I'm glad you got it OlPal!!

For a free download I guess this might be called a no brainer but as for the different presets I'm not so sure.
I think they're just using one kit and then using the on board effects to get their different styles which is fine in theory and something addictive drums does brilliantly considering it's 2GB library but the on board effects are poor IMO so I'd
be more inclined to use other effects.A lot of the presets I just listened to sounded awful and plastic to my ears.
 
The snare has a terrible ring that's almost like a droning noise as it just doesn't tail off like it should.I know it's hard to argue with free and I feel mean to criticise it but it's probably not going to get another airing on my DAW.
The mixer is hmmm.... interesting but I'd sooner just route all tracks to sonar and do it all in there as it's only slightly better than using kontakts mixer. I do feel quite spoilt having BFD2 mixer and effects whenever I use other mixers

I don't use midi loops except to audition kits quickly but some people will want them and they sound ok.
Do like the fact that they can be mapped for other drums vsti's so it's not all bad

Another thing, changing the mics may seem great but a bad sounding kit will sound bad regardless of the mics you use and changing them for me seems to make very little difference.

Played with it with electronic drumset, triggers very well, I like the processing presets to cover a pretty large base of sound. The only problem I feel is I can't use Drum Maps with it, seems to be related to Kontakt.

Had the same problems as OlPal had. Finally got it. I can see where it may have it's uses. I'm not happy that you can't change mics in Kontakt VST mode. It works great in standalone. Seems you can only trigger the existing factory kit by midi. I can't access the beats, etc. All I get in VST mode is the kit page and nothing else. Is it just me or anyone else seeing this.
BTW, the snare is quite nice on some settings. Overall, in standalone it's a pretty good useable kit. VST not so good.

I actually have a problem of latency as VST, tried to fiddle a bit with the multicore parameter but I think it's fully related to Kontakt.
You can definitely change mics in VST, just double click when in drum view

Sid,

There are buttons that switch the view on the right hand side of the interface, just below the top.  Just press "Beats" to get to the beat folders, "Drums" to get to the Drums page, "Mix" to get to the mixer, etc....as was stated, you have to double click the mic to get it to change mics....

For free..this is a  nice piece of kit...

Peace!

Those buttons work for me in standalone but not VST. That's the problem. I will try again later. I have sessions today and have to get to work. If I can resolve it I will post later. Thanks!

Viola! I got it working! Just checked it and still no luck. Then I clicked on the little gear icon next to the internet button on the VST DrumMicA in X2. I chose the open folder and it went to the library folders. Opened and checked all those folders, closed the window which took me back to Sonar with the Kontakt window still open and VIOLA! Now it works just as good as the standalone! Don't know what happened. Just glad it did! LOL! Well, off to work.
