2 bass, 6 guitar (all under Any/Alternative category) and 2 harmonica amp presets.

so medium gain settings? as opposed to high gain metal, or cleans?

would be nice to see an official notice on the toontrack website about ezkeys. I’ve just bought the new ezmix pack seems pretty solid!

How many guitar amp sim presets did they add in the new Core expansion? And what genre(s) are they?

Americana is pretty badass. It’s very in your frikkin face in a good way. Much ballsier than I expected. 29.99 was indeed a no-brainer for this.

One thing to remember with Americana is the full Snare Rimshot is on the E note unlike most other EZx that have it at velocity 127 on the D note.
Same as Evil Drums SDX and the Classic EZX.

I noticed that yesterday in regards to the Classic actually. I was trying out some grooves and comparing them between Classic and Nashville, and I was like… huh… then I realized what was happening. Thanks for the heads up about Americana.

I almost picked up Music City last week from Audio Deluxe for 74.99, but I talked myself it of it. I don’t think I need it. But the next time i see it at 74.99 I will again be tempted for sure. For now, within the course of 3 days or so I picked up Metal Machine and Americana.

Ok, I bit, i coudln’t help myself, not at that price. Anyone else interested, it’s going for 29.99 on eBay right now from a couple sellers like Audio-Deluxe.

Fatter than Nashville? Sounds pretty good to me. Honestly, I’m not crazy about the Nashville kit other than the toms, and even the toms can be a bit over the top for a lot of things. I usually fall back on the Vintage Rock toms for things. But for the $29-$30, I think picking up Americana is sort of a no brainer?

Nice sounding stuff. Metal Machine is definitely on my list, but I’m holding out for a sale. I’m cheap and poor. Bad combination. lol.

Audio Deluxe has Metal Machine for $59 right now on eBay. Good enough for me! I pulled the trigger. Again, awesome sounding song.

I also think we’ll be seeing expansions in differently flavors of keyboarded instruments. Electric Pianos, Organs, and lord knows what else. This could be huge.

Toontrack basically just got more of my money with this thing. But I’m STILL not buying any of them darned EZmix presets! lol.

Ok. I know how lethal the bacon became over in my “delete me” thread on the S1 forum. lol. Let’s definitely hold back that kind of heavy artillery until absolutely necessary.
But… still no Toontrack word on any of this. Not liking it. I might be getting my frying pan out just in case.

Let’s save the bacon as a last resort shall we? 😉

I’m assuming so, but are you the same sunmachine from the Presonus forums?

I do wonder how long it’ll be before Toontrack addresses this, or if they will at all. They might stand their ground. Only they see their daily sales data. Maybe they are moving plenty at $49. I don’t know. I do know that though we are a minority, and there is only a handful of us that have expressed our disappointment in this price increase. But I’ve yet to see anyone on the forum defend the price or say it’s no big deal. I’m sure a few will come along sooner or later.

In any case, I would hope that Toontrack would address it at some point, even if it’s to present their justification for it. Cause from where I stand, it simply looks like gouging. Especially on an older line of products that now just got an almost 70% price increase!
