BFD Zildjian Digital Vault Vol.2

General Information

What is BFD Zildjian Digital Vault Vol.2?

BFD Zildjian Digital Vault Vol.2 is an expansion pack for BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2 containing meticulously recorded Zildjian cymbals and additional percussion sounds. It provides a wide range of playing styles and articulations.

What do I need in order to use this product?

A licensed software installation of BFD3, BFD Eco or BFD2 is required in order to use BFD Zildjian Digital Vault Vol.2. The cymbal and percussion kit-pieces are available within your software after installation and authorization.

Can I use this product with BFD 1.x?

No - this expansion can only be used with BFD3, BFD Eco or BFD2 (versions 2.1 or later only). BFD 2.1 is a free update to all registered BFD2 users.

Why does it have these requirements?

BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2.1 (and later versions) are equipped to handle the data format and custom channel layout featured in this expansion; previous versions of BFD2 and BFD 1.x cannot.

What kind of limitations exist when using this product with BFD Eco?

When using this expansion in BFD Eco, limitations apply in terms of the audio channels and articulations that are available (this is one of BFD Eco's limitations, as opposed to the fully-featured BFD3 or BFD2).

BFD Eco is a streamlined instrument based on the BFD2 engine.

What are the cymbals in this pack designed for?

Many of the Zildjian cymbals in this collection are designed for orchestras, ensembles and marching bands, although they can be used in any styles of music, especially as interesting alternatives to crash cymbals. The following Zildjian cymbal ranges are featured heavily:

• K Constantinople:
  K Constantinople cymbals have a dark, warm, complex and rich sound. They blend with the sound of an ensemble. They are also available in an even darker/heavier version called the K Constantinople Vintage which feature more attack and articulation.
• K Symphonic:
  K Symphonic cymbals have an immediate attack with a strong midrange and an an almost 'roar'-like sustain characteristic.
• Classic Orchestral:
  The Classic Orchestral range has a bright and buoyant sound that rises above the sound of the ensemble.
• Symphonic Tone:
  Symphonic Tone cymbals are orchestral cymbals with a classic and bright 'A' Zildjian sound.
• Concert Stage:
  Concert Stage cymbals feature a classic 'A' Zildjian sound and are designed specifically for Concert Band playing.
• Stadium:
  Stadium cymbals are designed for outdoor or indoor marching bands and feature superb projection and dynamics.
