Anyone found out yet how to make AD saved user kit presets available for use in AD2?
I had quite a few and I'll be pretty mad if they're not transferable.
(Edit: yes, I've emailed AD support but they say they're very busy at the moment (probably with this question being asked a thousand times....)

Try their forum. They have representatives posting frequently (or at least they did a couple years ago). I would be surprised if there wasn't already a stickie on this topic but even if not I'm sure their user base have already gotten some answers and posted them.
 
Cheers.

aaand apparently their forum is down for "maintenance". lol
 
Bad timing but here it is anyway...

uh... scratch that as well because I guess that link will just lead you to their "down" page but there is a facebook link.
 
Wow.
 

There's a little more info in this thread from the other day...

I didn't really rip apart that entire thread so I don't know about importing old presets into AD2 but if it comes down to it you can use AD1 and AD2 in the same project/have them installed side by side.
 
 

Thanks Beepster.
Rummaging about I find they have different files extentions:  .ADPReset and .AD2Preset and renaming them doesn't work so I fear the worst.  Pity.

Yeah, that's a drag but the impression I get is they are a smaller company and AD was their first release so I'm assuming that this release is their jump into the big leagues. Probably a little more future ready than the first and perhaps they'll have some workarounds for this problem once the dust settles.
 
I am really impressed with AD and they were actually my first choice when I was looking for a drum program but then I found out about BFD and wanted the extra routing options. Still I'm using AD in my current project and I can see using it on more stuff in the future.

How do I upgrade to AD2? Is there a discount for X3P  users?

I'm assuming you get AD1 to AD2 upgrade price because X3 came with the full version (I may be wrong). Also apparently if you bought X3 recently (within the upgrade grace period XLN is offering to new AD1 customers) you'll get a free upgrade. See the thread I posted above for Andrew's post... although he does not provide details.
 
Oh and just to buy the upgrade I'm assuming you'd just go through XLN's store thingie via the account you set up when you registered the version that came with X3. Cheers.

How to do it:
Open AD2 interface. Open the file location in Explorer.  Drag and drop the file into AD2.  It should now be loaded and its name showing in the field top left. Click on the 'Save Preset' to save in AD2 format.  It should now also appear in the new Preset Browser.
(Not in the manual).
 
Edit 18th May:  Sorry, it is!  Just stumbled across it on page 33.
As you were.

Good to know... thanks!   I don't have AD2 yet, but I do have a few AD user presets that I'd like to have available when the time comes.
