I have a few from Native Instruments “Cuba” but I would love to have some Drumset/Percussion MIDI files designed for TT Latin percussion set and for regular set drums

+1, I went looking, knowing Toontrack had some given the Latin Percussion EZX. Nope! I purchased LP, mostly for the grooves, but I can never have enough drum/percussion sounds.

Have you linked these to SD3 or EZDrummer (not sure if EZD has this feature)? I would love to get these in SD3 to play with LP & Orchestral Percussion II.

…And, it would be cool if they could do some behind the scenes mapping for the LP grooves to like instruments in Orchestral Percussion II. Bongos, Congas, shakers… I know all the articulations are not the same, but some help would be nice.

A MIDI pack for Orch Perc I & II would be nice as well.

I have not done that. Sounds interesting. I am specifically looking for drum kit grooves for Latin and salsa grooves. Afro-Cuban, Bossa, Samba, Merengue, Cha Cha, Foxtrot. I can’t be the only person looking for these.

You mention Native Instruments. Do you have the Abbey Roads series? I’m almost certain there are some Latin grooves in there.

Do you mean the Abbey Road Drum Kit? if so, yes I do. I have never used it because I have Superior 2 and 3. Plus several of the SDX and EZX.

Are there any good Latin grooves in the Abbey Road Kit?

Yes. I never used them either other than linking the grooves. I remember seeing some Latin grooves in the Vintage folder though I can’t say how good they were.

Section 4.3, page 49 of the manual. Groove Tab / Menu / Folder / Add Linked Folder.

Okay,

I listened to the grooves provided by NI. They aren’t bad. They are mainly 1 measure grooves. Once I linked them to SD3, I had to find which drum in SD matched the corresponding drum in NI. Once I did that, the grooves just didn’t translate very well. Not impressed. I need to find something tho, I have a need for several of the Latin grooves included with NI. Come on ToonTrack. Please consider this.

I just found a couple companies that have some very good Latin MIDI grooves. They are formatted for SD3 as well as several others.

They are:

Odd Grooves and Platinum Samples. I listened to both of them. I bought the Odd Groove Latin set. Really well played. Not Quantized in either companies Libraries.

If you didn’t, apply the NI mapping; Click on the arrow on the right of the linked folder, go to MIDI In / Native Instruments and click Abbey Road Series. That will map the kit pieces for you. It should match perfectly.

I’ll check them out for some other stuff. The LP EZX is holding me off for now. The Latin grooves I need are more for percussion.
