EZX Latin Percussion Question

[Tony]

Hi all! This is my 1st post, please bear with me.
Question- I just recently bought the Latin Percussion EZX, and was listening to all the Grooves. When I cam to the Timbales, I discovered it is just stick sounds (being played on side of timbale I imagine). Is this right? Are there no beats with the timbale heads being played? And the timbale samples are so good too! What’s up with this?
Verification appreciated.

Most, if not all of the Timbales ‘Fills’ contain ‘skin’ hits and not ‘shell’ hits. Most Latin Timbales parts ‘groove’ with the shells and solo/fill hitting the heads.

Check out this Latin rock inspired song I recorded for an artist a few years ago. No vocals but song structure is there and there is alot of Latin Percussion EZX sounds on it (Congas, shakers, timbales solo).

Dumb question in the face of this: I have Latin Percussion installed and want to map my Korg Nanopad to it.
Where do I find the MIDI notes or note numbers for the LP sound set?

Ivan, you’ve got Latin Percussion installed with SD like me haven’t you?
I found there were complete MIDI mappings as PDFs in the EZX folder and I printed them out.

Better still, if you’re using REAPER, I punched in a complete note name list for LP (and the drum SDXs), you can have the files if you want, they’re (typically for REAPER) tiny text files.

I find if I’m adding percussion to drum tracks, I’ll use a second instance of SD for the percussion, saves messing with the MIDI mapping.

How you doing with the nanopad? I read on the R forums you were getting one. I still use my old HR16 drum machine, work well though the pads only have eight levels of velocity, might look at one for playing LP too.
