Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
My problem is that the download did not occur but the licence manager thinks it did.
I would remember waiting for a 38GB download to complete. The first time I clicked on the core library ticket the licence manager showed 100% for the download instantly. No download of the core library actually occurred prior to the status being shown as 100% complete.
The obvious difference with BFD3 is a significant overhaul of the interface, both The Model panel provides additional control on aspects such as damping and, for the toms, the amount of resonance.visually and functionally. There is also a completely new core-audio library with five new kits, one of which is sampled in three versions based on sticks, brushes and mallets. This gives a total of 118 kit pieces (or, as they're rather intuitively called in the new terminology, 'Drums') plus 1000 new MIDI grooves in a range of musical styles.
BFD3 can work in stand-alone mode or as a VST, AU, RTAS or AAX 64 plug-in, with the first three of these available in either 32- or 64-bit formats. You can purchase either a boxed or downloadable version and choose between three levels of install (18, 27 or 55 GB) depending upon your requirements and available disk space. This includes the above-mentioned compression, without which the full library would be in excess of 160GB. If you purchase the download version, be prepared for a bit of a wait whichever level of installation you go for; unless you are on super-fast fibre all that data is going to take some time to be delivered. That said, once done, installation and authorisation is a very smooth process.
