Midi Packs

[wwhite3]

Really enjoying EZD2; I’m thinking of taking advantage of Sweetwater’s mix & match offer – 6 midi packs for $99, and you can choose any 6. Make your own bundle.

Of course selecting which 6 will be difficult at best. One style I cannot find though is Latin. I doubt there would be one for the Latin EZX which I own, but I don’t see any for a drum kit either. I may have to go third-party for that, but with the huge selection, you’d think there would be something with samba, bossa-nova etc.

Is it perhaps part of another pack and I’m not realizing it? I’d rather not go through the descriptions of all 50+ packs (well, I can eliminate a lot like country and metal).

Anyone know?

Thanks,
Bill

In EZDrummer2, filter for “Latin” in the Genre column of the [SEARCH] tab.

and don’t forget to enable “Show Web Shop MIDI” so you can audition/preview those Toontrack MIDI packs that you don’t currently own (yet).

I assume the genre filter works only for those clips I already own. I was wonder what midi packs (if any) had Latin beats included.

But maybe the Show Web Shop Midi” is what you’re referring to.(Though I don’t see that in EZD2 nor on the website.)

See pic. You can search the entire Toontrack catalog of MIDI.

I found the Show Web Shop Midi button, but after 30 minutes it still is showing “Check for Updates” I have a pretty fast internet connection, so I guess it’s just a fact that I have only the clips that came with EZD2 and the Latin EZX – it’s probably searching through thousands of clips and building a temp library with them. Certainly not practical.

Patience is a virtue. Despite the long time it took, it was worth it. A great way to help me determine which midi packs to buy as well as showing me what EZXs I may want instead.

Sorry for the multiple posts answering my own questions.
