BFD Decatom is a BFD3 expansion pack, sitting in the documented BFD3 expansion family alongside Imperial Drums, Sleishman Drums, Sleishman Snares, Stanton Moore Cymbals, Sphere, Cocktail, 8 Bit Kit, Dunnett Ti, Heavy, Heavy Rock Classics, Horsepower, Jazz Maple, Jazz Noir, Dark Farm, and JEX. The naming convention in this range matters and should be explained: BFD expansions are frequently named for the kit or the instrument they contain — Imperial Drums for a specific kit built by Chocolate Audio and tuned by session drummer Elio Rivagli; Sleishman Drums for Sleishman's free-floating shell system, where the shell is suspended rather than mounted through it; Stanton Moore Cymbals for a Bosphorus signature cymbal set; Dark Farm for a pair of Q Drum Co. kits in copper and mahogany — so a name like Decatom almost certainly denotes the kit recorded for the expansion rather than a processing approach, and the catalogue should carry the recording details the product page states.

The family's compatibility position is the essential information and should lead the entry: this is a BFD3-family expansion requiring a BFD 3.5 licence, and it is not a BFD Player expansion — because BFD's catalogue is divided into BFD Player expansions and BFD3 expansions, which are not interchangeable, where a BFD Player expansion requires BFD Player 1.1.0 and is explicitly documented as not compatible with BFD3, while a BFD3 expansion requires BFD 3.5 and does not work with BFD Player. Requirements for BFD3 expansions are documented as Windows 10 version 1909 and above or MacOS 12 Monterey and above, with varied disk space per library — Imperial Drums requiring 10.01 GB, Stanton Moore Cymbals 7.42 GB, Signature Snares Vol. 2 at 3.2 GB — plus 8 GB DDR3 RAM and above and Intel Core i5 3.0 GHz or above, AMD Ryzen 3 (2017) and above, or Apple Silicon M1 and above, with an internet connection required to authorize. Format support is VST2, VST3, and AAX, with AU additionally on Mac with Intel and ARM support and no Rosetta requirement. Running BFD 3.5 itself requires 55 GB free disk space, so an expansion should be planned against the host's own footprint. It suits whatever genre its kit was recorded for, and the practical value of a BFD expansion is that every library in the range can be combined into custom kits inside the engine. Confirm the kit contents, disk space, and price for this specific expansion on the product page, since the range's listings differ substantially.
