Platinum Samples and John Emrich are pleased to announce the release of the Real Jazz MIDI Groove Pack.
Real Jazz is a Jazz MIDI groove collection featuring both stick and brush grooves. Over 2,100 actual live, jazz grooves were recorded as a real performance on an electronic drum set at specific tempos. It includes 2-beats, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, ballads, and shuffles for both sticks and brushes. Real Jazz even includes some bop and jungle grooves.
This definitive jazz collection features the first real usable set of brush patterns for MIDI. By using the sweep articulations available in drum VST and Core Audio instruments, the Real Jazz grooves replicate the correct sound and feel of playing brushes.
Real Jazz is available now as a download from Platinum Samples' website and includes BFD2 groove palettes, BFD 1.5 groove bundles and GM Standard MIDI files for $35.
