BFD Lite gives you your own drum studio, with complete control of the 3 drum kits plus additional hats, snares and cymbals. Every drum is recorded from eleven different mics positioned around the kit and room so you can mix your drums by blending the mic sources just like in a real studio. For each type of drum type in each kit, there are a number of different styles of 'hits'. Each of these 'hits' is sampled at up to 20 velocity layers, resulting in drum parts of high detail and expressiveness.
BFD Lite costs $99 and is available as a VST plug-in for Receptor only. The 575 MB demo version can be downloaded from Plugorama for install onto a Receptor where it will operate as a fully functional plug-in for 30 days, after which time a license must be purchased if you wish to continue using it. If you don't want to / can't download a 575 MB file BFD Lite can be delivered on CD for an additional $19.95.
NOTE: The full version of BFD will be available for Receptor shortly.
