Andreas Sundgren, CEO, Toontrack Music

”We are pleased and excited to be working together with a brand like
Sonic Reality. This bundle agreement adds value to both companies
product lines and profiles and it also shows Toontrack Music as a
provider of solutions for both developers and end users.”

Dave Kerzner, CEO, Sonic Reality

”Now that we have lower priced versions of our high end products like
Ocean Way Drums DL Edition, we’re now able to also offer instant
ready-to-go midi grooves that make our products more accessible to every
musician. We’re excited to be working with Toontrack to provide EZplayer
Pro for our users”.

EZplayer® pro

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 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.
