EZkeys 2: Bandmate

[@fatuyiibikunle4813]

Toontracks Team is da bomb. Thanks for your effort to make music composition easy

[@TheAggroculture]

This software changes everything!Toontrack is amazing!

[@lucasalvescosta1605]

It's the Chat GPT for musicians 😲

[@PocketSunlight]

Hee hee. Sorta true 😂

[@royor3]

Still pretty cool if you have no keyboard skills.. you can always tweak things to your liking after you drag the midi into your DAW..

[@keysbythenumbers]

If so, I have nothing to worry about as a producer/music creator… This sounds cool for inspiration or song structure but; I am the best computer program. Our imperfections are what makes music a part of our connection to each other.

[@suchnessweaver9783]

It is impressive but the playing style is extremely generic. This doesn't replace a great musician but could give some background to work against. Like a canvas for building the song. Sketch first and embellish with something unique.

[@Bigjuergo]

no it is more a library comapare algorithm based on transients.

[@louiskimlambert]

Been using EZ keys 1... All I can say is wow... EZ Keys 2 is legit!!!

[@mwarren7436]

Can't wait for this. Toontrack, you're amazing!

[@DavidCarterVideos]

What I've been waiting on and wanting for so long. This looks brilliant.

[@ngavengmirimai310]

Mind blown!!! Fantastic work, Toontrack Team

[@BenKrisfield]

I'm not a keys player but bass and guitar. This app makes composing for keyboard parts a lot more efficient. Great job! 👍

[@ashishali]

This looks magical, I am gona purchase it, thanks for making such crazy program which makes music producer's life easy. Cheers Guys!!

[@jacobseal]

EZ keys 1 was already awesome. This looks amazing. Can't wait till I can upgrade to EZdrummer 3 and EZkeys 2

[@RenevolutionAccount]

EZkeys 2 is breathtaking ! Software of the Year!

[@mustechnology]

Must-have for all musicians and arrangers!

[@Nomisdor]

Must have for all non musicians. Some of us Can play

[@okcsticksandkeys]

@@Nomisdor lol.....my thoughts exactly.

[@danielburns4483]

@@Nomisdori can play, but i’ll likely pick it up to speed up productions at times. better to get a demo done and then spend the performance time at a real piano

[@hajianekena6909]

what a work Toontrack 👏👏

[@jerrymckenzie1858]

I'm really looking forward to this feature!

[@CaptainVelveeta]

There are tons of companies out there making great, high quality synths but, when it comes to SHEAR innovation, Toontrack always takes the cake. Nice job!

[@CaptainPantys]

Yyyyooooo!!!! You guys are on fire!!!

Thanks toontrack,you are the best

[@davidharrington1133]

Excellent stuff, cannot wait until May

[@johnsmith3085]

This is amazing! Waiting for Synth Bandmate...

[@toontrack]

It already exists. Any EZkeys expansion will work in EZKeys 2… so all our previous synth expansions will work with the new band mate feature.

Great news .Thank you.🤓

[@24kHERTZ]

This is incredible! WOOOOW!

[@ghhdgjjfjjggj]

When I saw the "suggest chords" functions, I thought it was cool but wasn't completely sure cuz there are other very similar programs. But this bandmate feature has me sold. I'm gonna pre-order it.

Now the plugin deserves its name. Easy keys.

OMG Amazing!!!! But the waiting will be 😵‍💫🤯😱

[@jaymusik1235]

Hey this is so serious am putting this on the news, this is amazing

[@monkeymonkerson]

This is insane!

[@TheSteveKinney]

absolutely fantastic

[@TebogoMotlhale]

Not bad. Pretty musical in its approach 😝and FAR better than the random noise midi generators/processors ! Finally sort of catching up to the years-old built-in tools in Cubase Pro (VariAudio, Chord Track, Chord Assistant, Scale Assistant, etc). The voiceover is also VERY GOOD quality and his flow of words and arrangement of concepts is 99.99 % 🥰🥰 The UI upgrade is also wow 🥰 It's been over TWENTY FIVE years that I have been telling software developers that Drums and specifically drum patterns . . . should CONVERTABLE to Piano/Synth or melodic SOUNDS in a manner whereby the rhythm in the drums can be turned into piano/synth rhythic melodies and harmonies . . . and boy, you nailed it (the implementation of this KILLER concept) on the head in this new release of EZkeys 2 😝👌👌 Big ups to Toontrack, just Don't let this become "stale" like the previous version. Respond to feedback from customers/users and pls be more agile with updates where necessary.

[@EstebanFunkmasta]

this is wonderful

[@yaroslavleshchukh]

Toontrack, l love you 😊😊😊

[@Sneakycat1971]

Will there be a discount for people who own EZ Keys?

[@holland-planespotting4284]

AMAZING!

What a time to be alive! This tech is just so exciting. I'm so thankful this stuff exists!

Amazing. Must have it.

[@keithdunwoody1302]

Love it! Thank you!!!!!

[@EJL045]

I love your products! Will there ever be EZguitar?

[@cpia2002]

Great feature - Bum note in the A7 chord at 2.26 though, sounds like a semi tone clash

[@scottejohnson83]

Wow.. this is super impressive. I have EZ Drums but it looks like I may need to add EZ Keys to my arsenal as well.

[@basilkatz700]

Finally it arrived!

[@kennethstavis9953]

Toontrack: when are the tutorials coming out for EZKeys 2? I’ve been waiting for the content creators but, I guess they are learning it.

[@Shadowcruise99]

Finally, a scaleable interface.

WOW!! Thats fuckin awesome! Hope that Bandmate will come to SD3 as well 😋

[@ИльяБойко-е9э]

Okay, so now we're waiting for the guitar vst.

[@anthonymalone2085]

I have already placed my order. Thank-you Toontrack.

[@tobytodelafontena]

It's almost scary... Impressive.

[@ronnyskaar3737]

Would love to just sing into it and have it produce a jazz arrangement.

No kidding right? There are so many possibilities.

[@Sam-qr1wt]

When are you releasing a Hammond B3 expansion?

[@DesoloZantas]

You guys have to add this feature with EZ Bass

[@toontrack]

It exists in EZbass. It's called the drums and keys tab in EZbass, because it's for dragging in drum or keys MIDI. EZbass also has an audio tracker for audio recordings.

[@daverhodesproductions]

@@toontrack Can you use an acoustic guitar playing chords to generate a bass line in EZbass? It looks like it only works with monophonic inputs?

[@victoriousgangster]

I have this but it's kinda tough to get the piano part right as I have complex solo guitar instrumental stuff not as much chords. Gotta play with it more to get it perfect hopefully.

[@kjl1115]

In the EZkeys 2 Bandmate piano example, where is the WAV file being pulled from - the DAW track interface, or a project source folder?

[@Killadey]

I can't wait to drop in Bleed by Meshuggah and see what happens.

[@mrmar-que6307]

My time has come.😌

[@ShehzaadPro]

Simply wow 😮 I don't know why they don't come out with a intelligent beatmaker vst. I know there's EZdrummer but I'm into electronic beats, not drums 🥲

[@AldoXepulveda777]

Dude said "Generate" an accompany piano, and does not "Generate", it looks within your midi library for something that sounds like it. That's misleading guys. Bu still your software is great. Saludos from Mexico. 🤓

[@jloiben12]

Will this work like EZDrummer where if there isn’t anything in the midi packs that matches well that it would create its own progression?

[@easonf]

nice

[@joshua5887]

🤯

[@TheSoundChronicles]

I just can't imagine how quick you'll be able to come up with a song or an idea using a combination comprised of EZdrummer 3 EZkeys 2 and EZbass

[@plasticmac1439]

Will it have a polyphonic Audio to MIDI tracker. For example so I'm able to input an acoustic piano performance, convert it to MIDI and turn it into an electric piano, or even a guitar performance to MIDI and use it with a piano sound?

[@reubenyahsrael346]

What about audio from the sax?

[@ORafaMusic]

The most important thing would be to create a piano melody in relation to the audio of the voice. you haven't put this in the plugin yet.

[@Roads607]

My daw(reason 10, iMac) cannot find EZkeys 2. It finds EZkeys 1 without any problems and I've been reinstalling everything. Can I find the plugin pathway in the standalone?

[@lilikura]

This looks great! Can I use my own midi piano parts (I'm not a pianist) as a guide to make it more professional sounding?

[@toontrack]

Hi, EZkeys 2 Bandmate should be able to detect the chords you are playing and then use MIDI from your EZkeys 2 MIDI library to replace the performance and keep the chords.

[@lilikura]

@@toontrack Great! Thank you so much for the reply :)

[@larrycavallucci3258]

I got mine today, paid for last month. First look at it, as I was hoping it would be as GOOD as EZDR3's Bandmate, but I think I am not disappointed, if I am looking at it correctly. The first option is "Chords", so to me, that's confusing. SO what can you place in there? In this demo of yours, there's a stereo guitar track. I hope it will take a mono, because that is typically how I record mostly all my stringed instruments, played myself, such as AG, EG, and Bass, for which I go directly into my Allen & Heath ZED 60 board. I record Dobro with a RODE condenser mic. SO can I ASSUME that I can place any of those tracks in the CHORDS section? I don't have EZBass and don't need it. Otherwise, this was a waste of money, since with my EZKeys, I have usually started a song with EZKeys, and then used Bandmate in EZDr3, pretty much the ONLY Module in the drum s/w that I really need. PLUS with EZDr3, I can plug in a guitar or bass to get drum grooves.

[@calvingudu9237]

I had a sequence of chords in EZ keys and used the country play style. When I bought EZ Keys 2 , I used the same chords but the melody changes a lot. Very disappointing. What might have happened? Please help.

[@wilhelmhagberg4897]

Will it take into consideration the groove of original track or is it quantizing the piano to the grid?

[@toontrack]

Hi! The audio or MIDI that you feed into EZkeys 2 bandmate will be interpreted differently depending on the content. Bandmate can follow your groove and should do so in tempo with the grid, but more or less relaxed. The notes are not perfectly quantized to the grid, bringing more realism to the track.

[@Bobafat1979]

Nice! From which EKX is the organ from? Thanks.

[@toontrack]

Hi! The source audio does not use any EKX! The piano you hear in the bandmate result is Session Grand from the EZkeys 2 Core Library.

[@Bobafat1979]

Hey thanks, but there is a nice organ on track 2 in Protools. Where is that from?@@toontrack

Reaper won’t let me drag my audio file off the track is their another way

[@toontrack]

Some hosts do not allow you to export audio or MIDI via drag and drop. In our tests REAPER is one of those hosts. In this case, we'd recommend that you export/bounce the audio from REAPER and then load the audio file into EZkeys 2 by browsing to the file location in the "Select File > Open" dialog in the EZkeys 2 Bandmate.

[@billhinsperger8120]

@@toontrack yip I figured it out thanks your products are unbelievable wish I had this 30 years ago very easy to use and love how all the menu pages are the same for all the products, I’m computer illiterate and figured it all out thanks to KZbin

[@toontrack]

Sorry, yes, thanks for the correction. In recent REAPER versions it is possible by using a key command CTRL/CMD + ALT to be able to drag audio. In older versions it was not, so for anyone else experiencing this problem, update REAPER to the latest version and use the keyboard shortcut.

Its very genious! But every non-musician or non-composer thinks, he's a born songwriter. Its always better to learn to play guitar or piano. This tools invites every potatoe to make and create music.
