130+ Presets
3000+ Midi files for various genres and in different time signatures

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I use this in Logic Pro 9.
Both with a midi keyboard or a Roland TD-6 Electronic Drum Kit.
I have a Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core with 8 GB of ram and a White Macbook with Intel Core 2 Duo Cpu with 4 GB of Ram.
The installation is really easy and the the manual is clear and precise.
Used for a couple of years, without a problem!
OVERALL OPINION
I play and produce various genres.
From electronica to heavy rock, this Virtual instrument cover a lot of ground and in a really good way!
There are also additional ADPaks that let you buy genre specific Drumkits.
These are Retro, Reel Machines, Metal, Funk, Modern Jazz Brushes, Modern Jazz Sticks.
But anyway, even with the original drumkits, you have a huge palette of sounds.
The built in midi drums files are a fantastic option. These are top notch grooves and fills, played by some great drummers and you can buy additional midi files from the XLN website and from sites like GrooveMonkee (already mapped for AD).
You can also filter these by genre and time signature.
And thanks to the new Beat Transformer (from version 1.5 - Adrenaline) you can change and alter these midi files in the plugin window, setting the speed, lenght and velocity intensity.
Both the midi files and presets are organized in a simple and intuitive way.
And I have to admit that these are the best presets ever made for a Virtual Instrument. With a few changes, they will suit your songs perfectly.
This a really funny, simple and most important, really light on the CPU Virtual Instrument. It will give you an almost instant gratification, no matter what genre you are in! A killer plugin, this is sure!!
