LP SDX for SD?

[Roger Keay]

I have the LP EZX I use with EZDrummer and it’s pretty good. I’m putting in a request for an SD version. The 16bit 44.1k samples in the EZX don’t have the resolution to stand up to the ones in SD. Also, not enough instruments. We’ve done one album with EZDrummer and I now find myself going back and replacing the drums in the new material already in the can. Since we’re the Kings of Beach Jazz, LP perc has become a huge part of our sound.

I can’t remember what the sample rate is, but the original dfh superior had a percussion kit in it. I have it and use it a bunch, but it might be the same as the EZX, but i am not entirely sure. It does sound great though! 🙂

Especially the tambourines from the old S1 get lots of use here.
Like always, the EZ version has less samples, and is pre processed…so the Superior version is preferable.

But in all fairness, they could easily come up with a better product now.
Just doubt that they can be bothered in these days of electronic stiff music…they seem to gravitate more towards that market, and nobody there would appreciate a percussion set in the standard of Metal Foundry.

But I sure would!

Agreed! I would love a new percussion style product. I think it was mentioned in another thread, but something like a World Percussion EZ or SDX would be sick! If there was a way to incorporate like a hang drum as well into it….it would be even that much better 🙂

I use the S1 percussion kit currently with my D20 project along side the Avatar kit and Metal Foundry kit. I was always a big fan of Tribal stuff like old Sepultura and older Soulfly stuff. Hopefully i’ll have my album done this year sometime……darn work gets in the way of recording…haha!

How so?

I think the simple fact is it’s easy to come up with numerous great ideas for EZX’s and SDX’s, but it’s expensive and time consuming to develop them.
Percussion, cinematic percussion, world percussion etc are all no brainer ideas. As is a reggae EZX/SDX and the Jazz SDX of course. I think it would be fairer and not a little realistic to assume the costs involved, grabbing and scheduling the right personnel, and the time it takes to record, edit and format for the platform are the reasons expansions seem to take a while to appear. Not that Toontrack ‘can’t be bothered’.
