Folk EZKEYS MiDi

Even though the American folk music revival may have peaked in the late 1960s, pioneering artists like Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and Peter, Paul and Mary blazed a trail for a whole ecosystem of singer-songwriters who have carried their legacy and songwriting tradition into the modern day. This EZkeys MIDI pack hones in on the formative era but at the same time has a foot in the present, offering a fill-circle range of material inspired by some seven decades of folk music history. In this collection, you’ll find material for anything from the melancholic to the upbeat, just waiting for you to add words, melodies and your own twist to. Get ready for some basic but immortal chord progressions as well as all the smart twists, turns and traits you’d expect from an EZkeys MIDI pack labelled folk.

Acoustic Songwriter EZKEYS MiDi

A great song doesn’t always need the big production bells and whistles. It just needs the right words, a great melody and that whoever performs it truly believes in it. In the end, it comes down to expression. The Acoustic Songwriter EZkeys MIDI pack was inspired by the facet of the Americana, indie, folk and pop scene where acoustic instruments are predominantly favored. It’s an homage to the likes of Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Marc Cohn, Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, Nora Jones, Tori Amos, John Legend, Fiona Apple, Billy Joel, Regina Spector and the rest of the world’s amazing collective of singer-songwriters that have perfected the art of scaling down but still managed to make music that sounds larger than life. Expect a broad brushstroke that fearlessly skids right across the entire palette of song colors. Prepare for a collection of candid, melancholic, intimate, subtle and toned-down EZkeys MIDI, ready for you to mold into your own. Just fire up your favorite EZkeys piano and off you go.

Goth Rock EZKEYS MiDi

P2P | 06 June 2022 | 10.64MB

Goth, the offshoot of post-punk that paved the way for not only fashion, literature and film but also an entire sub-culture, truly defined an era. Spearheaded by the likes of The Cult, Type O Negative, The Sisters of Mercy and many more, goth and its aesthetics went from underground to mainstream and threw a cloak of horror-esque romanticism over the ‘80s and ‘90s. Since, it of course splintered off into numerous subsets and made its way into all kinds of styles during the decades to follow. Still to this day, goth is very much alive and thriving. This collection of EZkeys MIDI was inspired by not only the obvious poster bands of the heydays but also the trailblazing acts that got the ball rolling long before the word goth was even uttered. Expect the gloom of doom, the striking hooks of new wave and the unmistakable nods to industrial – all submerged in that signature melancholia that is the very essence of goth as we know it.

THE INSPIRATION STATION.

EZkeys MIDI inspired by modern electronic dance music. This collection of EZkeys MIDI features 20 individual “songs” inspired by a wealth of modern and hook-heavy electronic dance music where the keys, naturally, have a dominant role. Each song was broken down in three separate ‘Chords,’ ‘Melody’ and ‘Arpeggio’ sections with subfolders for a selection of ‘Breakdown/Buildup’ or ‘Drop’ parts in each song. This will allow you to drag, drop, mix, match, tweak, slice, dice and assign different sound sources to the parts to create your own sonic textures in your DAW. With these three layers of melodic MIDI magic, you’ll have an ever-flowing well of raw material to base your yet unwritten house, techno, modern pop and electronic hook-driven songs around. Expect all the obligatory stab-like chord sequences, a patchwork of electrifying hooks, melodies deluxe and an arpeggio ratio that is off the charts. Dive in!
