DRUMFORGE DAVID BENDETH v1.0.4 - UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS

Before you do anything, read these instructions completely. There's a right way to do this and a wrong way - and the wrong way means re-downloading the entire library all over again, and nobody wants that.

V1.0.4 is live, and here are the improvements since V1.0.3:

New: Drumshotz View: a dedicated view for managing your Drumshotz, with visual feedback when triggers fire (toggle on/off in settings), and clear indicators when a library or individual Drumshotz are missing, including the ability to relocate or remove them directly from the GUI. Also fixes sample loading for non-24-bit PCM and floating-point WAVs.

• Master channel routing fixed — VIEW menu options now correctly apply to it, and a new "Reset Routing" option lets you fall back to the default output when a preset doesn't specify one

• Routing presets implemented

• Mix View loads and refreshes faster

• Missing Drumshotz are no longer auto-cleared from your session on save

• GUI size control moved to the top bar (removed from Settings)

• General UI polish in the Mappings view (clearer MIDI note dropdowns, "NA" replaces "UNASSIGNED")

• Settings will now tell you when a plugin reload is needed for a change (OpenGL/Automation) to take effect

• Option added to auto-close Drum Kit Preset windows on new preset selection

How to Update

The update runs through the Drumforge Updater, which was installed automatically alongside the sampler.

Follow these steps exactly:

Updating from your DAW

1. Open the Drumforge David Bendeth plugin window.

2. Click the Drumforge David Bendeth logo at the top of the interface to access the Settings view.

3. Click the LAUNCH UPDATER button in the bottom bar to open the updater.

4. Save your session and close the DAW before proceeding to ensure a successful update.

Updating from your Desktop

1. Open the folder where you installed Drumforge David Bendeth.

2. Double-click the Drumforge David Bendeth Updater executable.

3. Select "Update Components" and make sure all boxes are ticked.

4. Run the update.

5. That's it. No full reinstall. No re-downloading the library.

First-Time Install?

If you haven't installed the Drumforge David Bendeth Updater yet, or you're doing a completely fresh install, grab version 1.0 from the original download link sent to your email. After that first clean install, all future updates go through the updater.

Having Issues?

Reach out to the Drumforge support team (email support@drumforge.com). We'll walk you through it manually and make sure you're up and running.

Going Forward

Every future update to Drumforge David Bendeth - and all Drumforge plugins - will follow this same process. Once you've got it down, you've got it down for good.

Get updated and be creative.
