Toontrack has introduced a new collection of MIDI files for its EZkeys virtual instrument.
Acoustic Songwriter 3 (29 USD/EUR) contains piano/keyboard MIDI inspired by singer-songwriter, folk, indie, pop and rock from the ’60s through to today.
There is something to when someone lays everything on the line, pours their heart out and without bells, whistles or extras delivers a raw, unfiltered message backed up by nothing but a candidly played instrument. Indeed, sometimes the smallest-sounding songs end up having the biggest of impacts.
This EZkeys MIDI pack picks up where the first two Acoustic Songwriter EZkeys MIDI packs left off. It continues to explore the wealth of inspiration found in 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. Prepare for a collection of melancholic, intimate, subtle and toned-down EZkeys MIDI, ready for you to mold into your own.
Also available is the Session Amps: Rock & Country EZmix Pack (39 USD/EUR), which features a wide range of guitar tones created using neural network technology.
With tones covering anything from the clean and moderately saturated to the raspy, the fuzzy, the all-out gnarly and the beautifully soaring, this expansion for EZmix 3 presents the ultimate toolbox of tones for any writer of classic-to-modern rock, singer-songwriter and country music.
The gear used in crafting the tones includes handpicked selections of rare, classic and modern amps as well as cabinets and outboard, all handpicked to paint the broadest possible definition of what fit the scope of this collection. All tones were created using neural network technology, giving you the actual sound of the entire in-studio signal chain – from the amp and the cabinet to the mics and the room. As always, any EZmix 3 preset includes its own unique set of parameters that give you granular control over all major sound-shaping components, allowing you to fine-tune each tone so that it fits perfectly to what you’re working on.
The new expansion packs are available to purchase at the Toontrack store and from Best Service.
