I just loaded the Percussion Expansion, but I don’t see any presets to go with the grooves. When I load a groove, I don’t know what drums should be loaded where. Am I supposed to populate the kit with drums for each groove? The other expansion packs I ordered seemed to be more “plug-and-play.” Am I missing something?
Grooves do not load Kits or Presets…
Presets load Grooves.
BFD Percussion includes 4 Presets…46 Kits…78 Palettes…each Palette has multiple Grooves.
Palettes will play all the Grooves in order…Selecting 1 Groove will loop over and over otherwise there would literally be thousands of Presets if you saved a Palette or Groove per each Kit and saved as a Preset.
Probably one of the most extensive Percussion Libraries ever…somewhere around 140+ Kit Pieces…Benoni Studios did a Demo including some Kits/Examples he put together
You can load a Palette or Groove then go to Presets or Kits and go down the list auditioning/loading one by one as the Pallete or Groove plays
or
load/Select a Preset or a Kit and go down the Palette or Groove List auditioning/loading one by one as the Palette or Groove plays then save a Preset.
or
Load a Preset…then go down the Kit list…
or
any combination of the above.
The more time you spend becoming Familiar with it and the more experience… the more you’ll get out of it…
The product page is pretty vague…Here are a couple more links and I attached the original manual.

One thing to note
BFD Percussion has an issue where some drums have empty channels.
This results in “-inf” values ALWAYS…. this needs to be fixed by our content team.
