collapse expand iconDescription

Toontrack's EZkeys 2 builds on what has made its predecessor a go-to tool for songwriters, but introduces several groundbreaking new features. Already have a song idea? Simply drop your audio or MIDI in the Bandmate and have EZkeys 2 list its best matches for an accompanying piano. Struggling to come up with an idea? Use the Suggest Chords feature and EZkeys 2 will come up with a musical chord progression based on style and feel. Need even more inspiration? Use the Songwriting Scales feature and let a mood or scale set the tone for your new idea. If that’s not enough, browse the extensive new MIDI library covering a wealth of genres and playing styles. Beyond that, EZkeys 2 offers near endless possibilities for editing, arranging and customizing your performances – leaving you in total creative control. In addition, EZkeys 2 also includes an all-new core sound library featuring a breathtaking grand piano recorded to offer maximum versatility and an unrivaled playability. With all this combined, EZkeys 2 will let you write, play, create and, more effortlessly than ever, add piano to your songs. EZkeys 2 is more than a piece of software, it’s a songwriting tool, an arranger and a creative hub for inspiration and new musical ideas.

    The promotional YouTube clips make EZKeys 2 look like something that could be really useful, especially the Bandmate feature. Unfortunately, it falls way short of that goal. I use EZ Drummer and love it. It works rather well. But EZKeys isn't that useful. I attempted to use the Bandmate feature multiple times, but the outcome wasn't good. It not only failed to correctly identify the chords, it also failed to identify when the chords change. I used a single guitar wave playing E7#9 to A13, and Am7 to G13. Then I attempted a wave with guitar and drums. Then guitar, drums, and bass. It failed all 3 times to read the chords and the timing of the chord changes. I even tried a single piano chord track. That failed as well. The midi grid is adequate, but the Studio One midi editor is easier to use and has better options. Toontrack also seemed to cheap-out on what sounds are included. If you want/need something more than basic piano, you'll have to spend a little more on some expansion packs. Overall, I'm not impressed. Perhaps this works with very basic chords on simplistic songs. But so far, I haven't found EZKeys 2 useful at all.
