Do “Song Creator” Song Parts only use MIDI grooves that I own, or does it procedurally “create” unique ones?

    Hi,

    1) it finds grooves that you have in your library, it does not create new ones

    2) yes, with a bigger library, the Song Creator will have more to choose from

    3) no duplicates unless clearly stated on the product’s page. I.e. if a MIDI pack is from an EZX or SDX, it will be a note about it at the top of that MIDI Pack’s product page.

    Thanks for answering all of my questions, I’ve seen you answering questions all over this forum in my brief time perusing so far, so I’m impressed with the attention that you give each question, it’s very helpful and I knew asking here would get my questions all cleared up!

    I now see exactly what you mean in regards to question 3, for instance:

    https://www.toontrack.com/product/metal-machine-midi/

    Says “Please note that this is the same MIDI as included in the Metal Machine EZX.”

    So as long as the MIDI pack doesn’t say something like that, it’s all unique grooves, which is good to know.

    I have a question, I may need to ask in a separate thread because it’s totally unrelated to the questions I already asked here, but I was hoping for a recommendation on both an EZX and any applicable MIDI packs that would help me get drum & bass / industrial metal / EBM feels? I’m having trouble identifying which expansions would fit those styles…

    I too was curious where the song parts were created from, but that leads me to ask another question. Does EZDrummer 2 only pull from EZDrummer files as a source to populate the song parts? After initially reading this, it prompted me to view the source files in the browser and all the files I looked at originated from EZDrummer based files, even tho the original source file was Groove Monkee. I use other companies files as well as user modified files and haven’t seen EZDrummer pull song parts from any other source. Just curious. I still like (in most cases) the pallet of song parts offered.

    The Song Creator requires information that only Toontrack MIDI has, like what song part it belongs to (Verse, Chorus, etc.).

    You can drag a file to Tap2Find to find similar sounding grooves, and if you drag something from Groove Monkee, you’ll probably get similar sounding grooves. You can use those in your song, or right click a groove and select Show In Browser, and then pick any suiting grooves from there…
