Addictive Drums 2: what's new in version 2.5

Addictive Drums 2 - version 2.5 update

The 2024 Addictive Drums 2 update (v2.5) offers a new look, plenty of workflow improvements, and several new features.

Trig Gate effect

The new Trig Gate lets you mangle your drum sound and still get perfect gate action on every drum hit. No need to dial in threshold settings – the gate is perfectly triggered by the internal midi drum notes.

Compressor "Boost" mode

Make your drums hit harder with the click of a button. The new “Boost” mode adds a new level of thump and attack to your beats, fueled by an XLN-approved multiband compression tailored for drums.

Even better EQ

The EQ now has clear real-time visual feedback of the signal across all frequencies. Settings are clearly visible for easier and more precise adjustments.

Beat Transformer

Modify and reimagine your beats with the powerful Beat Transformer. Change the performance entirely with the twist of a knob, without having to touch the MIDI. Swing accents to add some serious groove, or the perfect human feel with just the right amount of sloppy timing and randomness to the performance.

The version 2.5 update is free to all current Addictive Drums 2 users

Simply run the XLN Online Installer to upgrade to the latest version.
