10:2 BFD plugin output confi gurations
There are four versions of the BFD plugin, which give different permutations of outputs 
into the host. This is due to some hosts’ inability to properly change plugin output 
confi gurations. The name of the plugin version which is currenty being used is shown on 
the top-left of the BFD interface, just underneath the logo.
Please note that BFD must be used as a plugin in order to have multiple output 
functionality. The BFD standalone version always uses BFD Stereo.
For more information on using these plugin types in your host sequencer, please consult 
the supplemental PDF documentation installed with BFD.
BFD Stereo
Stereo Master output only. This version mixes all the ambient 
mic buses together with the Direct Master bus inside the plugin, 
outputting everything to a single stereo pair. The Master level fader controls the overall 
output volume of the plugin. 
When using BFD Stereo, the Output Options panel is very limited. However, it still allows 
you to change bleed levels, and mute any mic channels you do not require. Please see 
section 10:3 for further details.
BFD Groups
Stereo Group outputs version. This version outputs each stereo 
mic bus as an independent stereo output. The Master output fader 
affects the volume of all buses in a relative manner.

This output routing scheme can be changed using the Output Options panel, which 
allows you to freely adjust the routing of all audio streams, including bleed signals, to the 
available outputs (4 stereo). Please see section 10:3 for further details.
