BFD3 v3.3.1.31 Public Beta

[totpunkt]

I have a Problem with BFD 3.3.1. in Catalina 10.15.1.
I used it before in Propellerhead Reason as VST. But now the Core-Library is not found. When is start scanning I get an "ok". But nothing happens. And the Core Library is installed? Many install again? But
i ´m looking for a new UNINSTALLER...but can't find it here?

Running on DP10.11 (Mac OS Catalina) and am unable to save certain edits in the groove editor. Loaded up a completed song and the dynamics of a couple of articulations have mysteriously been raised; I bump them down again in the editor, save, but when I re-open the track the same thing happens. Have tried saving as a new file - same thing. Have tried saving the edits by overwriting the saved preset, but no luck; when I load the preset the same error is there. I have tested a couple of other edits - removing the snare in a groove, for example - and this does save. So it seems random.

Tried to make changes as standalone - same issue. Make edits, save, reload, and the edits are not saved.

Ideas?

Please try moving the BFD3 Core Library folder to a slightly different location (e.g. within Documents rather than Documents/FXpansion), and updating your Content Locations window accordingly. This should allow BFD3 to scan the Core Library successfully. We'll be addressing this issue and few other issues raised in another update soon.

First, thank you for releasing the Catalina update!

However, I'm running into a problem with BFD3 and Logic Pro X (fresh install of both). Specifically, Logic Pro crashes when validating the BFD3 plugin.

I have provided more information below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

-------

BFD3 v3.3.1.31
Logic Pro X v10.4.8.5182
Mac Catalina v10.15.3 (2019 MBP 16", Core i7, 32GB RAM)

The standalone BFD3 application loads and runs fine (although I had to move the core library to another directory for it to locate the sound files. For some reason, BFD3 is "explicitly excluding" the default install directories).

The BFD3 plugin consistently crashes (segfaults) during Logic Pro validation (Logic Pro Plug-in Manager shows the BFD3 plug-in as v1.80.0).

I have tried clearing the AudioUnit caches, which triggers the plug-in validation when starting Logic Pro, but it crashes here and when manually running the validation (Reset & Rescan Selection).

Last few lines of the Logic Pro plug-in validation log:

Code: Select all

...
Test MIDI
  PASS

Hi,

Little issue with this latest version.

Everything works fine but the grooves appear and disappear.
So if i select a library like a proper country djent or any other, the box with the grooves is empty. They will play sequentially if i press PLAY on the library itself but i cannot select the single grooves i want to use.

Clicking around on random libraries will make the grooves appear or disappear at random. The already named proper country djent might sometimes appear but one click or two away and the grooves will disappear again.

This is unfortunately not ideal.

Running Windows 10 x64 latest update and Cubase 9.0

Thank you

Hi all, there will be another update soon to address some of the issues that have arisen since the v3.3.1.31 public beta - we'll let you know once this is available.

[hartmuthillmann]

Does not work at all here. The Installer gives the message:
"Unable to automatically locate the InstallScript.
This file should normally be located in
CWD/Installer/InstallScript.fis
Please find the file required."
Then I tried to copy the BFD3 files from the MacOSX folder into the respective folders manually.

BFD3.app crashes during start.

Ableton Live crashes when trying to scan the BFD3.vst inside the VST folder.

BTW: a AU/Components file is not included, just the VST file, therefore BFD3 does not show up in Logic X at all.

Hi there, which version of macOS are you installing v3.3.1.31 of BFD3 on? This is an error we'd expect to see with a version of BFD3 that predates macOS 10.12. If you're experiencing this issue with the Mac installer of v3.3.1.31 specifically, please let us know.

I assume, you are using version 3.3.0.44 which is not Catalina ready because the installer app is 32-bit, I believe.

Thanks, this issue should have been resolved for OS versions beyond Sierra, but please try the following steps that should allow you to launch the installer successfully.

- Right-click the installer file and select ‘Show Package Contents
- Go to Contents -> MacOS and double-click the FXpansionInstallSystem file
- Enter your system password and the installer will run successfully

Does anyone know if it's possible to install a kit without the actual installer? I've got a few of the drumdrops kits, but their installers don't even open on Catalina, have a no entry sign over them. Emailed Drumdrops to ask if they're updating them and they said they were no longer working with BFD and had no intention of upgrading. Then asked if I could get the Kontact versions of the kits to which they basically told me I was shit out of luck. Feel quite annoyed when I've paid them so much money over the years. I can get into the installers and see the samples and kits, but I don't know how to install these into BFD. Is it possible?

Thank You so much Lawrence, that worked!!! Within Logic and Live.
