I’m new to EZD3 (I only had it for just over a week), but it seems to be missing something that I think would be essential (or very useful) for many folks’ workflow.

For example, I am working on a project that is 132BPM.

I would like to see all the grooves that match (or are close to) 132BPM, so I input 132 in the search engine. If there are no matches for 132, it says NO MATCHES FOUND or will show only the grooves that match exactly 132BPM.

I think Toontrack should offer a RANGE of results, perhaps with a button allowing a user to specify, for example, 10% or 20% within the requested BPM range.

By allowing a range of results, I will get a more varied choice of grooves that I can try in my project.

Hi Michael, that is a great suggestion.

You could also sort your grooves after the tempo, just click “tempo” at the top of the grooves window. Then you can scroll through grooves that are close to 132 for example.

Hi Rickard,

Can you be more specific as I cannot accomplish what you are suggesting?

When Grooves are selected there is the word TEMPO at the top left of the screen (and it says ORIGINAL to the right of it).

So first I input 132 in the SEARCH and I get results that ALL match 132. But when I click on the word TEMPO I get no further results – I am still only shown all the 132 BPM results. Actually you cannot even click on the word TEMPO… so I tried clicking on ORIGINAL and 1X and 1/2X, but I get no further results from doing any of that.

I would love to see “grooves that are close to 132” as you indicate, so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!!

Hi,

what Rickard means is that you can sort the result list by Tempo. E.g. I Filter search for a Pop/Rock, Standard, Swing groove with Hi-Hat Closed as Power Hand.
Then I click the ‘Tempo’ Header in the result list which sorts by Tempo incrementally or the other way around, depending on how many times you click the header.

BR,
John

Thanks for that suggestion John, but that was not exactly what I was looking for. In your solution, you select a groove and then look at its various tempos.

I want to see a choice of grooves related to the tempo I input. Ideally, Toontrack will implement a BPM search range in a future update, but for now, I type in 132, see what is offered, then type 131, then 130, etc. until I have searched a few BPM on either side of my project tempo.
