Toontrack

For most of us, the anatomy of sound and its inner workings as a creative catalyst is a peculiar thing. The moment we hear something we can't define a new instrument our minds inevitably open up to interpretations beyond the convention. Sound becomes visuals that in turn transform into tangible ideas. This library of sounds for EZkeys is a prime example of just that.

EZkeys Cinematic Pads is based around several analogue and modular synths as well as a vintage grand piano and an electric bowed guitar. Together, these components form a never-before-heard hybrid instrument of reverberant, peculiar, fluttering, ominous, visceral, fluid and literally out-of-this-world audio landscapes. With this at hand, you're an intrepid explorer at the helm of an audio vessel headed straight into the unknown weightlessly drifting through an interstellar cosmos en route to uncharted sonic frontiers. If you let yourself go, you'll enter a realm where the divide between reality and dream is nothing but a lucid gradient ready for you to pierce though.

Modular Synths
In simple terms, a modular synth is a make-your-own-synth system where modules like oscillators, filters, amplifiers, LFOs, envelopes and more are used to produce one-of-a-kind sounds in real-time. Several classic modular systems were used to create the unique sounds in EZkeys Cinematic Pads.

Analogue Synths
A handpicked selection of classic analogue instruments were blended in as a contrast to the modular sounds.

Bowed Guitar
The bowed guitar is a Togaman GuitarViol. Essentially, this unique instrument is a hybrid of a guitar and a viola or cello. It's traditionally tuned like a classic guitar but played with a bow.

Grand Piano
The piano featured in the back end of EZkeys Cinematic Pads is a Bosendorfer from 1891. It was sampled in traditional Toontrack fashion but had each note reversed in the final product.
