FXpansion BFD Supplemental - Manual (Page 8)


Using BFD in Cakewalk Project 
Because BFD installs a set of DXi plugins, you do not need to run the Cakewalk VST
Adapter in order to wrap the VST versions into DXi format.
To use BFD in Project 5, simply click the
Insert Track button and select one of the BFD
plugins which should be visible on the menu.
Using BFD in Cakewalk Sonar
Because BFD installs a set of DXi plugins, you do not need to run the Cakewalk VST
Adapter in order to wrap the VST versions into DXi format.
To use BFD, please do the following after launching Sonar:
1. Insert BFD as a DXi plugin. To do this, use one of the following 3 methods:
• Open the Synth Rack (using the Synth Rack entry on the View menu) and
choose one of the BFD plugins from the Insert button’s drop-down menu.
• Use the Insert/DX Instruments menu command to display a list of installed DXi's,
and choose one of the BFD entries.
• You can also right-click on the Fx field of an unused audio track, aux bus or
virtual main bus, in either the Track or Console view. Under DXi Synth, choose
one of the BFD plugin entries. This method is limited to using only the first stereo
output pair of the DXi, so is not recommended when using BFD Groups or BFD
All.
2. If you used one of the first two methods, bring up the Insert DXi Synth Preferences
dialog (using the Insert DXi Synth Options button in the Synth Rack view) and use
the Create These Tracks… options according to which BFD version you are using. If
you used the Fx field method, click the Out field of a MIDI track and select BFD.
3. If you intend to play BFD using a MIDI controller such as a keyboard, ensure that the
Audio Engine button on the Transport toolbar is enabled, and the required track is
in focus (its titlebar will be gold).
