Addictive Drums 2 is a virtual instrument that takes your drum productions to a new level.
Sounds - all sampled drum/cymbal sounds are recorded with a multichannel mic setup, just as you would record a real drum kit. Extensive layering, capturing everything from the softest to the hardest drum hit, combined with alternating samples throughout, provides the realism and playability your track deserves.
Additional ‘one shot’ drum samples in the form of Trigger kit pieces can be layered with the main samples to add an extra sonic dimension to your drum sounds.
Playback Settings & Effects - shape your sound by tweaking pitch, volume envelopes and sample selection. Then finish it off with the built in effects in AD2 - each channel has EQ, Compressor, Dist, Transient Shaper, Tape Saturation and more, as well as two send effects with reverb and delay.
Beats & Fills - a library of MIDI files in different styles, all easily accessible from within AD2 gives you the building blocks to create drum tracks quickly.
Cloud Sync
Cloud Sync is a small background application that is installed by default when installing Addictive Drums 2.
It works like this: If you are using AD2 while connected to the internet, all saved user files (presets, key maps and beat favorites) will be uploaded instantly to your XLN account. This means that when working on more than one computer, all your user files are automatically kept in sync. And when doing a fresh install on a new computer, the first time you start AD2 all your user files will be downloaded and become instantly available.
