Toontrack Modern Pop Piano EKX v1.0.0 is an expansion for EZkeys 2 on Windows that blends old-world charm with cutting-edge sound design.
Built around a carefully sampled vintage piano, but with extensive layers of synthesizers and resampled sounds, processed with granular and time-stretching effects, external processors, and more, this expansion is the perfect blend of vintage character and modern production.
The main instrument in this EKX is a classic Grotrian-Steinweg piano dating back to the mid-1950s. Recorded using a variety of microphones at the renowned Riksmixningsverket studio in Stockholm, Sweden, by sound engineer Linn Fijall, it possesses a stunningly natural timbre.
While the basic piano sound can be achieved using a variety of presets, the core concept of EKX was to create a palette of layered and complex tones, with the piano serving as the overall foundation. To achieve this, the original recordings were copied and resampled using a variety of analog and digital outboard processors, including compressors, equalizers, saturators, tape emulators, and more. Additionally, various analog synthesizers were recorded separately. All of these original sound sources were then interwoven and seamlessly blended into a collection of 80 individually created presets.
In addition to the sounds and presets, a basic MIDI collection is included, unique to this product and tailored to the instrument.
Whether you are working on an ambient sound design concept, an EDM hit, or virtually any aspect of popular music, from subtle auteur style to experimental electronic acoustics, this extension has the sounds you need. If you are open-minded and are not afraid to let sound define your compositional style, give this EKX a try.
