Hello all, New here, recently purchased EZ 3 Latin rhythm in search of a groove to fit a song I have been working on.. I didn’t find anything that really fit, not knocking the product!Everything sounds fine, beats just a bit too hectic and busy. I’m looking for a smoother groove. I don’t know what genre it would be considered, closest I can come to what I’m looking for would be Frankie Valli “You’re just too good to be true”Have Googled several times is it possible to audition grooves without downloading a trial version, but unsuccessfully. there are other routes available to me, but more troublesome. was hoping for Congos but apparently there are none available with EZ3. I have an older Alexis SR 16 drum machine that has a good beat, very simple, primarily kick drum and congas. I’m supposing I could import those samples,if I understand it right, into EZ and assume if done that way it would be on the correct timeline or grid then maybe modify one of the beats in Latin rhythm and add congas manually.wondering if anyone experienced with Latin Cuban bundle would comment on what that bundle is like. Any response is welcome , thank you

Grooves tab – > click Search Web Shop – I might have got the wording slightly wrong – above the grooves. Let it load, and you can listen to every groove.
There’s Latin Cuban Drums, Latin Cuban Percussion and Latin Percussion. Which is yours? Both Percussion titles have congas. You might need to set your electric kit to play the congas.
Hi thanks for the help, had no idea how to go about auditioning(obviously) the grooves, i.e. that you accessed the auditioning process via EZ3 itself.. had assumed one had to go through TT website for that, thank you very much! I purchased Latin rhythm yesterday $28. smiling here , don’t mind the $28 hit, but I didn’t want to spend another $89 and not know what I was getting and don’t like to do trial downloads… don’t do a lot of songs and so am not up to speed by any stretch with capabilities of EZ3. will for sure audition the titles you recommended and also others like singer/songwriter, Thanks buddy danc
Latin Rhythm is MIDI grooves only; that’s why you can’t find any congas. Web Shop will let you listen to the grooves in the expansion packs, but the sounds will be from the drum kits that you have loaded.
Thanks again , Ahh, so if I don’t have one of the expansion packs you mentioned above with Latin percussion, no matter what I audition at the web shop I will not hear Congos? 😂 pretty tricky! I have modern and Nashville and now Latin rhythms. better start saving my pennies! Can you recommend either one of the two you mentioned .. you have saved me a lot of trouble! Appreciate it Danc
I don’t know which one is better. Read each one’s page and listen to the grooves, for the nearest to what you want. Cuban has more gigabytes, and I read on an EZD Facebook that it’s better than the other.

I’ve been using the Latin Cuban Percussion for a while and love the sound of it.
Hey,would be less than honest if I didn’t tell you what happened . I brought up EZ3 and on the second line as you said I see” show web shop Midi” there was an update which took a few seconds, then said I was logged in, and I see “preview all toontrack Midi from our online database..” there were some midi grooves shown but I don’t know from what package, etc. and I didn’t see anything that would take me to for instance singer / songwriter bundle ,so I could audition the contents. I pressed a few buttons the round orange ones in the same lane ..next thing you know I had nothing! I don’t have much expertise in this area so I think I’m just going to buy Cuban Latin rhythms and that’ll be that… just wanted you to know I really appreciate your help….thx danc
This might work: click on the expansion pack name on the far left of the EZD window. It might load only grooves from that pack. I’m not at home to check.
It sounds like you clicked on a set of filters that didn’t match anything. That’s okay as you can simply delete the more recent filter pills and you should start seeing grooves listed again.
Thank you jord , I have no doubt you’re right , When what I saw did not match what my expectations told me I should see, I immediately bailed out and hit. Do not save. I had anticipated being able to choose a bundle and audition that bundle. so when I saw grooves, I didn’t know if I was looking at grooves I already had or grooves from the midi shop. I will no doubt buy the Latin rhythm bundle so I have the instrumentation if I have to manipulate a beat, I’ll have Congas. Thanks for the help. Danc
Sorry,just noticed a post indicating the far left side of EZ3 Click on the expansion pack and see if grooves come up… thanks of course will check that out later today possibly. Oh my starting to run out of gas😂
