Hello there and welcome to the October edition of the OddGrooves.com Newsletter! First we would like to say Congratulations to our friends at Toontrack for the raving reviews that Superior Drummer 2.0 is getting in virtually every music magazine on the planet. Good job, lads and lasses! Of course, we already knew that it’s a great product and have therefore made all of OddGrooves MIDI libraries fully compatible with Superior.
FourFour Pack is out!
The long-awaited [intlink id=”45″ type=”page”]FourFour Drumming[/intlink] pack is finally out! Containing over 1600 grooves, the FourFour pack is targeted at the – dare we say it – more mainstream-oriented composer/musician/producer in need of not-so-odd-but-still-advanced-and-wellplayed grooves. And there’s lots of goodies for the prog-frogs and fusion geeks (like ourselves) too. Plenty of polyrhythms and odd stuff that add up to 4/4 after a number of bars (7/8+9/8, 5/8+5/8+6/8 etc). All grooves are arranged for Toontrack EZdrummer/Superior 2.0 and General MIDI. So, if you like Magnus’ sense of groove, timing and flow when playing odd meters, you’re gonna love what he does in 4/4. The FourFour Pack is the perfect companion to the Basic and Advanced packs and feature lots of different variations and tempos, not to mention a bunch of very cool fills. Check it out at the [intlink id=”9″ type=”page”]Drum Loop Shop[/intlink]!
OddGrooves Custom Shop
What? You want Magnus to lay down some custom grooves on your tune? Sure, no problem! We are happy to announce the launch the OddGrooves Custom Shop, which is sort of an online session musician service, where we provide not only drums but also guitars, keyboards and bass. MIDI or audio, your choice. Watch this space closely for updates.
Crazy Pack Update
The updated Crazy Drumming Pack contains a General MIDI converted version as well as a few minor fixes to the EZdrummer/Superior version. If you already bought the Crazy Pack you will get an e-mail with a free download link to the updated version very shortly.
Price increase in November
While trying hard to keep our prices starving-musician-friendly, we need to adjust our prices somewhat to be able to keep bringing you new grooves. The good news for you is that this won’t happen until November, so all of our products will be available at the current low price until the end of October. We will also introduce several new bundles to save you some dough when buying more than one product at our shop. For the full price list,[intlink id=”9″ type=”page”] look here.[/intlink]
Customer Sound Clips
We have received a couple of great tunes that feature our grooves from Lazslo Spiro and Dirk Reinking, which can be enjoyed at our Customer Sound Clips section. And we want to hear more, so keep’em coming!
