There are bass pedals on the floor, a synth on the side, a stool and even a plant pot that can be assigned to trigger your choice of effect sounds, which begs the question, who is this expansion pack aimed at? Well, experimental and ambient music is a safe bet, but many of these sounds - and not just the electronic drum sounds - would also work nicely in an EDM context alongside some more familiar sounding grooves. With over 30 snare sounds, even more kicks, multiple toms, hats and crashes, claps, snaps and shakers, the percussive side of Dream Pop is well catered for, but then there’s a whole list of electronic/processed percussion and effects as well.Ī glance at the user interface will show you that there are some oddball kit pieces present, behind which is a wall sporting an array of pads, each of which can be assigned a different sound. And of course you get a library of MIDI grooves to show them off. In fact there are so many sounds that every semitone on a MIDI keyboard triggers something. Nor are all the sounds percussive: you can call up slow-attack textural whooshes, synth tones and processed natural sounds as well as electronic and acoustic drum voices.ĭream Pop EZX comes with 29 preset kits and almost 250 individual sounds spanning percussive stomps, claps, snares and kicks to chromatic pads, whooshes and filter loops, some of which were created using various modular synth systems. In fact Toontrack themselves describe it as “nature meets technology”, blending as it does samples of organic sounds, conventional drum kit pieces and electronic percussion - and many of the sounds are processed in some way. Toontrack’s Dream Pop EZX expansion pack for EZdrummer is most definitely not just another acoustic drum kit.
