After a bit of a delay, every product download now includes revised Mac installers. Here's an overview of what you need to know.
Note: we've had to temporarily remove the new Mac installers due to a slight flaw in the uninstaller. The uninstaller is not 'seeing' Addictive Drums so it cannot remove those files. Hopefully, this is a relatively easy fix and we'll add the revised files back into our downloads soon.

We had to redesign the installer and uninstaller 'from the ground up' in order to meet Apple's new, stricter requirements. These apps are 'notarized' and should run without an annoying warning you that the world may end if you continue.
Heavy v1.0.0 EXPANSiON WiN MAC P2P 1.6 GB BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2. BFD Heavy is an expansion for BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2 featuring 2 stunning Yamaha birch drumkits and a variety of presets designed for hard rock and metal styles.
You need to have Mac OS 10.9 or above to run the new installer. We can provide older installers, if necessary.
The installer uses the files in the 'Other MIDI Mappings' folder of your download. Please do not move the installer or move/delete the 'Other MIDI Mappings' folder until you've completed your installation!The new installer and uninstaller are located in the 'InstallersMac' folder of your download.
If you've made any previous purchases, you may download your purchases again. If you lost the original download links, you can always download at our legacy area: support > legacy accounts
You'll need to establish a legacy account password if you don't already have one (your 'web shop' password won't be recognized).
Click the 'forgot password' link at the legacy area to get a temporary password (good for 30 minutes). If you need assistance, we'll be happy to help.
The new Mac installer supports BFD3 and Addictive Drums 2. Each product has a dedicated section in the Read Me PDF file included in your download. Installing the files for either one a simple, two-step process.
The files will now appear when you click the BFD3 'Library' button in the 'Grooves' section.
For Addictive Drums 2, run the installer, open Addictive Drums and click “Refresh MIDI Library” in the settings [?] menu. (image below)
The new installer does not support BFD v1.5 (the original BFD). We still have the files and if you need help installing for v1.5, please contact support.
We now have a single uninstaller for all products and it's included in every download. You can retain one copy and store or run it anywhere on your Mac.
Important: The new uninstaller only works for products you've installed using the new installer. The old uninstallers are product-specific.
For reference, the location of your old uninstallers is: ApplicationsGroove Monkee<product name>
Help is usually available 7 days a week so please contact us if you need assistance. In the meantime, the 'Read Me' file, available in your download or here may the the answer to your question. If not, we'll be more than happy to help you.
