Toontrack has recently released a new MIDI expansion for its EZkeys virtual instrument series. Inspired by classic and modern R&B, the R&B Themes pack draws from the surge of lush and beat-driven R&B that rose to fame in the 1990s and has continued to evolve to this day.
Having been a natural melting pot for a wealth of styles from the get-go, expect anything from the smooth, rootsy and classic soul-tinged to the jazzy, mellow and hip-hop-like. If you’re a writer looking for an all-encompassing palette of R&B-inspired melodic foundations and building blocks for loops, beats and songs, here’s your new go-to.
In total, this pack includes 16 individually mapped out “songs.” Each one is organized in ‘Verse,’ ‘Chorus’ and ‘Bridge’ parts. Of course, every folder includes several variations of each idea, ensuring that you seamlessly can blend and fuse blocks to come up with your own flow throughout a track. To add, with the onboard MIDI editing and customization features in EZkeys, you’ll easily be able to expand on these basic ideas and take them to whatever musical space your imagination calls for.
The MIDI pack is available to purchase for 29 USD/EUR at the Toontrack store and from Best Service.
