On top of that the EQ now features real-time visual feedback across all frequencies making it easier than ever to fine-tune your sound with clarity and precision. Best of all this update is fully backwards compatible so all your previous presets tweaks and settings will work seamlessly and it supports every Addictive Drums 2 expansion including ADpaks MIDIpaks and Kitpiece paks. Modern Jazz Brushes Immaculate brush sounds The Modern Jazz Brushes ADpak gives an entirely different flavour to the conventional stick drumming tones. More subtle with less attack and punch the Brushes ADpak will sit behind your instruments providing a solid and steady beat for you to explore melodic compositions over the top. Not aiming to be hard-hitting or the centre of attention you can create smooth rolls and fills that accent the musicality of your performance rather than take centre stage. In order to produce the classy and sophisticated jazz sounds youve come to know and love the Brushes ADpak has been tuned slightly higher than a standard rock kit ensuring that every shell has a perfect fundamental note that can become a melodic instrument in itself. Featuring a beautifully vintage Premier Gen-X drum set you can achieve the classy and polished sound of a world-class jazz drummer in your mixes giving new life to your songs. A selection of Meinl Pasite and Sabian cymbals are used and have again been played with brushes to ensure a delicate touch that gives a smooth and balanced sound. The RealSweep system has been purpose-designed for this ADpak allowing you to make accents in the sweeps without interrupting the sweep motion. This means you wont hear any sample overlaying giving your performance a smooth and seamless sound with incredibly realistic brush sweeps. Modern Jazz Sticks Contemporary Jazz The fabled classic and vintage jazz sound can now take centre-stage in your mixes. A vintage Premier Gen-X drum kit has been tuned to perfection with immense attention to detail that can inject personality and sophistication to your tracks. Tuned slightly higher than conventional rock and roll drum kits the Modern Jazz Sticks ADpaks allows every note to resonate through in a pristine and controlled way to become a melodic instrument in itself. A selection of Meinl Pasite and Sabian cymbals have been chosen for their smooth and silky character that can add excitement to your music without sounding harsh or abrasive making it the perfect combination with the vintage Premier X-Gen kit.
