Failure in Tuning for DW Mid Tom 12 of Dark Farm Expansion

BFD Expansion Packs General Discussion
1

There seems to be a failure in the Tuning Section of the DW Mid Tom 12.
See the picture in the Annex.
There is no “Key” displayed and the Hz-Value always stays at 1.000.
Only the semitone-Values change during Tuning.
Is there a way to overcome this?

This is also happening in a few other kits like Crush, Sphere, and Imperial drums.
Only seems to be happening on Toms that I have seen.

You are correct..I have also seen it in Dark Farm and others..

It has to be manually corrected in the Kit Piece info…or All of those infos fixed and another BFD update..I don’t see that happening as I believe this may have been the last for BFD3
I would have used the DW 12 for the example as in the OP..however all of my expansions are Edited and Kit Pieces use proper names/sozes etc etc and I don’t have a reference to where DW 12 is.

Example Crush High Tom 1..corrected..Tuning Parameters Fixed

Chaser, thank you for the feedback. Could you give some more details on what and how would I have to correct manually in the Kit Piece info. I have the crush expansion too. So what would I have to do to correct the High Tom 1?

Hi Chaser, me once more.
Meanwhile I figured out that I have to change the wrong values (kpi_pitchHz=“0.0” kpi_stableTime=“0.0”) in the BFDInfo.xml in the audio file directory (in my case in F:\BFD Drums - Libraries\BFD Crush\Audio\Crush Drums\Mid Tom 1). I changed the values to values of a working drum (here f.i. Mid Tom 2) kpi_pitchHz=“105.843” kpi_stableTime=“0.17”.
Now also the tuning of the Mid Tom 1 is working as it should.

I was just completing a reply..with a short lecture…lol

I had seen you joined 3 days ago so I was listing all of the pitfalls/warnings…of Editing something if you are not familiar with it.

Obviously you are familiar with the info’s..and yes that was also what I had edited..

Typically the pitchHZ is set to -1

change to

kpi_pitchHz=“0” kpi_stableTime=“0”..

Save

Reload Kit Piece.

This doesn’t seem to work on all kit pieces as I have the low tom in Crush still not activated (Greyed Out) in the Tuning..

The Full Tuning Feature also seems to not be activated for Cymbals,Kicks ,Snares etc etc

So by just changing -1 to 0.. it’s hit and Miss…

As you mentioned adding a working value seems to activate it..

The Tunings are loaded/saved in the Preset.

There are also now 11,000 Compatibility Files which are for everything Kits,Presets,Kit Pieces,Artic Tweaks.Pal etc etc and they are not named..they are numbered so finding a specific one is a needle in a Haystack..
