Addictive Drums 2 offers a variety of expansion drum kits that have have now all been made NKS compatible. Because there is such a range of kits available you can choose below which kits you need NKS compatibility for.

All NKS libraries come complete with a detailed controller map to allow adjustment of the different elements in the kit along with sound previews of each kit. Library artwork and database files are all included in the free Core library download which you can download and test out before purchasing any expansions. 

Each kit contains 2 preset banks for the default AD2 midi mapping and also GM midi mapping. Banks are labelled with these different mappings and you can easily remove one of the maps if you never plan to use it.

Disclaimer

This NKS library is created with no affiliation to Native Instruments or the VST vendor. I am not paid, or even supported by Native Instruments or the vendors. Downloading and usage of this library is at the users own risk. Payments are non refundable. There is no support or guarantee offered that these will suit your own application which is why a free version is offered to test with. If you are satisfied with the free version then the paid version offers the same features and includes all factory presets. There is no guarantee that future versions of the Komplete/Maschine software will support these preset files or the current features.

Users are not authorised to share or distribute the files with anyone else without the consent of Freelance SoundLabs. A lot of work goes into managing this project, hosting the files and writing documentation and I am also an active forum member helping out users. Please do the right thing; the cost is only a few beers to help me out.
