Toontrack EzKeys 2 DARK INDUSTRIAL EKX

ORGANIC, MECHANIC MADNESS.
Sounds, presets and MIDI, tailored for industrial rock and metal, dark electronic music and cinematic soundscapes.

In this EKX for EZkeys 2, the absolute contraries of the audio scope come head to head in a full-circle library of sounds covering the entire range from industrial rock and metal to dark electronic music and cinematic soundscapes. The sounds were based around a broad pool of electronic instruments and analog synths paired with an acoustic piano and an organ. The individual components were then processed using pitch modulation, granular effects, distortion, compression, amps and outboard to create sounds with an inherently dark, gritty and raw aura. Finally, these instruments were combined to create never-before-heard hybrids of sound represented in a total of 82 presets distributed over five distinct categories: Keys, Pads, Leads & Basses and Textures. Expect an all-encompassing collection of hauntingly bent, skewed, convulsing and phasing sounds covering anything from earthmoving drones and basses to ethereal pads and piercing leads.

In addition to the sounds and the presets, a MIDI library of material tailored for each preset category is included. By using several instances of EZkeys 2 and assigning different sounds from this EKX to their own layers of MIDI, you can create all-immersive landscapes of dark and multi-textured sound.

This is an EKX that hovers amidst an amalgam of styles, seamlessly reaching its tentacles into the different worlds of acoustic, organic and electronic. If you’re looking for a body of sound that offers the exact opposite of clean and pristine, this is it.

THE INSTRUMENT & THE PRESETS.
An otherworldly mutant of a machine built on a wealth of synths, an acoustic piano and an organ – all run through filters of smudge, grit and distortion.

KEYS.
These hauntingly bent and skewed sounds are primarily built around a piano and an organ blended with electronic elements and granular processing.

PADS.
String-like but dismal and ambient sounds based on heavily treated layers of analog synths and effects.

LEADS & BASSES.
Piercing leads and anything from tight and gnarly to drone-like basses.

TEXTURES.
Ethereal and experimental textures of electronic noises and atmospheric sounds.

THE CONTROLS.
There are three main sections in which you can tweak the underlying parameters of each preset: Envelope, Mix and Sound Shaping. The Envelope section lets you adjust the overall level of the main character of the sound while the Mix knob blends in ambient and electronic noise as well as single hits (non-looping) that can be used for the attack of a sound. The Sound Shaping section features low- and high pass filters as well as Color and Ambience controls. The Color control is designed to adjust the level of saturation or modulation while the Ambience knob alters the amount of reverb or delay (or a mix of both).

THE MIDI.
Instant inspiration – at your fingertips!

This EKX includes seven custom “songs” with four subfolders each containing two variations. The subfolders are named to correspond with their parent sound preset category, giving you MIDI material tailored to work optimally with the dynamics and characteristics of the sounds. By using several instances of EZkeys 2 and assigning different sounds from this EKX to their own layers of MIDI, you can create otherworldly landscapes of sound.
