EZPercussion?

[Andy]

First of all, great product and great product range guys, but have you any plans for a percussion pack? desperately in need of timpany, shakers, tambo etc.I think it would make a great addition. Any one agree? Finally, can we have more 3/4 time sigs..3/4 is a wee bit neglected in the library’s : )

I am totally in need of everything you just asked for. I’d prefer it as an SDX, though. Unfortunately, Toontrack will probably not tell us if the are planning to release a percussion library. I don’t understand why. What’s the problem with saying “…Yes. We are working on a percussion library.”…or saying, “No. we will not release a perc. EZX or SDX!”? I’d rather buy a percussion library from Toontrack, but I can’t really wait to buy from Toontrack when I don’t know whether or not Toontrack plan to release one. Good luck getting answers, andywg. You’re gonna need it.

Scott from Toontrack said the following in another thread:

Toontrack never comments on future releases. Vague answers are, at best, what you’ll receive. Feel free to discuss what future releases you’d like to see amongst yourselves but don’t expect confirmation or denial from anyone at Toontrack. We are all bound to an NDA.

However, all requests and feedback about Toontrack products are logged by the appropriate departments so don’t fear that any requests are falling on deaf ears, they are heard loud and clear.

Hi andywg,

There is currently a Latin Percussion EZX that has tambourines, shakers, etc. available. See the product page here for a list of instruments.

http://www.toontrack.com/product/latin-percussion-ezx/

There are also a selection of percussion instruments included in the Pop! EZX (shakers, tambourine, cabasa, maracas, handclaps, snaps, cowbell, claves and bells).

I’m sorry if Toontrack’s policy of keeping future releases close to the vest bothers you.

well, i just don’t see the reason for it, Scott. I am probably just seeing things from my own obscured perspective, though. I am sure Toontrack has it’s reasons for keeping mum. Does Toontrack’s NDA preclude you guys from telling us why there is a NDA in place?

sorry andywg, I’m off-topic here.

I’m not going to discuss Toontrack’s NDA here but I will quote you:

‘I am sure Toontrack has it’s reasons for keeping mum’.

Yes.

Many thanks for the reply’s. I was thinking percussion aimed more at symphonic/classical/imposing film sound track vibe? Ketle drum/timpany sounds…I know I can find them elswhere, but love the toontrack products. Thanks again.

I’ll second the request for stuff like that.

I don’t know if orchestral percussion is out of TT’s league, but I’d like more varied percussion, and also more non-conventional drums (African, Indian percussion, etc.)

Just adding percussion, a few twisted kit stabs and some electronic sounds to a soundtrack; would love access to some tympani. Anybody know of anything that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg?

I know this is an old thread, but I’d like to add that the Latin Percussion pack does NOT include Clave, which is an EXTREMELY important instrument in Latin Percussion. Any chance of fixing this error? (I call it an error because I can’t imagine it was a conscious decision to omit such an integral part)

The Latin Cuban Percussion EZX includes claves.
