What Toontrack EKX Retro Electrics Is For
Toontrack EKX Retro Electrics is designed to bring the immediate character of two historic keyboards to the heart of your modern productions. Whether you compose funk and soul tracks with syncopated rhythms, pop and rock colors inspired by the British Invasion, or more current arrangements (neo-soul, indie, hip-hop), this EKX helps you quickly find the right tone: a clavinet that cuts through the mix, a softer, more organic pianet, and playing variations that serve the song.
Main Features
Two sonic signatures, two complementary roles
The Clavinet D6 is a rhythmic weapon: sharp attacks, short notes, nervous staccatos, and repetitive patterns that lock the groove with drums and bass. The Pianet N, rounder and more nuanced, is ideal for full chords, warm arpeggios, or melodic lines with a soft touch, featuring the harmonic relief typical of vintage electric keyboards.
An effects chain to "produce" the sound without leaving EZKeys
Because these instruments are often inseparable from their processing, the extension offers multiple effects and an effects chain allowing you to quickly shape the sound: from a dry, direct rendering for rhythmic parts to wider, more crafted textures for intros, bridges, and arrangement layers. The goal is to go from idea to "record-ready" sound with minimal steps.
MIDI library: a writing accelerator
The integrated MIDI library makes starting a track easier: accompany a chord progression, find a right-hand pattern, or test several rhythmic intentions in just a few clicks. It's a real time saver for songwriters, beatmakers, and arrangers who want to stay in the creative moment.
