They usually won’t discuss future releases, but check out the Urban Jazz Grooves and Fusion Grooves MIDI packs. They both fit what you’re referencing.

The Big Band Grooves MIDI has a few, but yeah, a dedicated MIDI pack would be great.

Just to verify – in order to get the bleeds you need to install the full 99GB version?  I only mix in stereo so the extra 45GB is a hardship.

Thanks!

Yeah, that’s right. The stereo download includes just the bleeds for the snare bottom mic, but if you want more than that you have to download the full 99GB.

@dg27 said:To clarify, do you mean to use a 1/2X LP EZX samba beat using a kit to get the “drum kit bossa nova beat?”

Yeah, that’s what I mean. For example, have one instance play the bossa nova kit part at 1X (like from the Jazz MIDI) which will match rhythmically with the LP EZX samba parts set to 1/2X.

In the Percussion Ensemble section of the LP EZX, the timbales part is what a kit player plays on the snare drum and the cajon is playing the part a kit player plays on the kick drum. Of course there are variations, but if those two parts basically line up with the snare drum and kick drum part, you know you’ve got it right.

Simplified:

LP EZX Samba cajon = kick drum part (more or less)
LP EZX Samba timbales = snare / sidestick part (more or less)

Absolutely add a Reggae pack to EZ keys. Emphasis on “Bubble patterns” please . . .  

Some riffs and fills that work on the Clavinet would be nice as well.

I’m also looking for this and I have the Latin Percussion EZX. All that seems to be in the ADDITIONAL CAXIXI” folder.are snare/hi-hat fills.

Am I looking in the right place?  

Bossa Nova is usually played on drum kit. Although some sparse auxiliary percussion is common. The rhythm of bossa nova is based on a half time samba, so you can set any of the samba patterns in the Latin Percussion EZX to 1/2x and they’ll sound bossa nova if played along with a drum kit bossa nova beat.
