Introduction
Welcome to Advanced Drum Emulation. NFUZD Audio NSPIRE Series is the first system to fully integrate with VST drumming technology
and provide real sizes to produce Advanced Drum Emulation in an easy–to–use package that can be set up to meet your personal musical
needs.
During a four–year research and development period we studied the requirements of electronic drums from the customer's point of view.
We discovered that the majority of users were asking for a much higher sound quality in a simple–to–use system that incorporates the
best of both hardware and VSTi drum software. The flexibility to use the correct drum sizes, giving users the same response using the
same motor memory as on an acoustic set, was also a key requirement.
Based on studying 20 years of electronic drum products, we found that most electronic drum sets included hundreds of sounds that were
never used because they did not sound good. The NSPIRE I/O module does not include a massive amount of sounds. We focused on
quality over quantity. The NSPIRE system uses uncompressed .wav files to provide you with superior audio performance, engineered by
one of the premiere VSTi drum sample producers.
The power to customize this system comes from the award–winning BFD drum software platform. BFD Eco NFUZD Edition is included.
There are unlimited sonic options at your fingertips using simple, professional audio mixing techniques and over one terabyte (and
growing) of additional BFD expansion pack sounds. The user can decide what sounds they want to use from the largest professional VSTi
collection of drum instruments available and add those sounds to their module. The user can also add their own samples and import audio
loops. The customer decides what they want the NSPIRE system to sound like.
The NSPIRE Advanced Drum Emulation system allows you to play the sizes you want and sound the way you want with the most realistic
feel and sound possible with any electronic drumming product. We are proud to have raised the bar.

Overview

The NSPIRE manual is organized to help you get results quickly with a very simple approach. Everything you want to do is just a couple of
clicks away. We start the manual with the Panel Layouts section, but all you really need to do is turn on the module for the first time to
start experiencing this Advanced Drum Emulation system.
You will notice that you start on preset number two. These presets are designed as building blocks for you to design your ideal presets
which are saved as User Kits. The combination of instruments used in our presets serves as a starting point that will get you going quickly
and let you experience the high–quality sounds. Rotate the data dial to try the different presets. You will also have three sound banks
generated from BFD Eco NFUZD Edition pre-installed to give you an example of what can be done with the included software. Insert the
NFUZD Audio USB key to explore what you can do with the NSPIRE system and User Kits.
