Reel Machines (ADpak)
Reel Machines is a collection of four mint-condition drum machines and a Simmons electronic drum kit from the eighties. All instruments were recorded on analog tape using some of the finest recording gear in the world. Each kit also includes actual plate reverb and real room ambience you can blend in for maximum sonic possibilities.
Reel Machines is a collection of the most iconic electronic drum sounds of the 80s. Unlike many sample libraries that simply record a machine’s output, we recorded the instruments through a variety of analog tape machines for added warmth and punch. To make it even more special, each instrument includes a real room ambience as well as vintage plate reverb that you can blend in to fit your needs.
This kit comes with tons of presets designed by top sound designers. Each kit includes sounds ranging from classic and super-clean to modern and heavily processed. It’s also possible to tweak any of the presets to fit your exact needs—the Addictive Drums 2 engine makes it easy. Finally, if you need great drum machine rhythms, we have created the Reel Machines Beats MIDIpak to help you find your inspiration.
Funk (ADpak)
The Funk ADpak is based on a masterpiece: the Pearl Reference drum kit. XLN Audio recorded it with absolute fidelity in a top studio and had top sound engineers craft the funkiest presets you’ve ever heard. Craft your own sounds or use any of the 30+ production-ready presets to get to work instantly.
The Pearl Reference Series drum kit is a masterpiece. To perfect the sound, Pearl engineered and designed each drum individually. Depending on size and depth, each drum has its own unique thickness and combination of wood types for the ultimate sound and resonance. The result is one of the best sounding drum kits on the market and the choice for many world-renowned drummers including Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Dennis Chambers (Santana).
Get instant funk action from over 30 mix-ready presets designed by professional studio engineers. These presets give you instant access to a variety of sounds ranging from clean and tight, to roomy and natural, and even some more heavily processed sounds. You can use these presets as-is or easily edit them to fit your needs. If you need inspiration, XLN Audio’s collection of Funk-based MIDIpaks have tons of professionally played beats you can use in your own music.
Reel Machines Beats (MIDIpak)
Contains tons of programmed beats for classic drum machines. A must-have for owners of Reel Machines!
Reel Machines Beats is the perfect companion for owners of the Reel Machines ADpak. It contains tons of expertly programmed beats that make drum machines come to life. Works well with acoustic kits for when you need more robotic-sounding drumming!
Funk’d Up (MIDIpak)
If you’re looking for inspired and slightly unconventional funk-fusion drumming (think Jamiroquai or Prince), this is just what the doctor ordered.
The Funk’d Up MIDI Pak takes you on a fantastic voyage with unconventional, funk-fusion beats in the style of Jamiroquai, Prince and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Unlike typical funk, this drumming is a bit more musically complex (and harder to play!) Works well with any of the Addictive Drums kits.
The Addictive Drums 2: Breaks & Beats Collection is available to PC and Mac users (VST, AU, AAX and standalone).
