I forgot my password. However, it is probably true to say that some potential users were put off by what was perceived as a somewhat complex user interface. To their credit, Toontrack responded with EZ Drummer, based upon a narrower range of drum sounds than DFH Superior but with a much more user—friendly interface. With SD 2. While SD 2. EZ Player Pro doesn't include a MIDI editor — this still has to be undertaken within your host sequencer — but many users may prefer to do this sort of editing in a familiar environment rather than having to learn a new set of tools anyway.
Via some clever compression technology, Toontrack have managed to get 60GB of detailed drum sampling into 20GB of hard drive space. Installation does take a little time, but both that and the challenge-and-response authorisation process proved otherwise painless on my test PC.
I tested the VST version within Cubase 4. All the documentation is supplied in PDF format. For existing DFH Superior users, a 'classic' view is also provided, where each drum item is represented as a drum pad. The right—hand side of the Construct window allows the Envelope, Pitch and Humanise settings to be adjusted for the currently selected highlighted in blue kit piece, while the topmost box allows X—drums you guessed it, extra drums to be added to the kit.
If you own other Toontrack drum libraries, such as the Latin Percussion library, X—drums can be used to build a full percussion section around the basic drum kit. Along the base of the main window are five ever—present control sections. The other three sections all refer to the currently selected kit piece, and particularly useful are the EZ Mixer controls, which mean that the full Mixer window doesn't have to be opened just to make a quick level adjustment to one element of the kit.
Perhaps the most significant development in the GUI is the Mixer window. This features separate channels for each virtual microphone, and, as there are multiple mic positions for the kick and snare as well as the overheads and ambient mics, this gives a very detailed level of control over how the kit sounds.
Mixing the sampled drums of SD 2. Each channel features slots for insert effects, although you are limited to the selection of EQ five—band , Gate, Compressor, Transient and high— and low—pass Filter supplied with SD 2.
That said, these all sounded very good to my ears. As well as a standard master output, SD 2. Clicking on the Output button towards the bottom of each channel strip allows a mic to be routed to a particular output pair or to one of the 16 buses. The Bus Send Bleed and Bleed Control knobs allow the user to specify the degree of microphone bleed from each kit piece into other microphones. Clicking on the Edit button under a channel's Bleed Control knob allows the amount of bleed to be specified on a drum—by—drum basis.
I suspect that this degree of control may be over the top for the needs of most users, but if you do want ultimate control for an ultra—realistic sound, SD 2. The SD 2. Toontrack supply an excellent collection of MIDI loops in a variety of styles and time signatures, and users can specify the paths to any other MIDI loop libraries they may have installed on their hard drive.
The EZ Player Pro window is divided into two areas: the upper section simply provides a Browser window where MIDI loops can be searched and selected; and underneath is the multi—track Arranger window. In between these two is a strip of controls that include a playback option for auditioning the currently selected MIDI loop within the Browser.
While many users might prefer to do their loop arranging in their DAW, the Arrange window does offer some interesting possibilities. For example, each track can have multiple Layers, and a different loop can be placed in each Layer, with options to play all layers, cycle through them or select one at random with each playback pass.
As the MIDI output from EZ Player Pro can be recorded into your DAW, there are also some excellent creative possibilities to be had by offsetting the loops within different tracks to create new performances. This would work particularly well with tracks containing percussive parts. Given the DFH Superior pedigree, it should come as no surprise that the sophisticated functionality provided by the combination of SD 2.
When you consider that there are approximately , individual samples in the library and that these are spread across a relatively small number of individual drums and cymbals, the word 'detailed' probably doesn't do the sampling strategy justice.
The library includes three kicks, seven snares, three hi—hats, five toms, six cymbal setups, four rides and a cowbell. In almost all cases, multiple articulations are included for example, seven different types of snare hits as well as a variety of sticks, brushes and mallets.
