Hi everyone,
I’m really loving the sound of the EZ Drummer Jazz kit and the Roots SDX libraries. I’m wondering something about them which I haven’t been able to get clear about from watching any of the youtube videos I’ve found. On the youtube videos, the demos heavily involve the use of the grooves. My preference is to find a great Jazz VST with realistic brush sounds and articulations that I can create my own performances with fully from scratch. I’m wondering if the dynamics of each piece of these kits is as realistic sounding as the grooves. For example, will I trigger a different snare sample depending on how lightly or how hard I hit the key which the snare is assigned to? Or will it be the same sample played with more or less volume? I’m not sure if my question is clear. I suppose another and related question would be, can you program performances with EZ Drummer or Superior drummer, or can you just play along with the copied and pasted grooves? I’m very new to VSTs but not new to programming on midi devices. I’ve just never used midi within a computer program, it’s all been within sequence machines. I love how realistic these VSTs sounds and feel, but I want to make sure they’ll sound as realistic if I only use the kit and not the grooves.
