Smoother groove

Hello all, New here, recently purchased EZ 3 Latin rhythm...

• 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

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😂

I’ve checked. Clicking on the far left does filter the grooves. Scroll down to EZX Latin Percussion and EZX Latin Cuban Percussion. You won’t hear the congas, though, unless you have a congas pack installed and loaded. EZD will play whichever drum or cymbal has the mapping.

Hi better luck this time. i’m on the same window but just realize what I’m looking at better. I actually found a jazz pattern that might work. Just got your post mick and now I see exactly what you’re talking about. Missed it the first time around can’t thank you enough! Too busy to play with it anymore today thanks to all  Danc

If I may ask another question where would I find brushes? have checked both EZ 2 and 3 but don’t see anything. I had thought they were in one of the slots that were shakers, claps or tambourines… thank you  danc

[Mick Avoidant]

You’ll need the right expansion for brushes. Americana and Jazz have them. I forget which others do.

[danc]

Hey, when I could not find them, that’s what I thought, but then I called a buddy that has EZ 2 and 3 we both seem to remember hearing the brushes and thinking they were really good. have never had the occasion to use them, but they might work on the tune I’m working on. So much for our memory cells😂 btw this is without a doubt the nicest forum I have ever been on thanks a lot guys. Danc

Hello all, Could use some help again.. after a fair amount of deliberation I chose to purchase Latin percussion. just downloaded it installation complete… don’t understand what’s going on. There are no Congas,shakers or tambourines sounds. it seems that the only thing that’s being played is what I have on the regular drum kit. not sure what to expect but it seems reasonable to think if I switch to the drum icon that I would see the Latin percussion pieces viewed there while a groove is playing.. wondering if in my ignorance of the website I purchased the wrong package and should’ve gotten Latin Cuban percussion as Jord had suggested. any help is appreciated thanks danc

False alarm figured it out. Hit the panic button too soon. I needed to change drum kits from easy drummer three to Latin percussion, thx Danc

Others have made the same mistake without working it out for themselves. Well done.
