Follow the sections below to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li><a href=\"#Navigate-the-software\"><strong>Navigate the software<\/strong><\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#How-to-enable-multi-out-in-your-DAW\"><strong>How to enable multi-out in your DAW<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Create-a-custom-drum-kit\"><strong>Create a custom drum kit<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Working-with-MIDI\"><strong>Working with MIDI<\/strong><\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#MIDI-mapping\"><strong>MIDI mapping<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><strong style=\"color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"#MIDI-drum-loops\">MIDI drum loops<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Navigate-the-software\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft noUnderline customh2 swheader\">Navigate the software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you use Addictive Drums 2 as a standalone instrument or as a virtual instrument plug-in inside your DAW, the layout (GUI) of the software remains the same. XLN Audio has made navigation easy, meaning you have more time creating and less time having to dive through menus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"Gallery-and-Explore\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">Gallery and Explore<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Two ways to view and edit kits are via Gallery or Explore. When you select a kit in the Gallery view, it will then take you to the Explore view, which allows you to preview any loops associated with the kit. You can also select a kit in the Explore view by clicking the <strong>Left <\/strong>and <strong>Right <\/strong>arrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Addictive Drum 2 kits you have not purchased will be listed as <em>Preview<\/em>. You can select and preview the kits but will <strong>not<\/strong> be able to edit them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Addictive Drums 2 Spotlight: Find Your Sound\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mIAVyx8qbbc?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Addictive Drums 2 Spotlight: Find Your Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"Kit\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">Kit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff5c7\"><strong>IMPORTANT: <\/strong>You currently cannot import custom samples in Addictive Drums 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in the Kit window, you can select, add, or remove samples, mute and solo them, and adjust the input levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Change the sample by clicking the sample name (e.g., 14&#215;5 Pearl Reference) or using the <strong>Up <\/strong>and <strong>Down<\/strong> arrows located on the left of the sample.<ul><li>Click the <strong>L <\/strong>button to the left of the sample name to view an illustrated version of the drum or cymbal and show all available samples for that slot.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Click the <strong>E<\/strong> button to the right of the sample name to enter the <em>Edit <\/em>window.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"Edit\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">Edit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Edit window is self-explanatory. The top half is dedicated to the raw sound characteristics, such as the pitch, response, and volume envelope. The middle area is specifically made for the sample&#8217;s &#8216;mixing&#8217; characteristics like the mic placement, EQ compressor, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The Main pitch affects the sample&#8217;s pitch, and the Offset pitch blends the pitch of the overhead and room channels. Using these in tandem helps give you an excellent, layered sound.<\/li><li>The Tone Designer (Kick and Snare only) alters the length of the frequency response.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"FX\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">FX<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like the <em>Edit <\/em>window, the FX window is straightforward. This is where you will change the reverb and decay characteristics of the sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Addictive Drums 2 Spotlight: Tweak Your Sound\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oGnW5ka3bTg?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Addictive Drums 2 Spotlight: Tweak Your Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"How-to-enable-multi-out-in-your-DAW\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader darkBlueHeader alignLeft underline customh3 swheader\">How to enable multi-out in your DAW<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can assign drums to separate tracks when you use Addictive Drums 2 inside a DAW.
