Toontrack announces EZkeys 2

Today, Toontrack announced May 16, 2023, as the release date of EZkeys 2, an all-new and revamped second generation of the company’s widely popular software.

About EZkeys 2

EZkeys 2 builds on what has made its predecessor a go-to tool for songwriters but introduces several groundbreaking new features. Already have a song idea? Simply drop your audio or MIDI in the Bandmate and have EZkeys 2 list its best matches for an accompanying piano. Struggling to come up with an idea? Use the Suggest Chords feature and EZkeys 2 will come up with a musical chord progression based on style and feel. Need even more inspiration? Use the Songwriting Scales feature and let a mood or scale set the tone for your new idea. If that’s not enough, browse the extensive new MIDI library covering a wealth of genres and playing styles.

Beyond that, EZkeys 2 offers near endless possibilities for editing, arranging and customizing your performances – leaving you in total creative control.

In addition, EZkeys 2 also includes an all-new core sound library featuring a breathtaking grand piano recorded to offer maximum versatility and an unrivaled playability.

With all this combined, EZkeys 2 will let you write, play, create> and, more effortlessly than ever, add piano to your songs. EZkeys 2 is more than a piece of software, it’s a songwriting tool, an arranger and a creative hub for inspiration and new musical ideas.

Meet your new piano player: EZkeys 2.

Some of the EZkeys 2 highlights include:

  • Fully resizable and scalable interface
  • Bandmate: Get chords and grooves based on your own audio or MIDI
  • Onboard grid editor with humanization, scale matching, timing features and more
  • Tap2Find: Get grooves based on the rhythm and notes you input
