THE BEAT BOUTIQUE.

Drum grooves and fills inspired by techno, house and more. The repeating beat of a techno drum groove is like a hypnotic pendulum that propels a song from start to finish. When it interlocks with the throbbing bass and feeds off of all the riveting layers of textured melodies, harmonies and synths, it’s nothing short of magic. In this MIDI pack, we dive into a broad definition of techno to deliver a library of unwavering groove foundations ranging from the basic to the elaborate. Expect a collection of timeless rhythmic foundations, big breaks and trance-like grooves designed to stand their ground in productions riddled with any melodic, percussive or arpeggiated synths, basses or effects you throw at them. Even better, with the tools in EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3, you’ll be able to easily swap, mix and match the individual instrument layers of these grooves to create all-new hybrids. If you close your eyes and can envision your next track being blasted through the speakers of a neon-dazed club at 3:00 AM, this MIDI pack is for you. Here’s your very own virtual beat boutique.

FROM GARAGE TO JUNGLE.

Drum MIDI inspired by UK dance music. For decades, the UK has been at the very forefront of producing new and innovative acts, playing a defining role in shaping the sound of electronic dance music as we know it. In this MIDI pack, we throw ourselves headfirst into its vast magnetic forcefield of monotonously trance-like, syncopated and offbeat grooves. Expect a collection of raw beat material that touches on all the signifying traits of anything from drum & bass, dubstep, jungle, garage and grime. This MIDI pack was created primarily for use with our more electronic-centric EZX and SDX expansions and, as such, may render some off-kilter instrument choices and note stacking if played back with a regular set. However, as always with MIDI, you’re in the driver’s seat – slice, dice, mix, match, move and rearrange to come up with your very own renditions. Comprising 40 “songs” and more than 350 individually created parts in tempos ranging all the way from 90 up to 185 BPM, you’ll have no shortage of options. Prepare for an eclectic collection of grooves and breaks that covers anything from the slow, pulsating and bass drum-throbbing to the energetic, bouncy and all-in wild.

This isn’t your regular set of grooves – this is a drum MIDI pack riddled with unique beat foundations that span anything from unusual phrasing and odd time signatures to uncommon rhythmic patterns and some real left-field instrumentation. Inspired by soundtracks, scores, Latin and a wealth of other styles, this collection will give you a truly eclectic swatch of rhythmic textures to frame your groove-centric ideas around Although most grooves work great as is, the real magic happens when you use parts of each variation to create all-new hybrid beats by using several instances of EZdrummer/Superior Drummer. To add, this pack was performed and designed in such a way that you seamlessly can swap parts across tempos and styles, making each combination virtually limitless. Mix, match, slice, dice – and be surprised! This is a pack for complete playfulness and unhinged creativity. Looking for a drummer who seemingly has way more than two arms? Need a MIDI pack designed to trigger new ideas rather than serve as your everyday staple set of grooves? Got an urge to experiment? If you got all those boxes checked, this collection of grooves is for you. Welcome to your new rhythm reel.
