A hybrid instrument for modern pop, ambient soundscapes and soundtracks
EZkeys Dream Machine is a hybrid and preset-driven instrument designed for use in modern pop, ambient soundscapes and soundtracks. It's centered around two main components from opposite ends of the audio spectrum: a Rhodes Mark 7 electric piano as well as an undisputed cornerstone in the melodic percussion family, the celeste.

Both main instruments can be used individually, but together they form unique sonic texture unlike anything ever heard. In addition to these two instruments, a marimba and a xylophone are utilized in the background of several of the many included presets to paint even richer timbres of sound.

All in all, EZkeys Dream Machine is a new creative vantage point in your arsenal of songwriting tools. It's percussive, melodic and, quite frankly, sounds like a dream.
