The next generation of EZkeys. Ready to write, play and create? Welcome in and meet your new piano player.
A melody, a chord sequence or a riff - every great song ever written started with a basic idea. Whether you open EZkeys with a blank slate or a finished track at hand, EZkeys was designed to be the new go-to staple in your creative toolset. Already got your own idea down? EZkeys 2 supports a wealth of features that allow you to add piano to your already written song parts. EZkeys 2 offers endless options for editing, fine-tuning and tweaking the included as much as your own MIDI takes.

A grand piano isn't just iconic in stature and tone, it's an indisputable songwriting staple. EZkeys 2 comes with an all-new core library featuring a breathtaking instrument captured to offer the broadest possible tonal palette. The F212, which was sampled for EZkeys 2, is a medium-sized instrument that produces a slightly softer timbre compared to the larger concert grands.

Overall, it has a balanced and responsive tone as well as a dynamic range that can produce the entire scope of expressiveness - from the thunderously punchy down to the feathery light. This makes it an ideal instrument for broad songwriting and recording studio use.

The EZkeys 2 core library instrument was miked to offer a broad selection of options, tones and ambiences for use across the different presets included. With an end-goal of offering maximum versatility, the EZkeys 2 core sound library offers a wealth of ready-made mixes for anything from the purely acoustic to the synthetically layered and the outrageously saturated.

A software instrument isn't complete if it can't be played. That's why Toontracks invested just as much effort in making sure that EZkeys 2 offers an unrivaled experience for the piano player as for someone who has no intention of using a MIDI keyboard. Close your eyes, play away and you'll hear it as much as you'll feel it.
