I'm glad to see some love being given to AD2.  Even though it's fairly old, I think it still sounds great.  For a while I thought it was headed to the abandonware graveyard.  I'm glad to see I was wrong.

Not sure you are aware, but there was also an update several months ago.

Frankly, to me the new update does not sound interesting at all!

And the last update mentioned above brought only trouble for me, because on my test laptop I could not see the whole plugin interface anymore (too large) and also the new flat view is not as eye-friendly IMHO!

I want to have the same version on my computers. But thanks to the very good customer service I could reset the last update on my test laptop (another big disadvantage of many installation managers: you cannot downgrade yourself)! So I am glad to skip both of these updates without regret! There is really nothing I am missing!

Good to know that XLN customer service was able to tell you how to revert to the older AD2.  I only needed to contact them twice over the years and found they were very helpful in both those instances.

The arrow key navigation is fantastic!

The last Updates of ADdrums are very impressive and free.

Maybe it's an acoustic mirage, but imo the cymbals sound significantly better after the penultimate, big update. The sound optimizations and workflow of AD Drums 2 give me hope that the gap to SD Drums can be closed with a version upgrade to 3..

 

Thanks XLN
