Sonic Reality and Toontrack® Music announce EZplayer pro bundled with Ocean Way® Drums and Drum Masters
Sonic Reality and Toontrack® Music are pleased to announce a new power bundle of Toontrack® Music's MIDI arranger plug-in, EZplayer® pro, with Sonic Reality's Kontakt Player™ based drum products. With the addition of EZplayer® pro, Ocean Way® Drums and Drum Masters™ will now have the powerful midi features found in Toontrack® Music's popular drum products such as EZDrummer® and SuperiorDrummer® 2.0 plus more.
EZplayer® pro
EZplayer® pro is a multi track MIDI organizer, arranger and format conversion tool between mapping formats that allows you to gather all your MIDI clips in one browser. You can use EZplayer® pro to preview those MIDI clips and drag and drop them directly into your host. The multi track arranger in EZplayer® pro also makes it possible to arrange MIDI clips into fused sequences to either be saved back into the EZplayer® pro browser for later use or be dragged into your usual sequencer as part of a composition.
Ocean Way® Drums Silver & DL Editions
Following the award-winning Gold and Platinum Editions, Sonic Reality now offers drastically reduced prices with the new Ocean Way® Drums DL and Silver Editions.
Ocean Way® Drums Silver Edition at $399 street price has the same features of the Gold Edition with simply 9 multichannel kits instead of the 19 of Gold. (Half the kits, half the price). This 30 gigabyte drum plug-in features over 6 "album ready" mixes per kit, discrete mic mixing control and stunning "audiophile" fidelity.
Ocean Way® Drums DL Edition for only $199 street price has over 10 gigabytes of samples and features 5 DL kits each with 3 "album ready" mixes plus a Download Card which allows users to add their choice of 2 additional DL kits or 1 Multichannel kit exclusively from www.downloadablesoundz.com.
Drum Masters
Drum Masters is an Infinite Player virtual instrument powered by Native Instruments' Kontakt that offers kits and audio grooves from some of the world's top studio drummers. It has multitrack and stereo Rex™ loops combined with midi playable drum kits for the most realistic simulation of a live studio drum session. Recorded in many studios around the world, Drum Masters features legendary drummers Steve Gadd (Paul Simon, Steely Dan), Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson), Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel), Danny Gottlieb (Pat Metheny Group), Ed Greene (Donald Fagen, Barry White), Nick D'Virgilio (Tears for Fears, Genesis) and Bun E.

I have this already. It's a great addition to the Drum Masters or OWD. I use it all the time, and I really like it. Is there anything about the bonus player that is different from the standard Toontrack release?
What I personally find more interesting is the GrooveMonkee sets beginning to appear on your site. Are there any bundle specials or, dare I say it, a Group Buy in the works?

Well, there are 1,000 GM and 1,000 iMap GrooveMonkee midi files for FREE along with that promo - so any Drum Masters and Ocean Way Drums users can have that (as well as our OmniDrummer users). Other than that (which is a lot btw!) nothing else planned. You are free to just purchase them!ZombyWoof wrote:I have this already. It's a great addition to the Drum Masters or OWD.

We don't want people waiting for group buys and not buying regular great deals we have. So, for that reason not everything will BE a group buy. We can't always do that you know! (That said, we do our best to make our group buys fun and interesting).-

Allen will put it in your download area. They're cool! The iMap ones are mostly conversions from GM format so they're not fancy or utilizing the full benefits of the format. I will be providing some fancy ones very soon as well (also free... how cool is this free update stuff? I think we're doing good for you guys on our drum products here! It just gets better and better I think). You get a nice assortment from Groove Monkee that covers a lot of styles. Also being announced officially but available now are Groove Monkee midi packs from www.esoundz.com and www.downloadablsoundz.comalogie wrote:Very cool!Where do we get the free Groove Monkee MIDI loops?

; but seriously, I'm gonna have to find a better way of using all this stuff! I've still got DC3 and Cubase Studio 5 in my queue for loading to my music PC (for some weeks now) ... and I'm sure I've not got anywhere close to IPs capabilities (I'm not complaining by the way 
)!Thanks again for the gift, if only everyone knew just how good Esoundz were at looking after their crew!

Squids and Allen! Thanks! I got the EZplayer Pro and have only installed it to see it worked. And it did... almost... I haven't read the manual yet so I guess I'll sort it out later.
But... super thanks! This is what I really call customer care!

This is amazing! I was one of the lucky ones that was able to score the EZplayer Free when it was out. And so I've been using that with DM, and I planned on using it when I got OWD. So NOW, I guess I won't be using it anymore. PRO here I come!
Excellent work, Dave. You and the crew have done it yet again!
Cheers
