Supported Applications and Workflow Integration
In mainstream DAWs that support AAX/AU/VST3 (such as common sequencing and recording software), add an instrument track, load Addictive Drums 2, select the United Pop ADpak kit and presets, then play or edit MIDI. You can drag grooves from AD2's browser into the DAW timeline and enable multi-output for stem mixing. If using an AI assistant to generate drum MIDI, importing the MIDI clips into your DAW or triggering AD2 directly also lets you quickly create arrangement sketches.
