EZDrummer — No MIDI Soundfonts Necessary?

[Newsoniclight]

This is not a pre-sales question really for I have already ordered but not yet received EZDrummer.  I just want to make sure I understand how it works — before I break the shrink-wrap seal.

It has been quite a while since I have composed music and back then I used a smaller computer with Creative Labs sound-card and sound-fonts.  That is how I made my drum tracks: GM Midi + sound fonts.

I now use Cubase SX-3 with an M-Audio Audiophile card and it has no sound-fonts.  I got EZDrummer because of its hybrid MIDI-sample nature.  That is: it has the flexibility of MIDI but the sounds are actually samples triggered by MIDI, in my case on a PC, .wav files — that are all included in the product. 

So I do not need to get anything else, i.e. sound fonts.
I am ready to go right out of the box.

— Correct or incorrect?

Thanks.

correct: Cubase+EZdrummer will allow you to write tracks in whichever method you prefer (use included patterns, program in ‘piano roll’, or with the addition of a MIDI keyboard play them in).

OK, thanks for reply and clarification on what I thought was the case but just wanted to make 100% sure was the case.  Now I’ll be able to un-shrink-wrap that baby when it comes in and go to town.

Having ordered it at Amazon/Musician’s Friend a couple of days ago for only USD $99 makes this present to myself that much sweeter :o)

NRN.
