EZdrummer 3
EZdrummer 3 takes the concept of "EZ" drum production to an entirely new level. Finding grooves is effortless with this virtual drum software, thanks to its gigantic, wide-ranging MIDI library. EZdrummer 3's browser has been given a significant makeover. For starters, its Tap2Find function has been fortified with a built-in step sequencer. You can also isolate specific elements from different grooves and combine them to create new ones. Creating custom-tailored grooves is a walk in the park with EZdrummer 3. Feed the virtual instrument an instrument track from your song, and its Bandmate feature will automatically generate a realistic drum performance that matches its feel and groove. EZdrummer 3 also makes editing grooves an effortless endeavor, thanks to overhauled Power Hand features, a turbocharged Grid Editor, and automatic humanization with varied articulations. To top it off, EZD3 comes with a sound library of seven drum kits — plus extras — all captured at the legendary Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin, Germany, by Grammy-winning recording/mixing engineer Michael Ilbert. EZdrummer 3 also boasts a massive cache of mix-ready presets, along with a fully scalable and resizable graphical user interface.
EZbass
EZbass brings the same top-quality sound and intuitive workflow that made EZdrummer a staple to the world of bass guitar. Far more than a virtual instrument, EZbass offers amazing sound quality and fundamental features that let you add realistic bass tracks to your songs with minimal effort. You can choose between Vintage and Modern tones and let EZbass instantly build you a bass line, convert pre-recorded guitar, piano, and drums to MIDI, or input your bass line with a keyboard controller. According to Erik Phersson, Toontrack’s head of software development, EZbass “goes above and beyond a traditional sampled instrument. EZbass is a bass player as much as it is an immaculate sound library.” Artists and producers everywhere have long valued Toontrack's virtual instruments for letting them fill out their songs with immaculate-sounding parts, even when they don’t play those instruments. And, with EZbass, it’s easier than ever to add rock-solid groove to your productions without ever picking up a bass.

EZkeys 2
