Great another video with lots of sounds but no info on how to set this up. Tertiary comments of plug in midi cable aren't enough. Getting trigers is easy yeah but what happens with the audio out of computer? Where's that going? Do you have anything that covers an actual setup?

[@SimpleAndyRock]

I lvee the sound and feel of BFD with my Roland. I'd love to see BFD sounds embedded into a future Alesis drum module.

[@DarkSoulx7]

I hope this comes out sooner than later. Sounds nice. I'm gonna try to find a used command module in the mean time as I have a nice sized library of drum samples.

[@cavanaughdesigns]

When will this BFD be available to purchase and will it be available in the US? love the sound. and thank you for the demo. brilliant!!!

[@christph3118]

Are they going to give current owners of Alesis Command/Surge/etc owners BFD player as well?

[@adriansandom7135]

My Alesis Surge Mesh not properly detected in BFD. Need help

[@Ron_C]

Any idea when it will be ready for release? Website states "Early 2023"...

[@mikelecza7657]

I just got the Command X Special Edition and I see nothing about a free BFD VST. Where should I be finding information about acquiring this?

[@slappymcslapster8845]

What would be a Def Leppard/80's type of drum sound. Does this pack have it?

[@neil_g78]

why do i only get dark mahogony? where do i download the others? sorry new to this

[@johndef5075]

I dont get it. Why arent the vst sounds loaded into the module? Is the module even needed if using vst? Or can you just use trigger interfaces with the vst?

[@MrRipeas]

Can the BDF Player be used in Protools?

[@producer_of_juni]

i'm confused how do we as alesis boys get this

[@djfuzzofficial]

Does this work with the Strike Pro Module?

[@adrianharper2510]

BFD did not come with a single kit or a download for a kit. Thinking of returning my Alesis kit :(

[@mrbenn64]

Are those packs included? Any kind of core library? I have installed and just have one kit named Dark Mahogany.

[@mondragonluis]

I wonder this too. I installed it yesterday and I only got the Dark Mahogany kit as well (which sounds pretty good, btw).

[@claudest-pierre3588]

You have to buy other pack if you want more.they are giving the dark mahogany.

[@tkelly830]

​@@mondragonluis How was the process downloading to your laptop/PC? I just bought an HP laptop with Windows 11 that will only be used for the software. Do I need to download the drivers for the Surge Kit before? I'm a newb when it comes this.

[@cmpc724]

Can anyone comment on their computer specs and how BFD performs?

[@Ludo_A]

'Coming soon' and 'early 2023'; nope, sep 1 and still nothing for the BFD player on the BFD website ...

[@Bellie1970]

They must put effort in making a better module. The set is great, only the module sucks bigtime. To buy a few extra kits in the software, it will cost you a lot extra money. Better save the money and buy a better drumkit.

[@Tkivo]

just bought the alesis drums and got bfd. the player is shit. it can't load any preset. if you're thinking of buying this software - just don't. this is relatively new software with zero support and zero bug solutions. UPDATE: still unable to make the software work. Support is shit. they are aware that this is just a quick money grab from alesis - selling the old drum kit with a new paint job + VST that is still officially unavailable - so it's full of bugs and probably wont work like mine. this is the second time I decided to buy an alesis product and the second time they fooled me with their marketing lies. I feel like an idiot now.

[@ILuvJazzNJava]

That sucks, I downloaded BFD player and the Dark Mahoganny pack and it works for me.

[@tkelly830]

​@@ILuvJazzNJava Likewise, how long did it take to download the mahogany? It's still downloading now, showing a few hours. I will install it to a USB once downloaded. Did you have to do any mapping once installed with module or was it relatively plug and play?

[@ILuvJazzNJava]

@@tkelly830 plug and play for me since I installed it on my hard drive. I think you do have to map it if you install elsewhere, don’t ask me how though. It’s a huge download, but I’m on super fast fibre optic internet so only took me 5 minutes.

[@tkelly830]

​@@ILuvJazzNJava Cool, I just bought an HP laptop with Windows 11 that will only be used with software. Do I need to download the surge drivers first? Sorry for all the questions, I'm a newb

[@ILuvJazzNJava]

@@tkelly830 I use a Mac, so sorry I don’t know. No drivers required on a Mac.

[@natevart4156]

Horrible job explaining how it Install and use. These are generally beginner kits and ur treating the audience like there are experienced in every aspect of this. If u showed the process more u would have a lot more customers.
