In collaboration with Sontronics Microphones and Evans drumheads Toontrack Music announces the Claustrophobic EZX.
The Claustrophobic EZX marks a new step for Toontrack in driving the development of percussive samples. The audio team at Toontrack has utilized drumhead selection, room and microphone configurations to fuse the qualities of a high end drum recording and the cutting edge of the radical beats of today’s top RnB, Hip Hop and Pop producers.
Add to that samples run through the best outboard effects and made accessible in the EZ mixer to build your own mixer presets for on the fly sound design and you’ve got all the ingredients to produce, write and play music that takes you and your beats one step further,
C for Claustrophobic, C for Contemporary, C for Cutting edge.
Oh, and did we mention that the Claustrophobic EZX was recorded in a very small room?
The Claustrophobic EZX was sampled through the very best of outboard with distortion, reverb, compression and attack effects included in the internal mixer. This enables you to access a large number of mixer presets by Collén & Webb, STS 9, Richard Devine, DJ Amplive, sub-ID and Count Bass D.
And you can save your own custom mixer presets (with EZdrummer 1.1).
The Claustrophobic EZX special features
• Sampled through the best of outboard effects with compression, distortion, attack and reverb mics made available in the EZmixer.
• Mixer presets by Collén & Webb, STS 9, Richard Devine, DJ Amp live, sub-ID and Count Bass D.
