BFD ECO 1.7.0.5 update available

Oh dear,
 
I've had this before with the crash log generator not always producing but after a while they have appeared after 4 or 5 attempts. Might be worth crashing a few more times to see it it will generate a log?
At least that way the bakers will have something to work on if you want to report it.
 
Does it crash as soon as you've fired it up or does it require some interaction from you before crashing?
 
I've just downloaded all the demo packs for it and am falling in love with it again, still prefer it to EZdrummer since I rarely use midi loops which is the only thing I see in EZdrummer that Eco doesn't do as elegantly.

Super.
 
To be honest I don't think you're missing much apart from the demo packs which we already have access to as BFD3 users but still, nice to keep up to date.

Indeed...I always keep everything up to date (at least try to)

I have to say...Eco sounds way better then AD, EZD...IMO....LMNOP

I just went to the DL area and this update is listed as a Public beta. Since I don't use Eco I will probably just leave it be. I did DL the recent Public Beta of BFD3 though as it is my goto Drum VI.  Will do a system image and then install.

Most fxpansion updates are listed as 'public beta' and always have been, if not they're listed as either major or minor.
It does put people off but I've never had any issues with them, it's just their terminology.
 
As a beta tester we have our own forum and the updates are posted weeks or months before hand and are listed as, 'private beta's' so public betas just mean they have already been through the beta testing process.

Have just discovered that, 'nearly' all my expansion kits are loading and working in the new BFDLAC format so if you have any expansions that you converted to the new format you can point Eco to them and see if it picks them up.
 
Unfortunately all my the kits in BFD3 format but all the individual kit pieces load in BFD in Eco now.
But it seems the 3rd party ones don't, so can't load the BFD3 kit pieces as they were recorded by Platinum Samples.
Actually, the Chocolate Audio Imperial kits pieces are loading so some 3rd party kits do load.
 
I would actually have to load the kit pieces and save them in the Eco format to load full kits.
Still, if you have other fxpansion kits you can just point Eco to them and if it doesn't like them it will tell you so ;-)

The new update appears to be finding my Platinum Samples kits ok. In the case of Rock Legends it shows up under the "Kits" tab, and in the case of Evil Drums, they show up under the "Preset" tab.

 
All my kits and kit pieces are in BFD3 or BFD2 format so Eco won't load them.
It has picked up the PS folder now so the kit pieces will load. I just checked the PS site thinking they might have the kit presets in Eco format but they don't.
 
I have the Andy Johns & Joe berresi kits but can't see any presets in my account.

I think this came up once before. I think you see them if you have the dvd version otherwise it's incorporated into the download installer. Or I could be totally wrong :)
