NEW FEATURES IN VERSION 2.5.5
Since Virtual Drumline 2.5 was first released, it has become a staple for composers and arrangers everywhere. This 2.5.5 update features a completely reformatted library designed specifically for Kontakt 4 or greater, providing faster load times, improved memory management, and increased polyphony performance. We're also including 13 new instruments, improved/updated documentation, and numerous bug fixes. Also, existing VDL 2.5 users can now do a 'Fresh Install' of VDL without needing to run other outdated installers.

New instruments added:

• Bassline 10-Drums (Auto RL) (MW KS)
• Bassline 10-Drums Manual (MW KS)
• 4 Snare Drums (Auto RL)
• 4 Snare Drums Manual
• 2 Concert Bass Drums
• Doumbek
• Almglocken
• Bowed Crotales
• Piccolo Snare
• Rope Drum
• Tambourine Orch Bright
• Tambourine Orch Dark
• SusCyms All (MW)
• Concert Toms now allow you to play on the rims of the drums (sticks and mallets) as well as performing press rolls (sticks only).

New features:

• Library format has been updated to Kontakt 4 (or greater) to make full use of faster load times, better memory management, and increased polyphony performance.
• More convenient installation. Registered users of VDL 2.5 may now choose to do a fresh install from the 2.5.5 library updater which bypasses the need to download outdated library installers. New installation method simply requires dragging the library to your computer, then launching Kontakt, and adding the library to it using its simple “Add Library” feature.
• Timpani rolls now perform with more natural roll speed fluctuations from pitch to pitch.
• Enhanced control over pitch bend in timpani instruments. Each timpani instrument is now capable of bending pitch up to a perfect fourth (up or down) from the root pitch via the standard pitch wheel.
• The Drumset Manual (KS) and Drumset AutoRL (KS) instruments now allow the closed hi hat sounds to gradually open and close by using the mod-wheel. This mimics the functionality of the Hi Hat (MW) instrument and gives a much finer control over the detailing of hi hat nuance.
• Cymbal Line All (MW) instrument now has a mod-wheel monitor field so you can monitor which size cymbals are currently active.
• Updated/Improved documentation. VDL 2.5 User Guide now contains all keymaps for instruments added in previous library updates (including 2.5.5) as well as missing keymaps from the initial 2.5 release.
• Documentation is available by clicking the “Info” button in the VDL library browser pane. This includes the full VDL User Guide, VDL Release Notes, Getting Started Guide, and License Agreement. Helpful web links are also available from this button as well as a “Library Version” checker.
• Dozens of smaller bug fixes.
