EZD 2 – thinking of upgrading

[John Green]

I never upgraded to EZD2 because I didn’t need all the ‘composing’ facilities, which I prefer to do in my DAWs. I notice that some add on packs are ‘EZD2 only’ so I’m thinking I now need to upgrade to get access to these.
Q1: I assume a can use ED2 in ‘the old way’, i.e. ignoring the composing stuff?
Q2: Are there any other features apart from this that I would find cool/useful apart form this?
Many thanks for any help you can give me!

Q1: Why not?
Q2: You can combine drums/cymbals from different kits and get control over some mixing effects! And you have more mixing channels in EZD2, especially great for more external FX paths. There are extra claps, shakers and hand claps as a library extension.
Oh, and loading library in V2 is about twice as fast as in V1.
About MIDI: To me especially the TAP2FIND function helps me a lot keeping the orientation of my Tonntrack MIDI library. I am using the MIDI data as a good starting point, then I can get added or removed hits in an intelligent musical way automatically, and finally I move the MIDI to my DAW for final editing (it is easier to delete unwanted hits than adding them). The MIDI Internet preview is also great, so you can listen to the complete Toontrack MIDI library before you buy it.
