Dear, Dear Toontrack Product development managers/ Norman Garschke, it seems I’m not the only one crying out for help here! As a loyal customer for over 10 yrs now, I’ve been sending support requests on this matter for years, but it always seems to fall on deaf ears, or the standard ” we can’t comment on what’s in the pipeline etc…

Then when the Reggae pack finally came out, it was such a disappointment! What’s the point of putting octobans on there, when there are no midi grooves to accompany it? Same issue with the Hitmaker Copeland inspired kit…

If any one can nail the  Tony Allen inspired groove, surely Norman’s the MAN!

We need more straight ahead 4/4 grooves, ‘coz writing an afro-pop song on 12/8 ain’t easy!

Also on the percussion side, more midi Salsa & Hi-Life kinda midi grooves. Timbale rolls, like Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, and reggae drumming like Sly Dunbar & other modern reggae drummers!

And PLEASE, when we’re paying for these drum packs, especially for EZ Drummer, can we have more colour! Everytime I change kits, I always have to look at the same generic kit, through on your “making of” videos, we see the different kits in all their glorious colour of pink blue sparkle etc.

Even worse when you load EZ Kits in SD3!!

Again, I love your products, but more often have to look at 3rd party offering, and try to make them work in SD3, which is SUCH a hustle!

We look forward to what Toontrack have install in 2025 on the “ethnic side”.

I hope I get a reply on some of the issues raised here!

Cheers. Derek.
