Toontrack has announced the release of the Elements EZX, a new expansion for EZdrummer 3/Superior Drummer 3 tailored for experimental sound design and creative beat making.
In this EZX, three parallel sonic worlds collide and converge in a multi-dimensional display of organic, electronic and viscerally evocative sounds. Presenting a total of 30 unique kits distributed across three conceptually different libraries, this is an all-encompassing collection of multi-spatial sounds designed to live in a nameless divide where genres, styles and narratives are secondary. Frankly, this is an EZX for fearless exploration – loaded with sounds that have the power to awaken the senses.
The Elements EZX was produced, engineered and mixed by visionary sound design artist Alex Shulga. It features a carefully curated collection of analog drum machines and vintage synths layered with live percussion, field recordings and organic sounds involving anything from ice hitting a frozen lake to birds, dolphins and whales. Each sound was individually mixed and run through its own unique chains of outboard, effects and treatments to ensure that every single sample in a kit had its own harmonic space reserved. To add, each kit has a bespoke architecture of macro controls available in the mixer, enabling you to finesse its overall vibe as well as sample lengths and additional effect saturation on an instrument level. All in all, this EZX presents the absolute highest echelon of sound design and touches the very fringes of what can be done with extreme audio engineering.
In addition to the sounds, a collection of MIDI grooves tailored for each kit is provided, allowing you to hit the ground running on the way to your next beat.
From the fathomless and multi-spatial haze of the Black Hole and Spacelibraries to the deep, warm and engaging sounds of the Earth kits, this EZX gives you three out-of-this-world libraries with sounds that are familiar but still just as peculiar – kits that are airy, light and soothing but at the same time just as ominously haunting. This is an EZX in which you can't put your finger on what you're hearing, but you can feel it.
If you're creatively natured and looking for a collection of sounds and kits unlike anything you have used before, this one's for you. Prepare to be inspired.
