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.
Reel Machines
Classic electronic sounds
The Reel Machines AD Pack is jam-packed with analog character and soul through a collection of four extremely popular drum machines and an electronic drum kit from the '80s, that have been recorded to tape using some of the finest gear in the world with a real room ambience to blend in to add realism and depth to your sound. A bonus is the inclusion of a real plate reverb that can enhance your sound with an injection of energy and explosive decay.
Standing out from the crowd, the Reel Machines doesn't simply provide you with a copy and paste library of sample sounds, instead, it aims to add so much more character and soul to the outputs of each drum machine to give the classic sounds we know so well a vintage twist that can help your music stand out from the crowd. The pack is made up of 808-style, 909-style drum machines, LinnDrum Electronics, Simmons ClapTrap and SDS-V modules to give tired drum sounds a much-needed face-lift.
Created by some of the best in the business, the Reel Machines comes included with a huge library of presets that ranges from classic and super-clean to heavily processed and modern. All the presets and individual drum sounds are of course tweakable and customisable through the Addictive Drums 2 engine to suit the needs of your music.
Funk
Pearl Reference kit
The Pearl Reference kit included with the Funk ADpak is truly an elite-level drum kit in both construction and sound. The choice kit for many of today's touring musicians, each drum shell has been engineered individually to bring out the best sound for that particular piece to ensure maximum resonance and tone, a feat that translates immaculately through the Funk ADpak. The combination of different woods provides a sophisticated and complex sound with a remarkable tone, that punches the fundamental note through with ease.
Tuned to perfection, the Funk ADpak is the perfect companion for modern soul music with a key focus on musicality. Each drum resonates clearly, ensuring there are no sour notes within your mix that stick out like a sore thumb! Full-bodied and silky smooth, you can expect to feel the pump from the bass drum, the clarity and overtones in the snare and toms with a defined yet crystal clear top end that doesn't suffer from harshness.
Reel Machines Beats

A must-have for all electronic music producers, whether you're producing contemporary drum and bass, vintage garage or hip-hop, this MIDI pack contains all the fundamental beats you need to build your song.
Funk'd Up
