Addictive Drums MIDI files
When I started using AD with X3 there was a way to dl the MIDI directly from the XLN website. I sometime play around with these in Reason's Kong but I can't for the life of me remember how to do it. Maybe XLN no longer allow it? I've got new MIDIPaks from my upgrade to SPlat and would like to have these stored alongside my older ones.
Any ideas anyone?

I'm not sure how to get it from the XLN site, but you can check within the AD Installer's "Advanced Options" (not sure of the exact phrase) tab and see the file path to where the MIDI files are stored on your HD.
Once you find the path, you can just drag/copy/paste them to where you want it.

Mesh, are you saying this because you have done it or because you should be able to do it? I tried to get to the midi files in AD1 and was not able to so I contacted XLN and they sent a link so I could download them and put them in EZ Player Pro. I am still not finding them in AD2. They have them hid somewhere. I can get to the External MIDI file, the ones I imported but that is all. I don't know why they don't make them available. I imported some of them into EZ Player(one at a time) and they work fine with other drums. I contacted them to get the ones I got with Platinum and the guy I talked to acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. I would like to know if anyone has found a way to get them.

Sorry BD, I'm not at my DAW right now and only going from short term memory......I've imported my EZ drummer midi files into AD2 (I believe it's in the External Midi file folder as you've said) and of course, "assumed" it could be done visa versa. I'm on my way to sit in the donkey's corner and put on my dunce cap.

Back to the OP. IIRC XLN MIDI for AD2 is now in proprietary format. But, I've been wrong before.

Come out of the corner Mesh, I didn't mean anything by what I said. Wish I would have said it better. The only way I have been able to get them into EZ Player is import one at a time, which took forever cuz you have to name each one. They work but I can't get them out of the AD2 program. I would have bought more from them but they hide them in the program.

The sound files are easy to find, but are in .xpak files. I spent some time looking for the beat (MIDI) files, and struck out. Even if I had found them, each MIDI pack would have be in a single file. Not what you want or need.

It would be very time consuming but you can open AD2 in Sonar and drag the midi files to a track and then save it as a midi file in Sonar. You would have to have a drum map for AD2 for them to make any sense if you're using general midi maps in Sonar.

If you just want the MIDI, and you'll map it to whichever drum rompler you're using later, a simple way is run the stand-alone version of AD2, find a MIDI Beat that you like, and drag it into a MIDI editor like MidiYodi (shareware; $13 to buy). http://www.canato.se/midiyodi/

Mesh quoting Andrew Lloyd Webber! That pretty much gets me to the end of what's believable. You can drag XLN midi files into EZ Player Pro one at a time and then name and save them. EZ Player has maps for Addictive Drums(and pretty much everything else) in it so it works great once you get it done but lots of time involved.

When AD2 came out they changed the installation scheme and the user download area. The raw midi files are no longer there. The last time I downloaded midi files from XLN was on 2/12/12. They're pretty cool, have you tried contacting them?

Thanks for the responses guys. I've been away for a few days so this is the first chance I've had to look back here. I think bluzdog may have nailed it. I'll give mesh's idea a go over the weekend and if I have no luck, I'll try contacting XLN. It's no biggie though.
Cheers
