Toontrack Music has announced the Claustrophobic and Twisted Kit EZX expansions for EZdrummer.

Descriptions:

The Claustrophobic EZX

The Claustrophobic EZX marks a new step for Toontrack in driving the development of percussive samples. The audio team at Toontrack has utilized drumhead selection, room and microphone configurations to fuse the qualities of a high end drum recording and the cutting edge of the radical beats of today’s top RnB, Hip Hop and Pop producers. Add to that samples run through the best outboard effects and made accessible in the Ezmixer to build your own mixer presets for on the fly sound design and you’ve got all the ingredients to produce, write and play music that takes you and your beats one step further, C for Claustrophobic, C for Contemporary, C for Cutting edge.

The Claustrophobic EZX was sampled through the very best of outboard with distortion, reverb, compression and attack effects included in the internal mixer. This enables you to access a large number of mixer presets by Webb & Collen, STS 9, Richard Devine, DJ Amplive, SUB-id and Count Bass D. And you can save your own custom mixer presets (with EZdrummer 1.1). Read more…
