Toontrack EZplayer Pro (EZ Player Pro)

EZplayer Pro (EZ Player Pro) description:

Toontrack EZplayer pro is a multi track MIDI organizer, arranger and format conversion tool between mapping formats that allows you to gather all your MIDI clips in one browser.

You can use the Toontrack EZplayer pro to preview those MIDI clips and drag and drop them directly into your host. The multi track arranger in EZplayer pro also makes it possible to arrange MIDI clips into fused sequences to either be saved back into the EZplayer pro browser for later use or be dragged into your usual sequencer as part of a composition.

Used in conjunction with Toontrack solo and EZdrummer or Superior Drummer, the award winning samplers from Toontrack Music, EZplayer pro also becomes a stand alone workstation for creating MIDI beats independently from your regular sequencer.

EZplayer pro's more specialized features focus on use with percussive samplers. As mentioned above EZPlayer pro is capable of translating MIDI files between different drum sampler. To do so simply select the appropriate mapping from the menu next to the relevant EZplayer pro's track (or browser for audition purposes). Conversely, source material can be identified when incorporated into the browser so that any format can be translated into any other.

Supported sampler mappings at the time of writing are: dfh-Superior (including Custom and Vintage), EZdrummer, DFH 1&2, Digidesign's Strike, Battery, BFD 1&2, Addictive Drums, Reason Drum Kits and of course any GM software or hardware sampler, percussive or not.

Toontrack EZplayer pro main features include:

• MIDI engine available as a plug-in from your host that lets you organize and preview all the MIDI on your hard drive with the sampler of your choice.
• Imports your MIDI libraries by using the Add Path menu in the EZplayer pro interface or by dragging the folders into the EZplayer pro window.
