Drumagog 4 will be released on February 28th and will cost US$149 for the Basic version, and US$289 for the Pro version.

All other customers will be able to upgrade to 4.0 for US$79 (basic) or US$149 (pro).

Drumagog BFD
Fxpansion and WaveMachine Labs have co-developed a drum replacer front-end to BFD. Drumagog BFD is essentially Drumagog without its sample-playback features. It automatically triggers BFD's samples, and even allows you to choose BFD's kit pieces from within the Drumagog interface.

Drumagog BFD will be available in spring 2005, and has a preliminary retail price of US$199.
