Product Description
The Toontrack Kicks & Snares EZX Expansion is a massive collection of drums that zooms in on the two centerpieces in any mix: kicks and snares and is powered by EZDrummer 2 or Superior Drummer 3.
MIX & MATCH MAGIC
Regardless of genre or style, arguably any engineer would agree: the kick and the snare are irrevocably the two biggest focal points of not only the rhythm section but also the entire mix. The Kicks & Snares EZX zooms in on delivering exactly that: kicks and snares. An overwhelming amount of them, we might add – in total 74 multi-sampled and never-before-released instruments produced by engineer Peter Henderson and drummer Chris Whitten in eight different top studios. Factoring in the wide range of alternative tunings and recorded configurations, you’ll have around 130 unique kick and snare voices at your disposal. What differentiates this EZX even more from earlier ones is that each kick and snare position has four extra channels featuring individually processed versions: ‘Sub,’ ‘Skin Lo,’ ‘Skin Hi’ and ‘Club/Stick.’ This will enable you to infinitely tweak and find your personal blends for each instrument.
In addition, the Kicks & Snares EZX comes with close to 100 unique kit presets covering anything from traditional/organic mixes to those involving elaborate sound design. Also, one set of toms, two crashes, one ride and one set of hi-hats are included for easy kit construction.
Combined, this all makes this EZX a veritable monster of sound for broad use in anything from custom kit creation and sound replacement to acoustic/organic, modern pop, hip-hop, ambient and electronic. EZdrummer 2 owner? Welcome to a mind-blowing toolbox of mix-ready kits and instruments. Superior Drummer 3 user? Revel in a near infinite palette of options that opens up for limitless sound design.
THE STUDIOS
The raw content for the Kicks & Snares EZX was recorded over a long period of time in eight different top studios in Australia and the UK.
THE MIDI
The Kicks & Snares EZX comes with a basic collection of backbeat-style grooves that enables you to get a beat going and get the proper feel for the sounds right away. As always, any groove can be infinitely customized using the ‘Edit Play Style’ feature in either EZdrummer 2 or Superior Drummer 3.
THE PRESETS
