Toontrack Hip-Hop/R&B EZkeys MiDi WiN MAC



EZkeys MiDi WiN MAC | 10.72 MB

A MODERN MERGE.
EZkeys MIDI that merges hip-hop with that unmistakable soul-like flair of R&B.

In today’s music landscape, the lines between genres keep getting more and more smudged – especially so when it comes to the likes of hip-hop and R&B. Collaborations, guest appearances, performing producers and DJs – the field is wide open for players on both sides of the ‘fence’ to explore and evolve. A hip-hop track can include sung verses and big vocal choruses while an R&B song can build predominantly on rap. No given set of rules applies, and like in all creative contexts, with a blank slate comes borderless creation, new ideas and open minds.

Toontrack Big Band EZkeys MiDi WiN MAC



EZkeys MiDi WiN MAC | 11.07 MB

BRING ON THE SWING.
In big band land, swing is king. And this collection of EZkeys MIDI has plenty of it to go around.

The horns may be the most easily identifiable ingredient in the often busy sonic landscape of a traditional big band arrangement, but the unsung hero of the melodic rhythm section is undoubtedly the piano. This EZkeys MIDI pack was inspired by the timeless musical legacy left by the likes of Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington and the many other players and band leaders who immortalized the piano as an unquestionable component in the big band format.

Toontrack Big Band Grooves MiDi WiN MAC



MiDi WiN MAC | 10.64 MB

GROOVE-APPROVED.
Drum grooves, fills, breaks and pick-ups inspired by the iconic drummers of the big band era.

The big band and swing era of the early 20th century wasn’t only significant because it introduced jazz music on a major scale to the general public, but for several other reasons as well. First, it very much defined what we still refer to as a ‘drum kit.’ Before the jazz age, drum sets were comprised of pretty random pieces of percussion. The big band format actually in many ways standardized the kick/snare/hi-hat/tom-tom format. Second, likely no other genre has produced more timeless drum icons. Still today, we marvel at the technicality, finesse and almost weightless facility of “Papa” Jo Jones, Gene Krupa, Chick Webb, Buddy Rich and many more.

EZkeys MiDi WiN MAC | 9.96 MB

MAKE IT EASY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE.
EZkeys MIDI inspired by basic rock from the ’60s through to today.

This collection of EZkeys MIDI was inspired by the music of the iconic rock artists that master the art of making basic songs sound far from simple – instead smart, to-the-point and blatantly effective. But it’s not just about a great chord progression, what makes or breaks an idea are of course the endless combinations of the notes of the scale that make up the melody to go on top. The Basic Rock EZkeys MIDI pack gives you bundles of just that. Expect variations that twist and turn basic chord progressions and melodies inside out, resulting in all kinds of combinations that you can hone and mold to sound like you.

Fangirls: Scenes From Modern Music Culture



English | 2019 | ISBN: 1787132412 | 256 Pages | 3 MB

From Beatlemania in the early 1960s to the Directioners and Beyhive of today, female music fans have long driven the objects of their affection to the dizzying heights of life-changing fame. But marginalized fan groups are never given appropriate credit. Frequently derided, their worlds and communities are self-contained and rarely investigated by cultural historians and commentators. Yet without these people, in the past, records would have gathered dust on shelves, unsold and forgotten.

Toontrack Contemporary Soul Ballads EZkeys MiDi WiN



EZkeys MiDi WiN | 3 MB

A WHOLE LOT OF SOUL.
Ideas and inspiration for your next few modern, heart-wrenching slow soul songs.

Although soul music has taken many shapes, forms, twists and turns since the ’50s and on, it’s never been out of style. However, one can’t deny its massive peak and resurgence of late. Artists like Adele, John Legend, Jacob Banks, Sam Smith, Rag’n’Bone Man and many more have placed modern soul music at the top of the food chain and all had hits that have dominated the airwaves and charts. Most of these worldwide hits are ballads. And admittedly, there is something about soul and ballads that goes together – like a common thread in the fabric of both that makes the heartache, the traces of rhythm and blues and the subtle gospel references come full circle in slow, soulful glory.

MAC - 6,8 MB | WiN - 3,9 MB

The West Coast, late 1970s. The scene is buzzing with newcomers like Toto, Christopher Cross, Journey and Foreigner. A new breed of rock is on the rise. It’s slick, immaculately performed and has an easy-going, safe and carefree vibe – void of all the common, rowdy traits of rock. In this new sound, elaborate vocal arrangements, percussion and even horns jostle their way to the front of the mix in super-polished productions. But if there’s one instrument that’s really making a resurgence in rock during this era, it’s the piano. The number of anthem-like songs where the piano has the undisputed leading role is huge.

DRAG. DROP. POP!
Piano and keyboard MIDI for modern, anthemic pop songs.

Although it sometimes may be amid layers of other instrumentation, tweaked or distorted almost beyond recognition, there is no denying that the piano still has a prominent role in contemporary pop. Listen to anthemic songs by the likes of Ariana Grande, Kygo, Coldplay or P!nk and you can easily pick it out as the dominant melodic vehicle. And given the flexibility and endless sonic application of MIDI, switch the piano for another instrument and the feel changes in an instant.
