Dear BFD.  
@exBFD_Drew @BFD_SKoT

I’m Japanese.  
Please forgive my poor English.  
Sorry.

Take the kick drum as an example.

Unconfirmed, many kits experience these symptoms.  
I’m afraid I can’t write down all the conditions of occurrence.

BFD provides a rich set of para-out options.  
It is very useful.  
However, this does not take advantage of the usefulness of BFD.  
I look forward to the future of BFD.

I Love BFD.

This was noted as a bug and has been fixed in the next build 3.4.3.4.

Not sure when it will be released but it should be very soon.
