Description


Presenting Addictive Drums, the most complete drum production toolkit in the world. Compatible with all major plugin formats, Addictive Drums gives you instant and easy access to every parameter, so you can program completely realistic drum tracks in any style or genre.

Addictive Drums is built on three essential components of a world class drum studio: superior multi-mic samples of a wide variety of premium drums, full production tools to tweak the sonic qualities of the kit (including envelopes, tuning, insert effects, reverbs, overhead and room mic control), and a full suite of more than 3000 built-in beats and grooves. You'll be able to get up and running quickly and easily, whether you're an experienced drum programmer or an aspiring experimenter.

Addictive Drums can sound extremely realistic, producing true acoustic drums, but it can also be tweaked and manipulated into machine-like kits or weird rhythmic effects. Addictive Drums is unique in its ability to deliver in a wide array of production styles.

Compatible with both Macintosh and Windows platforms (including Intel Macs), Addictive Drums ships in all major plug-in formats (AudioUnit, RTAS, VST). It is fully compatible with every major sequencing host, including Apple Logic, Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, Cakewalk Sonar, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Mackie Tracktion, MOTU Digital Performer and Apple GarageBand.

New features in Addictive Drums v1.5 Adrenaline include:

Plug n Play

Addictive Drums 1.5 Adrenaline is compatible with virtually all E-drum kits on the market. Adrenaline comes with ready made presets for many popular models from Yamaha, Roland and Alesis.

Extreme Realism

E-drumming with Adrenaline is very realistic thanks to a number of included
technologies. We fully support cymbal chokes, foot chicks, CC positional hi-hats (gradually changing from closed to open hi-hat) and positional sensing. Alternating samples also means a series of equally hard hits will always sound slightly different.

Map Window

The new Map Window gives you precise control of MIDI re-mapping. Using MIDI learn functions or dragging and dropping the various stroke types to a virtual keyboard you quickly map your drum set or pad controller. By adjusting velocity curves you can fine tune Addictive Drums to respond perfectly to your kit and playing style.

Live E-Drumming

Adrenaline works great for playing live on stage with e-drums. Thanks to rock solid stability and optimized performance Addictive Drums will load up quickly and never crash in the middle of a gig. Switching presets only takes a few seconds meaning you can quickly go from a heavy rock sound to a soft ballad groove with the click of a button.

Beat Transformer

Go for broke with louder hits and less dynamics in the chorus, remove ghost notes in the bridge or do a verse in half tempo. The new Beat Transformer tool lets you adjust any beat from Addictive Drums extensive library on the fly. Make the beats softer, louder, slower, faster, shorter, longer or less complex. Changes made to the beats are rendered once you drag and drop them into your project. This makes songwriting with Addictive Drums a quick and easy task.
