Addictive Drums - Percussion instruments?

I have an AD2 kit setup the way I want it except I am looking for some triangles, chimes, or something similar. Can't find anything in my kit pieces that would seem to work.
 
Anyone here know if AD has any triangles or chimes or if they could be created? I hate to pull in another drum vsti just to get those percussion elements...
 
Regards,
Rick

AD2 doesn't come with orchestral percussion. I'm sure you are aware of higher end and pricey instruments, so it might be worth mentioning, that TTS-1 and Roland GS have some passable sounds and also SD3 SmartLoops kits have some better percussion sounds including triangles.

Soundwise

Triangles are used in many types of music from Cajun to Funk.

When XLN did Session Percussion, they wanted to make a drum kit tryp set up, but with Latin Percussion, instead of just providing Latin drums. I get their idea. and I like the idea too, but I don;t see why they couldn't have made use of all those flexi slots that are empty fro a range of other Latin percussion instruments.

Rick I know you were looking for something within AD2, but seeing you/we don't have much if choice...take a peek at Brio Percussion from Indiginus. Very good stuff at a good price.

That's cool to know Mesh. I'm really trying to go minimal on my set up, I'm down to 7 synths, and the only 2 sample based are for XLN, but Sample Modelling Brass is mmy next purchase, which will draw me into the world of Kontact.

When I got my EMU6400 Ultra in the late 90's I stopped making music, I was stiffeled by it, I gotto know it really well, but never finished anything. Kind of been an on going story since. When I had 2 bass stations, a Fab383, Quadrasynth, and drumstations, and a range of fx, I was really creative.
 
Recently I've stripped down to 7 synths. My next will be Kontact Player for Sample Modelling Brass, and the fact that you have limitations on that suits me to the ground.
 
I just checked and Brio need full Kontact, so as cool as it looks, I think I'll stick to my other plan. Having bought a triangle recently, I think I'll just buy some shakers, cabasas and add the human feel the human way.
 
I've 5 credits with XLN for Kitpeices and have little interest in any of the ten available
Brio does look cool though. Just have to get back to nagging XLN.

As I'd need to get Kontact Player for Sample Modelling Brass, it comes with a free library. I think I'd be pretty stupid to fork out 400 euros without testing Kontact player first. That may be the start of my slippery slope. Brass is my priority and for a longtime been the end of my GAS, and I just won't be able to afford Kontact for the foreseeable future, by that I mean throughout 2017. I've got pretty much all the sounds I want, it's literally just simple percussion I want. I can probably find that in Rapture Pro, or just buy the actual percussion instruments themselves and play for real.
 
Plus I can take real percussion into the classroom

Reading into Sample Modelling's Brass, one criticism was that it wasn't suited to orchestral set ups, unless you were going for the Gil Evans, Miles sound.  Which funnily enough is the way I'd lean (and Jaga Jazzist more modern side). I'm not someone who has ever been interested in orchestral music really.I'd rather one good Tuba, than banks of different type. Being the WX5 is my main midi device, I'm suited to Sample modelling set up. The brass collection would fit my real sax and flutes really well.
 
After that I'm not really after other instruments sounds. The 400 Euros from Sample modelling gives me Tuba, French horn (which is great with flute), Bass and tenor trombone, trumpets, cornets and flugal. I've been pondering this collection for a few years now. I do like a bass clarinet, which uses their swam Engine, and seems to sounds really nice.
 
I'm not sure exotic instruments is what I'm after, I could pick up the African drums that are kitpeices with XLN, but they don't interest me tonally, and having their Session Percussion give me the less exotic and more common percussion as it is.
