Thank you for the reply. I've been really busy and haven't had time to answer. When I click on 'No Drum Map', or the Drum Map button on the channel, 'Create Drum Map From Instrument' is greyed out, and I can't select it.

I have a drum map for Addictive Drums that I use with Sonar, but it was created for Sonar. While there are a ton of presets, it only takes one map per preset because the drums always line up with the map. I'll make a map, and see if I can upload it here in case someone needs it in the future. Martin.Jirsak wrote:Hi, Is this necessary to download? You would need different maps for every single preset, right? Add an Instrument track, select the Addictive Drums 2.

Add the track. Open Inspector of the track – Track Name (the 1st) tab. Down, you can see 'No Drum Map'. Click on it, and select Create Drum map From Instrument. I hope, this works with the Addictive Drums 2. I know, this works with Groove Agent, but I don't have the Addictive Drums 2.

Pretty sure this is a Groove Agent 4/SE exclusive feature right now. Martin.Jirsak wrote:Hi, Is this necessary to download?

Pretty sure this is a Groove Agent 4/SE exclusive feature right now. I would expect, this is possible for all VST3 plug-ins. But they have to support it.

But I'm not sure. Martin.Jirsak wrote:Hi, Is this necessary to download? You would need different maps for every single preset, right? Add an Instrument track, select the Addictive Drums 2. Add the track. Open Inspector of the track – Track Name (the 1st) tab. Down, you can see 'No Drum Map'.

Yeah, that's a drag but the impression I get is they are a smaller company and AD was their first release so I'm assuming that this release is their jump into the big leagues. Probably a little more future ready than the first and perhaps they'll have some workarounds for this problem once the dust settles. I am really impressed with AD and they were actually my first choice when I was looking for a drum program but then I found out about BFD and wanted the extra routing options. Still I'm using AD in my current project and I can see using it on more stuff in the future. Djoni How do I upgrade to AD2?

Is there a discount for X3P users? I'm assuming you get AD1 to AD2 upgrade price because X3 came with the full version (I may be wrong). Also apparently if you bought X3 recently (within the upgrade grace period XLN is offering to new AD1 customers) you'll get a free upgrade. See the thread I posted above for Andrew's post. Although he does not provide details. Oh and just to buy the upgrade I'm assuming you'd just go through XLN's store thingie via the account you set up when you registered the version that came with X3.

A little older thread but this may help some who are wondering about presets from old AD versions. Or sharing AD kit setups. I was online and found some great AD1 presets (ex.

Search for ' The Buddha Rats') Download and saved as.ADPreset (ex. TBRRockBox.ADPreset) Opened up AD2 - selected the kit tab Drag the AD1 preset file from a windows explorer session onto AD2 - VOILA! Kit and all settings are there Then hit save! To save it in your 'My Presets' bin of presets within AD2 and as an.AD2Preset in windows (C: users.) Yeah! Now if everyone who has AD1 or AD2 saved just one preset and shared it with everyone here. So I contacted XLN Audio support and I got the following response. Kind of a bummer.

I thought Platinum included a free update??? Sent: Hey, I do have one more question. How do I load the AD1 kit pieces into AD2? I have songs using these and would like to keep working on them with the new interface. Response: In answer to your question you cannot load in AD1 kitpieces into AD2 directly as AD2 is a different program from AD1.

But you can buy the upgrade to AD2 from us which converts all your AD1 content for use in AD2. More details on the upgrade can be found here: Anyone else.
