new Vintage Rock expansion:
First time I've seen a preset tailor-made for dream pop lol (nvm it should be Dry Pop, just noticed that on the preset list). Seems like an interesting plugin, especially the option to choose the level of detail in the sound engine, which might help mitigate performance issues when I produce on my shabby laptop
Thanks for watching. whats funny is the preset is actually called "Dry Pop"...but there is a preset right above or below it with the word "dream" in it, and i didnt realize till after uploading that i misnamed it. haha. but yes, it should run fine on most laptops....really if latency is not a concern, most plugins should be fine if you just raise your buffer size.
Excellent man!!! I could not map to my custom edrum kit though. Not standard mapping. Bummer. They dropped the ball there! Checking out the Hertz now thanks! Your voice sounds familiar. The gear review guy!
Thanks much for your kind words. Oh man, I completely missed that they didnt include a "MIDI learn!!" I guess when I found the td30 mapping worked perfectly, I didnt even notice it was missing. What is your module? If its like my Roland TD17, you can pick a module kit preset -- like some kit you dont use much -- go to that kit on your module, then go to your MIDI settings and just change the MIDI for each of your kit pieces so they match the BFD Player map preset thats closest to you. On the TD17, each module kit preset has MIDI mapping that can be changed independently of the other kits. Does that make sense? I hope it does. You could also use a DAW, like Reaper (free to try for a long time) and use a MIDI plugin to simply convert one midi note to another.
@@eDrumsandVSTsyou're very welcome! I've been using Reaper for a few years. I use an old Alesis dm8 and edrumin modules. I have a custom acoustic to electronic conversion so I don't want to go changing all the notes in the modules LOL. If you let me know about this VST or plugin you mentioned the changes to notes for you that may be a way to do it. I'm not sure how to do that but I figured there was something that could. Thanks for your help!
@@maidenmopar A reaper stock plugin called 'JS Midi Map to Key v2' might fit the bill if you want to use it though reaper. Heres a good vid on it from the Reaper Mania channel. ruclips.net/video/ceTWomSAMeE/видео.html I have wanted an edrumin too...theyve been sold out so long until recently. I want to pick one up soon. And I just saw your channel...your kit is amazing!! and good choice with some Saigon Kick!
@@eDrumsandVSTs Thanks so much for the reply! I was thinking about this all day lol. I appreciate it so much! I will check for the plugin. Maybe you can do Ugritone Drums sometime for review. Old school sounds.
@@eDrumsandVSTs that JS plugin is broken on my Reaper 6.8 unreal. I was excited to try for the hats solution at the least. Bummed. Shared with Reaper group. Idk what version you're using.
LOL thank you, this comment made my day. Do I know you?? This sounds like something someone who knows me might say to be silly. lol but I got a kick out of it, thank you.
Im struggling with BFD3. I’m connecting my Alesis directly using usb cable to my pc but sadly dealing with a delay that makes it unplayable. Any way to fix this ? An audio interface might work? Also have downloaded the ASIO driver.
An audio interface that comes with ASIO drivers will always be the top choice, but you may not need it. When you say you downloaded asio drivers, do you mean ASIO4all? are you using it standalone or in a DAW? Make sure to go to your DAW's audio settings and make sure your audio device for output (and input if you like) is set properly to that ASIO driver/device. If you leave it default, it might be the standard windows sound device which will be laggy. If you use BFD Player in standalone mode, click the little gear icon on bottom right of the window and make sure the audio device is set to the ASIO driver. Lastly, if you use ASIO4all, open the ASIO4all settings and make sure it is sending the output to your speakers and that the buffer size is as low as you can go until you start to hear pops and crackles when you lay. Usually a buffer size of 64-128 will be fine and little to no noticeable latency. For more info, check my A-Z guide on using your edrums with plugins and stuff: ruclips.net/video/ivfKKT8XAbg/видео.html
@@eDrumsandVSTs thanks for replying. I’m using a DAW however once check the MIDI input options shows ASIO4all and ASIO Realtek. Using ASIO4all gets all glitchy and the output is fixed to the pc Speakers. ASIO Realtek works better but won’t allow me to play along.
@@alexisrivera2649 You can investigate if your Alesis module can function as an audio interface like roland modules can. If it can't, you might have to go head and get an audio interface, which to me, the focusrite scarlet solo would be a great choice.
Scotty, good question. This video, i think from Alesis, might help you...basically its signing up at the BFD site, adding your module to your account, downloading the BFD player, hooking up your module to your PC via USB cable. Here is the video ruclips.net/video/7gbZv1bJITc/видео.html
@@scottyg5403 No problem, it should be relatively that easy, although I know it will take some time to do those steps. I havent had an alesis module in a few years, but they have really upped their game lately, it looks!
@@eDrumsandVSTs I have seen other videos where drummers have used the Alesis modules I wasn't sure of the process. And I'll definitely give it a try for this one because it's free thanks again
Of course ezdrummer is great! My feeling is that the more options out there, at different price points, the better. And no offense taken, I didnt make this app, just demonstrating it!
Thanks for watching! BFD Player does not have MIDI learn (that I saw, anyway) but you can do the remapping in your DAW if you like. There are several options for this, depending on your DAW, but one option is using the free VST plugin I mention in my video "How to make your edrum hihat work in any drum plugin" -- its called remapper, i think. It allows you to remap any midi note to any other note you like. Im not sure of the title of the plugin, but you can see in the video if you like.
Hi -- Well im not 100% sure on how to use this on the iPad -- do you mean just to open it and play with the built i grooves or program your own drums in the app? Or are you trying to hook up electronic drums to your ipad?
@@pigsfromagun4050 well i cant find any mention of it working with the ipad, though it is offered on Macs in general. What happens when you try to open the mac version? I would email their support and ask if its compatible with ipad
Hey, thanks so much for this demo! I recently downloaded this free plug-in and then purchased the add-on for the 70s kits. Are the kits I just purchased playable within version 3? I’m asking because, so far I’m digging it. And there’s an offer for a BFD3. Being that you have it, do you think it’s worth getting? It seems that this free plug-in maybe even slightly more advanced in small ways. I also read a post that there’s a version 4 possibly on the way. Since we are in the season of GAS, I’m trying to maximize my dollar across-the-board. 😢
LOL yes GAS for certain. Like another guy said on a video, it's like collecting pokemon cards or collecting something else. It becomes its own hobby in itself. As for your question: the installer file structure for the BFD Player and the installer structure for BFD3 stuff looks extremely similar, but I cannot find a definitive "yes" or "no" on inter-changeability etc. I'm assuming a NO on being able to interchange player/BFD3 expansions. But I do not know 100%. Would I recommend BFD3? 100% yes, with caveats. BFD3 and SD3 are the cream of the crop as far as realism go, particularly certain libraries (that applies to both sd3 and bfd3), although both sd3 and bfd3 have good core libraries. Some people don't like BFD3's parent company's method for authentication. The software will re-authorize once every 90s or so, and there have been some who have issues with authorization servers. It drove some people away from BFD3, but many people dont have issues and are totally fine. It's odd. Anyway, sorry for the full-novel-length response! I could talk this stuff all day.
@@eDrumsandVSTs All good. I think you may have matched my novel. 😂Seriously, GAS is no joke! You really helped. 🙏 I did notice the install was a little strange for me. Some companies have nailed this others take a backseat to it. For me… The overall experience of getting and using the product matters greatly. But no question, this is a good product once it’s up and running. Now, it’s decisions, decisions, decisions. Thanks again bro. You rule!
@@Tyrell_Corp2019 Im glad I could help, and your watching and kind words mean a bunch to me, so thank you as well. Yes, BFD's setup and authorization process can be different and, for some, can cause headaches. I like to think that SD3 and BFD3 are the top of the game for realism, but BFD3 is like a car that needs some restoration but ends up being an awesome car; and SD3 costs more and is already brand new. Again, it's all about which expansions you get, but thats my analogy. By the way, I listened to a couple of your songs -- you have some great character in your vocals and lyrics, and your voice in particular is bob dylan like. Maybe some new drum stuff, like you're considering, will take it to another level.
Hi, I have a Yamaha dtxeplorer, which is not present in the list of mapped batteries. How do I map it? Unfortunately the mapping of the Yamaha dtxetremer is not compatible with the dtxeplorer.
Hi there, thanks for watching. What I would do, at least until BFD Player is updated to allow MIDI Learn options... I would pick a preset that is as close as possible. Then use a plugin such as NoteMapper from a developer named CodeFN42, which is free. Use that to remap your module's MIDI notes to the MIDI notes that BFD is expecting for each sound. FOr instance, if your module outputs MIDI note D2 for the kick drum and BFD Player is expecting C1 for the kick drum, use NoteMapper to convert your D2 to C1. See my video on my channel titled "Make your eDrum HiHat Work with Any Drum Plugin" for an example of how to use that free plugin. Other options include using a MIDI converter plugin from your DAW, such as Reaper or Ableton or Cubase.
hi, great chasnnel, im waiting for channel like this... so i dowload bfd , and sound fantastic, i use it on td17 module , but close tip hi hat sound dont work, i close down hi hat pedal and hit vh10 but it sound like semi open or soft closed ... how have you set hi hat on bfd mapping? there isnt any continuos controller map/setting in this vst for hi hat modulation
Thanks for your kind words. I picked the TD30 MIDI preset I think. did you do the same? I use a TD17 as well, but I use a cy5 hihat pad with a fd8 pedal (i think its fd8).
@@emanuelpelide7667 that is odd indeed. try these things: 1. Make sure you are connecting the td17 to the PC correctly. This includes downloading Roland drivers for the td17 (just in case this is an issue). 2. Make sure your MIDI setting in your TD17 is set to VENDOR. Details on that are below. 3. Choose as many of the other Roland presets as you feel like trying and seeing if they work. Here's how to set the TD-17's USB Mode to "VENDOR." Press the SETUP button. Cursor down to highlight "USB," and then press ENTER. Cursor to highlight "GENERIC" for the USB Driver Mode. Turn the main dial clockwise to choose "VENDOR." - A USB Driver message prompts in the TD-17's display stating that the new change will not become effective until the TD-17 is powered off and on again. Press ENTER to select "OK" for this message. Press the power switch on the TD-17 to turn off the power, and then power back on again.
@@eDrumsandVSTs yes I already know this step, I do all step that you mentioned. I saw that in your video you talk about setting hi hat in all vst. Do you think that work in bfd and reaper?
@@emanuelpelide7667 The issue is that BFD is not showing the MIDI notes for each stage of hihat openness. I'm just wondering why we both have the same module but your hihat isnt working properly. Makes me wonder if you have a setting in your module that is set differently somehow, I dont know. The plugin in my video about hihat plugin, it might work, I don't know -- you would have to experiment and play with it and see. Have you contacted the support for BFD Player? The company is InMusic isnt it?
Unfortunately not yet -- shoot them an email and let them know they need to add it! For now, you can either change the midi note output of your midi keyboard or your e-drum module, OR you can use a free VST plugin like NoteMapper to convert the midi notes, which I cover in a video I did called "How to Make Your eDrum Hihat Work With Any Plugin"
Great question...I assume you mean Modo drum 1.5? I have yet to play or try even the free version, but I need to at least try that free version for sure. I have read that Modo is primarily a synthesis base, although the hihats might be sample based...with that being said, I'll say this: I have seen Modo drum 1.5 quite a bit on the used plugin sites -- to me, it looks like people are buying it and then selling it more often. I can't say personally, but I am not sure if the general public is thinking too highly of it. But I have not tried it yet -- thats just the feeling I get. Do you have Modo 1.5? Do you like it? It might be awesome, I dont know!
@@eDrumsandVSTs Oh wow I didn't even know you could re sell it. I use it although the keyboard isn't a drum set which is why I'd like to try out an electronic drum kit so it could get the job done but with more realism not sure which one to try out. In modo the only advantage you may have is you can add more or less drums especially Toms. The cymbals I feel are more realistic not completely sure to what extent but yes they do have variety and flexibility of swapping drums. As for sound they're not true samples so I cannot say they're better or worse than one drum kit. I certainly do enjoy Modo Bass 2 though and I love the way the basses feel from my real bass. More variety.
@@Metalpazallteway Thanks for your feedback on Modo drum...I honestly dont know much about modo drum, it may be awesome. I do want to try it sometime soon. knobcloud is one site you can buy/sell plugins. As for modo drum, I am very intrigued by the idea of "endless round-robins" with little to no machine-gunning!
@@eDrumsandVSTs Yes most certainly and thank you. Well let's just say you have something to work with on any genre per say with the IK plugin. Are they the best drums for every separate genre? Debatable I feel they need more velocity levels. I do enjoy the dry sounds of certain plugins because they offer more flexibility and sound shaping but this BFD plugin has phenomenal cymbals and the snare feels very warm. So it holds to a certain extent the degrees of realism.
I think its a great question, and i dont know for sure. Someone on an alesisdrummer forum said this: "Plays like a dream on Linux. Yep, you read that right. This under Wine with Pipewire runs with extra-low latency! And the sounds are serviceable for jams and the such!"
Hi, I thought I replied to this, sorry for the lateness of my reply. I just googled BFD Player and follow the links. Is there a specific question you had?
@@eDrumsandVSTs yesterday I was trying to unload...the core library and the mahogany and it took me 30 gb. Crazy!! Maybe something wrong. I deleted completely and now I can't delete it from my apps . Anyway. I have a Mac computer. Maybe some problems there.i am not sure. So disappointing?? Question..is there a way to record bfd on garageband?
@@pablohu6935 I was wrong about the mahogany -- its 12 GB. But that 12 gb plus the five gigs from the free lib, should only be about 17. But maybe you kept the installation files perhaps? Im not sure if garageband can run BFD Player...i dont think it can run many typical VST plugins. Reaper is a free DAW you can try

I'm using it since since some time already. I like the realistic sound.
Great free drums!
It's great. I've used it quite a bit already.
Ive been a BFD fan for a long time, it's great to see them inserting themselves back into the game.
Damn, they sound really really good!
Yes! 5 GB for one kit. It better be good, ha!
Great video and great playing! Thank you!
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
First time I've seen a preset tailor-made for dream pop lol (nvm it should be Dry Pop, just noticed that on the preset list). Seems like an interesting plugin, especially the option to choose the level of detail in the sound engine, which might help mitigate performance issues when I produce on my shabby laptop

@@eDrumsandVSTs yes I already know this step, I do all step that you mentioned. I saw that in your video you talk about setting hi hat in all vst. Do you think that work in bfd and reaper?
@@emanuelpelide7667 The issue is that BFD is not showing the MIDI notes for each stage of hihat openness. I'm just wondering why we both have the same module but your hihat isnt working properly. Makes me wonder if you have a setting in your module that is set differently somehow, I dont know.
The plugin in my video about hihat plugin, it might work, I don't know -- you would have to experiment and play with it and see. Have you contacted the support for BFD Player? The company is InMusic isnt it?
what module are you using?
Roland TD-17
''THAT HI-HAT SUCKS ! BIGTIME !''
Hi-HATE does suck big time! Low-hate is much better :)
does it have midi map/learn function ?
Unfortunately not yet -- shoot them an email and let them know they need to add it! For now, you can either change the midi note output of your midi keyboard or your e-drum module, OR you can use a free VST plugin like NoteMapper to convert the midi notes, which I cover in a video I did called "How to Make Your eDrum Hihat Work With Any Plugin"
How would you put this product side by side to the IK multimedia
Modo 2?
Great question...I assume you mean Modo drum 1.5? I have yet to play or try even the free version, but I need to at least try that free version for sure. I have read that Modo is primarily a synthesis base, although the hihats might be sample based...with that being said, I'll say this: I have seen Modo drum 1.5 quite a bit on the used plugin sites -- to me, it looks like people are buying it and then selling it more often.
I can't say personally, but I am not sure if the general public is thinking too highly of it. But I have not tried it yet -- thats just the feeling I get.
Do you have Modo 1.5? Do you like it? It might be awesome, I dont know!
@@eDrumsandVSTs Oh wow I didn't even know you could re sell it. I use it although the keyboard isn't a drum set which is why I'd like to try out an electronic drum kit so it could get the job done but with more realism not sure which one to try out. In modo the only advantage you may have is you can add more or less drums especially Toms. The cymbals I feel are more realistic not completely sure to what extent but yes they do have variety and flexibility of swapping drums. As for sound they're not true samples so I cannot say they're better or worse than one drum kit. I certainly do enjoy Modo Bass 2 though and I love the way the basses feel from my real bass. More variety.
@@Metalpazallteway Thanks for your feedback on Modo drum...I honestly dont know much about modo drum, it may be awesome. I do want to try it sometime soon. knobcloud is one site you can buy/sell plugins. As for modo drum, I am very intrigued by the idea of "endless round-robins" with little to no machine-gunning!
@@eDrumsandVSTs Yes most certainly and thank you. Well let's just say you have something to work with on any genre per say with the IK plugin. Are they the best drums for every separate genre? Debatable I feel they need more velocity levels. I do enjoy the dry sounds of certain plugins because they offer more flexibility and sound shaping but this BFD plugin has phenomenal cymbals and the snare feels very warm. So it holds to a certain extent the degrees of realism.
@@Metalpazallteway Interesting, well you've certainly made me more intrigued and I want to try them even more now.
Presume this doesn't work on linux right?
I think its a great question, and i dont know for sure. Someone on an alesisdrummer forum said this: "Plays like a dream on Linux. Yep, you read that right. This under Wine with Pipewire runs with extra-low latency! And the sounds are serviceable for jams and the such!"
Is it standalone too?
Yes, it comes with a standalone version.
how do you download bfd player the right way????
Hi, I thought I replied to this, sorry for the lateness of my reply. I just googled BFD Player and follow the links. Is there a specific question you had?
a lot space like 30gb
The free library from BFD Player is about 5 GB. Each expansion is about 3-5 GB
@@eDrumsandVSTs yesterday I was trying to unload...the core library and the mahogany and it took me 30 gb.
Crazy!! Maybe something wrong. I deleted completely and now I can't delete it from my apps .
Anyway. I have a Mac computer. Maybe some problems there.i am not sure. So disappointing??
Question..is there a way to record bfd on garageband?
@@pablohu6935 I was wrong about the mahogany -- its 12 GB. But that 12 gb plus the five gigs from the free lib, should only be about 17. But maybe you kept the installation files perhaps? Im not sure if garageband can run BFD Player...i dont think it can run many typical VST plugins. Reaper is a free DAW you can try
Windows 10 :(
windiows 10 and above, or the mac version. what OS do you use?
