EZ KEYS 2

EZkeys 2: Your new virtual piano

Your inspirational songwriting partner as the perfect complement to EZ drummer and EZ bass

EZkeys 2 builds on all the innovative qualities and revolutionary features that made its predecessor the successful and popular standard instrument for all songwriters. Now you can simply import any performance as MIDI or audio files into Bandmate, and EZkeys 2 will automatically and autonomously provide the best suggestions for a suitable piano accompaniment. If you are looking for a creative idea, the Suggest Chord function in EZkeys 2 offers a reliable and uncomplicated way to be inspired by a musically meaningful suggested chord progression, a special style or an individual feel. Many different songwriting scales are available to find a new suitable scale for your own song idea with perhaps rather unfamiliar sound material

In addition, EZkeys 2 offers almost inexhaustible possibilities and functions for the individual editing and arranging of your own or suggested piano performances.

Of course, EZkeys 2 contains a completely revised and proprietary core sound library of an extremely carefully sampled and fantastic-sounding grand piano, which was specially recorded for the special requirements in EZkeys 2, the greatest possible tonal flexibility and extremely nuanced and expressive playing.

All of these features make EZkeys 2 the perfect songwriting partner with which authentic and impressive piano accompaniments for your own songs are child's play. EZkeys 2 is clearly more than just another piano software - it is a creative and powerful songwriting tool, a flexible arranger, a fantastic-sounding virtual piano instrument and above all an inspiring idea generator for working on your own song ideas.
