The v2.5 update gives all users of Addictive Drums 2 plenty of workflow improvements and several brand new features:

A brand new look: Addictive Drums 2 now has a new stunning, sleek design. It's the Addictive Drums 2 you know and love, but more visually appealing. The new look helps keep you focused on what's really important: your music.

New "Trig Gate" effect: The new Trig Gate lets you mangle your drum sound and still get perfect gate action on every drum hit. No need to dial in threshold settings - the gate is perfectly triggered by the internal midi drum notes.

New compressor "Boost" mode: Make your drums hit harder with the click of a button. The new “Boostˮ mode adds a new level of thump and attack to your beats, fueled by an XLN-approved multiband compression tailored for drums.

Even better EQ: The EQ now has clear real-time visual feedback of the signal across all frequencies. All settings are clearly visible for easier and more precise adjustments.

Also for people wanting to move the content over to another drive:

Install Addictive Drums 2 as usual.
Start the standalone application so you know everything works.

Then follow these steps to move the installation:

1. Locate the "Sound Data" folder:
Mac:
/Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/Sound Data

Windows:
C:\ProgramData\XLN Audio\Addictive Drums 2\Sound Data

2. Move the "Sound Data" folder to the desired new location.
3. Create a simple .txt file called "config.txt" in the "App" folder:
Mac:
/Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/App

Windows:
C:\ProgramData\XLN Audio\Addictive Drums 2\App

4. Open the text file and write "sound," (don't miss the comma!) and then the desired location for your Sound Data folder
Mac:
sound,/ExternalDrive/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/Sound Data/

Windows: (Note: no slash after comma)
sound,ExternalDrive/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/Sound Data/

Copy over the Sound Data onto your ExternalDrive
Save the file and start AD

I can confirm this works on macOS

Doesn't work for me on Mac Mini M4 Pro and Cubase 14.
Standalone App keeps crashig after copying Sound Data folder to external SDD and placing config.txt as descripted.
Creating symbolic link to external SSD finally worked.

It worked for me, Mac M1 Sequoia 15.2 it took a looooong time to verify and then on my Mac the sign appeared that it cannot be installed for security reasons, I went to system settings/privacy and security and there I accepted by pressing "open any way" it took more time but I finally installed it and it works perfectly!

Thank you very much HCiSO HoMeCracKeR, it is a long-awaited plugin for Mac users!

Installed and works perfectly here. Quality work as aways from HCiSO.

Had issues installing on Catalina 10.15.7..Logic Pro 10.6.3.. Here is the fix.. Thanks to the detailed instructions from @fruityloper..

Install Addictive Drums 2 as usual.
Start the standalone application so you know everything works.

If the Addictive drums plugin doesn't show up in your DAW (Logic in my case) then Co-design the the following in Terminal:

sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Addictive Drums 2.component
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Addictive Drums 2.vst
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Addictive Drums 2.vst3

Your DAW will validate the plugin. If you still don't see it, go to your DAW's plugin manager search for Addictive Drums. It might show up as crashed validation. Select it and hit Reset and Rescan selection. The plugin validation should be done. It will show up after you restart your DAW.

Then follow these steps to move the Sound data to your desired location (SSD HD in my case because the library is HUGE and hogs up a lot of space on the main HDD and CPU):

1. Locate the "Sound Data" folder:
Mac:
/Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/Sound Data

Windows:
C:\ProgramData\XLN Audio\Addictive Drums 2\Sound Data

2. Move the "Sound Data" folder to the desired new location.
3. Create a simple .txt file called "config.txt" in the "App" folder:
Mac:
/Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/App

Windows:
C:\ProgramData\XLN Audio\Addictive Drums 2\App

4. Open the text file and write "sound," (don't miss the comma!) and then the desired location for your Sound Data folder
Mac:
sound,/ExternalDrive/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/Sound Data/

Windows: (Note: no slash after comma)
sound,ExternalDrive/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/Sound Data/

Copy over the Sound Data onto your ExternalDrive
Save the file and start AD

I can confirm this works on macOS ! Thanks @fruitylooper and Team HCiSO

I've followed these instructions, however, AD wont open whenever I delete the library from /Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2.

I'm not allowed to edit the "config.txt" document within /Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/App. I've tried to edit the file on my desktop and then copy it to /Library/Application Support/XLN Audio/Addictive Drums 2/App which works but I still can't save it there. It simply says that I dont have any permission. Do you think the issue is due me not being able to save it here or is there another explanation?

@ Biggie12, Question my friend do you get all the complete kits after installation? Because I only get three kits and the rest says no license. Please advised on this, thank you.
  Member 25.11.2015 3 66

i get all the kits.. not sure why you get three kits only.. try to uninstall and do a clean install..
  Member 21.08.2020 49

When downloading all the 11 individual parts, what do you do with them all for it to work? Put them in a folder and extract all at once with Keka or what?

Not used to doing multiple parts, let me know!
  Member 25.11.2015 3 66

After downloading all the parts, click on .part01 and choose your archiving app like keka or unarchiver to extract the contents into a folder of your choice or the desktop.
  Member 28.03.2019 18 273

If you have enough disk space, you can duplicate them first...
Put them in a folder and open the first one, i'm using The Unarchiver 4.2.4

Thanks so much. Works perfectly - had purchased the update but lost the additional kits and just installed straight over the top no bother.
As per instructions above used the installer app directly to bypass verification issues.
