I agree, this would be a great service for us. Even better to somehow integrate it into SD3 alongside the MIDI webshop functionality. This also makes sense because it doesn’t seem like Toontrack is selling any of their own Producer Preset Packs anymore.
Although it may cut into the business a little bit of the one or two websites I’ve seen who have a business selling SD3 presets.
One of the best features for the update would be a scalable interface like the new SD3. Actually, just copy the entire SD3 interface and make it into an EZ-styled one. Done and done!
Some trickle-down features in a more simplified version from SD3 would be great. Like a trimmed down selection of effects to be able to give more control over shaping the sound. Even just a couple different reverbs, compressors, and a transient shaper could go a long way in tweaking the sounds. I realize that EZD is supposed to be “plug and play,” but some expanded sound shaping abilities over EZD2 would be a welcome addition.
Also, +1 for the MIDI editor and time signature change features. The time signature change feature would be my favorite of these two features, as it would make utilizing EZD for live performances a much more attractive option.
Yes, EZXs and SDXs will work in S3 and all MIDI packs and Producer Preset Packs.
Scott,
How much overlap is there between the SDX 2.0 expansions and the massive new sound library? Are any of the drums from the SDX2 expansions utilized in the new core library? Or is this a complete redesign on the kits altogether?
Also, will there be any updates for the new sound libraries to take advantage of the new core library features such as the height mics? Or is that just for the SD 3.0 and forthcoming expansions?
A bit of criticism: the timing of the upgrade is annoying since I just purchased a Superior Crossgrade a couple months ago during the Superior Summer promotion, along with a couple of discounted SDX expansions. Granted, I’m not expecting Toontrack products to stay the same forever, but doing a new product announcement right after a Superior Crossgrade promotion does feel a bit like a bait and switch.
