I haven’t seen an updated Manual/User Guide as of this post…
The Articulations for the BFD3 Core Library are still the same.
The 1/8 Articulations I have only seen in Dark Farm…which is the most recent expansion.
The AIR Plugins are New…(Well…“New” for BFD3)
The Plugins are from the Creative FX Collection] which has been around since Pro Tools 8 or so…
I still have an old link for the Creative Collection and created a Download for the more current version which is both Create FX and Creative FX Plus.
The change from 5-9 is CC4 upgrade for the Variable Hi Hat…
under the Hi Hat Edit menu…adding more MIDI Notes to recordings without having to deal with CC4 as much during Editing/Moving to DAW…(I haven’t much experience with that so can’t say for sure)
But as mentioned previously,I only see the 1/8 Articulations in Dark Farm…
OLD
NEW
DARK FARM HI HATS
The most advanced Hi Hat on the market is Rolands VH-14D which has left right Articulations for the Bow/Edge/Bell (Positional sensing)…but still utilizes only 5 MIDI Notes
