Tombuur, I’m interested in using EZKeys to power NI’s organs. I’ve played around with it a little, but its missing something. MIDIs. Do you know of any rock organ midi libraries out there?
I guess, I’m surprised by that. I would’ve guessed 24-bit files, like Superior. If I render it through my DAW, would I actually be getting better sound quality? Or, is it a wash, based on the programming of EZkeys and the way it plays?
Not stand alone-within DAW. I might’ve been wrong about 8-bit, it appears to be half of the file size if my 24-bit tracks. So …12-bit? Even 16 seems a little under par?
NI’s Vintage Organs is good for B3s. You could route EZkeys to it–Id love to do this, if someone knows of good midis to use. Ezkeys could make these midis fit the song your working on. Would be cool!
Typically, editing the Toontrack ones is what I do. Or, I play them with a drum pad (one of those 4-pad deals that are velocity sensitive)–but, then I have to quantize my poor timing which basically defeats the purpose. This would just save the time and preserve the subtle nuances of the fill actually being performed that way.
I took a quick look at the link fizbin provided–and this might be something I need to look into. It never occurred to me to look for 3rd party files (though, strangely, that’s the first thing I did when I bought EZ Keys).
BTW S2 is amazing! I’ve got an old band mate who HATES computer drums (well we all do, don’t we?) and suddenly, after switching to S2, he’s on board. The dang things sound soo convincing!
Yeah … I think you might know what I’m talking about. White Stripes might be a little too simple–but it’s in the ballpark. I’m not a drummer, so I don’t know how to correctly describe the techniques, but alot of these MIDI packs quickly get into ghost strokes and wild fills that are all over the kit. The type of drums that come to mind are all over Social Distortion albums (it doesn’t seem to matter which drummer Mike Ness has behind him, they all manage to work). Just some nice kick/snare fills, plain snare fills, then on the more technical end of the spectrum, a few toms added. Just straight-forward, no frills, rock drums.
