Complete software
Toontrack EZkeys 2 is designed to integrate a credible piano that is immediately usable in your productions while facilitating writing. It suits both composers (demos, film music) and producers in pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, electro, or acoustic music, as well as home studios seeking an inspiring piano without spending hours programming. Whether you want to lay down a solid chord progression, enrich a chorus with subtler voicings, or generate realistic playing variations, EZkeys 2 aims for a clear goal: transforming an idea into a finished piano arrangement with a fast and musical workflow.
At the core of the software, the Fazioli F212 delivers a sound color that is both modern and refined, with dynamics suited for solo parts as well as accompaniments. The result integrates easily into a session, whether as a piano upfront in the mix or as a more discreet harmonic support. The standalone version also allows playing and working without opening a DAW, convenient for quick composing or rehearsing.
The Bandmate feature analyzes your imported audio and MIDI files to propose "musically appropriate" ideas. It is a powerful tool to save time during production: you start from a recording (a vocal, a guitar, a beat) or an existing MIDI sequence, then EZkeys 2 helps you find coherent piano patterns to reinforce groove, structure, and harmony.
With Tap2Find, you indicate a rhythmic and melodic intention by tapping on a MIDI keyboard or even via mouse clicks, and the software automatically suggests a fitting piano accompaniment. This approach is ideal when you have an idea in mind but don't want to manually browse through hundreds of variations: you "play" the idea, and EZkeys 2 instantly matches relevant patterns.
The integrated grid editor offers precise control over playing: rhythmic placement, velocities, note lengths, and quick adjustments. The intelligent humanization feature improves timing to avoid a mechanical feel while preserving musical intent. The software also provides automatic phrase recognition and scale or chord adaptation, facilitating the creation of variations, key changes, and harmonic exploration without breaking the piano playing logic.
To compose faster, EZkeys 2 offers the Suggested Chord function and a chord wheel to identify compatible chords and enter them easily. This is especially useful for enriching a progression, finding substitutions, or harmonizing an existing melody without interrupting the creative flow. The result: you build more convincing and musical chord progressions, even if you are not a trained pianist.
