Yes. FREE and PRO versions are independent audio plug-ins and can be used in parallel.
For example:
One instance of Disto::Fx FREE is applied as distortion effect to first track in your DAW and Disto::Fx PRO is applied as distortion effect to second track in your DAW.
Are PRO version updates free of charge?
The PRO version is valid up to (and including) next minor version.
All updates are free of charge and the corresponding download link is sent via email.
For example:
If you buy Disto::Fx PRO version 1.6.x, you will get an update for all versions up to and including Disto::Fx PRO 1.7.x.
Which note to play to get the best effect?
Bass/kick drum base frequencies between 30 - 65 Hz sound really good,
check the note's frequency display to make sure you play the proper note.
The note F1 corresponds to the frequency of 43.65 Hz, which will give you a nice, low and powerful low bass drum sound.
You will find more detailed information under the following link: Table of Frequencies of Musical Notes - Physics
