Description : Bright and piercing solos, drone basses, retro effects and airy pads: this panorama of 80s-style synth patches for EZkeys runs the gamut from soft light to dark and ominously haunting.
Designed to offer everything you need for the era-defining instruments and sounds from which synthwave originated and what it is today, this EZkeys library includes nearly 140 individually blended, layered, rich and intricately engineered presets. They are divided into seven main banks, so finding exactly what you are looking for will be so easy, as it will inspire you to quickly scroll through the many alternatives.
If you want to get back to nostalgia to write some modern pop songs, here’s your modern day neon-time flux capacitor, when we hung out in slot machines, could store entire programs on floppy disks, rented movies on VHS, and honestly thought, that by this time we will already enjoy flying cars. Welcome to an absolutely breathtaking collection of top notch synths inspired by the soundtrack of a generation.
just a heads-up….. after uninstalling 1.2.4 then installing this 1.3.3, the Library tab showed ONLY Synthwave sound library. All other libraries that worked under 1.2.4 were inaccessible….. there’s no way to tell EZKeys 1.3.3 where to look for libraries folder which in my case is on an external drive. Of course, I COULD leave the default installation paths alone but all the libraries of 1.2.4 are outside those paths. In other words, “operator error”.
They should revise/update EZKeys to the same architecture/format as EZBass and EZDrummer……. this version is klunky by comparison.
