OVERVIEW

Three professionaly recorded drum sets, with over 100 presets and over 3000 MIDI files.

Addictive Drums is a complete drum production studio. It has everything you need to make a professional drumtrack production. It's flexible, yet very quick to learn and use.

Concept: 3 Vital Parts
Addictive Drums is built on three major, and equally important, building blocks that are a necessity for a complete drum production:

Drum Samples
Drum samples of professional quality from the best drum kit brands available recorded in a studio with great acoustics, a multi-mic setup, and stored in a multichannel format.

Production Tools
Mixer, insert effects, reverbs, and the know-how of a sound technician/producer.

Beats & Fills
Grooves, beats, and fills recorded by a great drummer in different styles, tempos, and feels.

Addictive Drums offers all this, in one easy-to-use plug-in that is compatible with all the major host softwares out there

User Interface
Addictive Drums consists of four main pages: the Kit Page where you can view all of the kit pieces; the Edit Page with all the insert effects; the FX Page with reverbs; and the Beats Page which contains the 3500+ MIDI file library.

The Map Window
The Map Window is where all the settings for the E-Drum Support are located. Edit your Map Presets, customize the settings for velocity and volume on the kitpieces, tweak the hi-hat settings, and more. You open the Map Window from the Beats Page.

Main Features
Production Presets
