Toontrack has introduced the second generation of its drum production software; EZdrummer 2.

“This is not just an update or a new digit added to the logo, it’s a completely new program, overhauled down to the tiniest detail”, says Toontrack CEO Peter Knutsson.

EZdrummer 2 introduces a variety of new songwriting features, a new user interface, a remodeled audio engine, a new mixer with easy-to-use effect chains, two new sound libraries, as well as a selection of percussion.

Coinciding with the release of EZdrummer 2, the entire line of sound library expansions (EZXs) will be updated with new effect chains and graphics optimized for EZdrummer 2.
