    @peter

    Google generative AI, based on it’s examining BFDDrums.com site, had this result when I asked, “when is bfd 4 expected to be released?”:

    “As of today, there is no official announcement regarding a release date for BFD 4, and no concrete information about when it might be expected; developers have not publicly stated any plans for a new BFD version beyond updates for the current BFD 3 iteration”

    Consequently, considering InMusic’s terrible track record, and especially their track record with BFD3, which they purchased, I believe, more than a decade ago on version 3 and haven’t made any improvements big enough to be worthy of calling it BFD3. It looks a lot like this product is merely a cash cow, a product they’re getting as much money as possible from with no intent of a serious future for it. Drew is the product lead and responded to me at Cakewalk Forum last year making it appear that a BFD4 would have been here long before now. I would recommend that if you’re not happy with BFD3 being the end of this product’s life, you probably shouldn’t purchase BFD3. Just my instincts as there are no facts from InMusic, which isn’t a good sign either after neglecting the product so long.  I found BFD Player is nice for a free product, but nowhere close to the same league as ezDrummer or AD2 in any respect, sonic quality, mixing capabilities, effects, user experience…

    Here’s the top result, from the BFD corporate forum with Drew answering the questions:
