Got it...it's AWESOME...just the Fairfax demo sounds GREAT!!!

Screenshots coming!

So what's different about it cclarry?
 
From what I've read it's more and update than an a new build and from the screen shots it looks much the same.
They're being very quiet on new features and I'm surprised they've not released any video's and such they way EZdrummer did. They seem to be missing a trick in wetting peoples appetite.
So do the alder kits sound the same or is it just the new kits you think are awesome ?
 
I'm intrigued now

Not a lot different...but the sounds of the Fairfax are nice...a little more streamlined.
 

I switched to the Fairfax Vol Selections and the rest of the kit pieces showed up...




The pieces that are not included in the Demo say "No License"

I was hoping there might be a way to edit the actual groove, timing/kit piece, within AD2 but I have not found it yet.
Looks like the fairfax is the only thing that allows any mods but there are several fixed demos of my other ADPaks.

So which step made it availible? I clearly just stumbled into it.

Go to register my product in the installer...
It will have a white section in the upper right hand corner with "Fairfax Demo"
 
Select that and then re-run the installer.  

One AWESOME thing is that AD 1 still works...

It's funny, the drum grid looks just like BFD2 now
 
And I believe they are not locked in now either ?

Just listening the to the grooves and going through the presets these sound good.

Thanks for the screen shots and early testing. Does it look like you can assign a ride or a cymbal to Flexi1 or Flexi2? I've wanted a way to focus less on the overheads for those and have them available for individual mixing like the other main kit pieces. Just wondering.

Dammit, you guys have got me interested in AD now. I've not been all that happy w/ the sound of EZ/SD recently because I can't seem to find anything that sounds natural to my ear - everything sounds as though it's been printed to tape through some kind of BBE Sonic Maximizer and for the stuff I'm working on, that just doesn't cut it.
 
If only BFD wasn't that expensive...
 
But now I'm wondering if AD could allow me to access less mix-ready sounds... I've had good luck with their virtual piano, it's become my go to and one of the very few 3rd party plugs I can't imagine myself w/o.
