What Toontrack EKX Grand Piano Is For
Toontrack EKX Grand Piano is designed to bring a reference grand piano to your productions, whether you compose pop, rock, film music, jazz, chanson, or more modern arrangements. Designed for an efficient workflow, it allows you to quickly move from idea to finished result: you load the sound, choose a preset suited to the context (solo, accompaniment, dense mix), and build your part from MIDI phrases, while retaining the ability to edit each note.
Note: to use this product, you must own an EZkeys license.
Main Features
A Steinway & Sons Model D Captured in Studio
At the heart of this expansion is a Steinway & Sons Model D grand piano, recorded in a high-end recording studio with a selection of vintage and modern equipment. The goal is clear: to obtain an expressive, nuanced, and credible instrument, suitable both for solo playing and harmonic layers within a full arrangement.
Mixed Sounds for Immediate Integration
The sounds have been mixed to fit into a production environment without requiring systematic adjustments. A selection of 14 mixer presets helps you quickly find the right tone, then refine it according to your track: presence, width, brightness, or low-end foundation, depending on the piano's role in the mix.
MIDI Library, Arranger, and Smart Transposition
To speed up writing, the software includes a MIDI library with piano phrases and an arranger with integrated timeline: practical for structuring verses, choruses, bridges, and variations without breaking inspiration. The smart transposition feature facilitates adapting patterns to your key while maintaining a coherent musical result.
Learning Tools
Going beyond just "sound," the package also offers basic music theory lessons, useful for strengthening your chord progressions and better understanding the harmonic logic behind accompaniments.
