What´s new in AD2
1. More legendary drums. New sound engine.
Our team has traveled around the world and found some truly amazing drums in world-famous studios such as our brand new Fairfax kit. This kit was recorded at the legendary Fairfax Recording studio in Los Angeles (formerly known as Sound City).
Fairfax and all of our existing ADpaks (from Addictive Drums) have been updated to make full use of all the new features of the Addictive Drums 2 engine.
2. New sound shaping and kit building features.
Ask and you shall receive, customers! We've listened to your feedback and made dozens of improvements, both small and large! Highlights include:
More kitpiece slots, new studio-grade effects (including delay and saturation/distortion), brand new Tone Designer and Transient Shaper modules, easy kitpiece linking, and lots of new electronic sounds that can take your drums to exciting new territories.
3. New rhythm creation and transformation tools.
Say goodbye to boring beats. Our new Beats page helps you locate or build interesting beats quickly and to transform existing beats to make them uniquely yours. The intuitive system is designed to be simple for beginners but very deep for power users.
You can even drag-and-drop drum hits and complete loops straight to your music software's timeline for maximum ease of use.
Compatibility
Hosted Mode
Addictive Drums 2 works as a virtual instrument running inside your host music software. It supports all of the major plug-in formats (VST, AU, and AAX) in both 32 and 64-bit.
This means you can use Addictive Drums within most music applications including: Pro Tools, SONAR, Cubase, Logic, Live, Reaper and many others.
Standalone Mode
Addictive Drums 2 can also work as a standalone instrument, without requiring host music software. This makes it easy to load a kit, find an inspiring beat, and start jamming along without having to launch your music software.
This is perfect when you want to jam along without waiting for music software or deal with audio routing.
Electronic drum kits
Owners of electronic drum kits (e-drums) are in luck! Addictive Drums 2 supports most major E-Drum companies like Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, and others.
We include Map Presets for many e-drum models so you can get started quickly. Even if your model is not natively supported, you can easily create maps as long as your kit outputs standard MIDI (most kits do).
You may buy XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 + All Libraries or download it from our website. This product was released on 20 May 2014. Please check compatibility with your hardware and O/S.
