How to use BFD2 Content in BFD 3.4?

[shanabit]

You have to PM Drew or sent support a ticket and get a new serial number to run BFD2 content in BFD3,

There is no way around this

ALL BFD Content has to have a NEW serial number under the new diabolcal owners, InMusic Brand

This isnt real fun…

[markinoz]

So is there a form to fill out so I can get my BFD2 license number updated so I can use the content I paid for?

Your BFD 2 content/serials through Fxpansion won’t work, as they are legacy products no longer supported, but you can get a replacement serial# for London Sessions which is the same library.

Read this if you need replacement Eldorado & London Sessions

Hey all! Anyone who needs replacement serials for BFD1, BFD2, SP1, SP2, and ZP1, get in touch with technical support. They will need your: FXpansion username Product serial number(s) inMusic Profile username I used to handle this directly, but I’m just not able to keep up with it anymore. Please use the official support channels to resolve this issue. Apologies.

I’ve messaged Drew to get a replacement serial number.

Dont stress bro, the London kits are just as screaming loud as when you used BFD2, haha

Once you have the serials you will be fine, it installs just like an expansion kit.

IF you can’t find the kits/presets/grooves. on a Mac scan Library/App Support/BFD Drums/BFD2/System.

On PC I don’t know where BFD2 Kits/Presets are located

Drew sent me a new serial and its all sorted…

@Rdl95 Apparently, you don’t actually have to post anything to be gain privileges to PM. It just requires reading posts for at least 10 mins. Have a look here:

Here are the official rules for getting bumped up a level so you can message: Get to trust level 1 by… *** Entering at least 5 topics** *** Reading at least 30 posts** *** Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts** By reading they just mean slowly scrolling by a post. This is set by the software (not BFD) to keep spammers out. It works pretty well.

Or you can not do any hoop jumpng at all, and just notify the PRODUCT OWNER with an @

@BFD_Drew

Of course, none of this would matter if the issue just got resolved at BFD’s end.

Thanks…scrolling now

When you install the new inmusic version of BFD3 it creates new folders that (I think) are almost identical to the old fxpansion ones but they are just in the new BFD Dums folders, so where you have an fxpansion folder in your documents in which your grooves/kits/maps/presets/ and other folders are, you will now have a BFD Drums folder in your documents, inside of which are the same folders. So you can manually move your kits/presets/maps form the fxpansion folders into the new BFD Drums folders of the same name.

Hello, Steve,

I’m sorry to bother you.

Should all kits/presets/maps from all expansions and BFD1 and BFD2 be in those folders in the BFD Drums folder in documents?

Can those folders be empty in Library>Application Support>BFD Drums, or, should there be a copy in both spots?

I am all set now with all of the expansions showing up in License Manager and I’m able to access all drum pieces, but, I can’t figure out how to import the older presets.

I have presets for BFD 3, BFD Horsepower, BFD London Sessions, BFD3.3 and BFD3.4.

I have a folder in Library>Application Support?BFD Drums that has a folder for BFD Eco and BFD2 which appears to have all of the older Presets, but, when I try to import them BFD3 doesn’t allow me to select them. Is there a trick to importing them?

[Fender_Bender]

@josephlevie You can try, Add BFD2 Paths and Rescan System Paths in content locations section under the Tools menu.

Alternatively if that doesn’t work, you can physically move presets from that “system” location to the users directory and rescan. users/Documents/BFD3/Presets

With the exception of the core library presets, I keep all my presets in the users path instead because I was having issues with presets not showing in the system location, no matter what I did.
