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.
Contemporary Jazz
The fabled classic and vintage jazz sound can now take centre-stage in your mixes. A vintage Premier Gen-X drum kit has been tuned to perfection with immense attention to detail that can inject personality and sophistication to your tracks. Tuned slightly higher than conventional rock and roll drum kits, the Modern Jazz Sticks ADpaks allows every note to resonate through in a pristine and controlled way to become a melodic instrument in itself. A selection of Meinl, Pasite and Sabian cymbals have been chosen for their smooth and silky character that can add excitement to your music without sounding harsh or abrasive, making it the perfect combination with the vintage Premier X-Gen kit.
Mix-ready presets
Crafted by some of the best in the business, the Modern Jazz Brushes ADpak comes included with a huge selection of production-ready presets to insert the knowledge and expertise of world-class producers in your songs! Covering a whole range of genres, the included presets are perfect for all kinds of soulful music be it Hip-Hop, Funk, R&B, Soul, Jazz and more. Not content with the selection of presets available? Customise your sounds and presets through the Addictive Drums 2 engine with EQ, compression, envelope shaping, volume faders and more to curate your sonic signature.
