What's new in Addictive Drums
XLN Addictive Drums 2 has been elevated with the v2.5 update, delivering both workflow improvements and exciting new features. The software now boasts a sleek, revamped interface designed to keep you focused on your music with its polished, modern look. A standout new effect, Trig Gate, allows you to effortlessly sculpt your drum sound with precise gate action on every hit, no threshold adjustments needed, thanks to the use of internal MIDI drum notes. The new Boost mode for the compressor adds extra punch to your beats with multiband compression specially tuned for drums, giving your tracks more energy and impact. On top of that, the EQ now features real-time visual feedback across all frequencies, making it easier than ever to fine-tune your sound with clarity and precision. Best of all, this update is fully backwards compatible, so all your previous presets, tweaks, and settings will work seamlessly, and it supports every Addictive Drums 2 expansion, including ADpaks, MIDIpaks, and Kitpiece paks.
Add some spice
The ultimate way to spice up your arrangement with exotic percussion flavours. Included in this AD Pack are 15 exciting instruments that can add a unique character to your arrangements. Each piece of the kit has been specifically selected and set up to work just like a regular drum kit with easy layering in combination with other sounds to expand your tonal palette.
Meticulously curated, this pack has been designed to work as one cohesive drumkit where all the sounds are glued and matched together. The combination of congas and timbales act as toms, a large orchestral bass drum is used as the kick, a Brazilian Caixa as a snare with expressive pieces around the kit working as percussion effects.
Hit the ground running with the included presets that offer a wide spectrum of sounds, from over-the-top to subtle and mix-friendly, spanning numerous musical genres from Latin, pop, Hip-Hop and R&B and even modern Dancehall.
