[Workaround] Addictive Drums MIDI Library default location

Howdy
 
Can anyone tell me where the above is? I had a look this morning but can't see it in the vst folder or in the XLN folder. It must be somewhere because it's all working perfectly.
 
Cheers

I could be wrong, but I suspect that XLN uses a proprietary file scheme to mask the actual midi files in the same way that they do the samples.  I have not found them, but I gave up quickly.  XLN seems pretty adamant about securing their intellectual property

Thanks man. That's kinda what I was thinking would be the case.

Thanks.  I had no idea that was there.  I would have just exported the midi file from sonar but this is more direct

I realize this thread is being resurrected from the dead, but I thought it would be good to capture this info just in case someone else happens to end up here:  The folder(s) where AD2 stores the MIDI packs is C:\ProgramData\XLN Audio\Addictive Drums 2\Sound Data, underneath which are folders for each of the MIDI packs, which have files with an ".xpak" extension.  Not sure how to process those files to extract the information, but it is possible to drag and drop the individual MIDI patches from the AD2 Beats Browser to a folder in Windows Explorer, and then import the folder into, say, EZPlayer.  Tedious at best, especially if you downloaded lots of MIDI packs, but it's the only workaround I have found so far.  I finally decided it was time to put EZPlayer to work as a MIDI repository and collect all the MIDI files lurking in my system.
