Toontrack EZkeys 2 Complete – Songwriting Keys & 30,000+ MIDI Files for $39.99

Most keyboard plugins answer the question ‘what does this piano sound like?’ Toontrack EZkeys 2 Complete answers a bigger one: ‘how do I turn this idea into a song?’ It combines a library of realistic keyboard instruments — grand pianos, electric keyboards, organs and more, sampled with Toontrack’s attention to harmonic detail and dynamic response — with one of the largest MIDI songwriting libraries ever bundled into an instrument: over 30,000 professionally crafted MIDI files spanning pop, rock, jazz, cinematic writing and beyond. The instruments make it sound real; the library and the writing tools make it a co-writer.

The MIDI Library Is the Instrument

Thirty thousand MIDI files is not a preset folder; it is a working catalogue of intros, verses, choruses, bridges and endings, played by professional musicians and organised for songwriting. You browse by style and song part, audition progressions against your track, and assemble arrangements by drag and drop — then edit everything, because it is MIDI, not audio. For producers who do not play keys fluently, this is the difference between a loop-based sketch and a composed song: real chord voicings, real melodic movement, in your key and tempo, ready to be personalised. For keyboard players, the same library is a raid-able vault of ideas and a fast way to test arrangement directions before committing performances.

Smart Chords and Real Instruments

EZkeys 2’s smart chord recognition simplifies the harmonic side of writing: it detects chords, suggests complementary notes and inversions, and helps you find the progression the melody is implying. Combined with customisable presets — warm analog-flavoured tones through crisp digital clarity — the instrument adapts to the mood of the project rather than imposing one. The sampled instruments themselves deliver the realism the writing deserves: grand pianos with full dynamic range and expressive nuance, vintage electric keyboards and organs with their characters intact, all from meticulous sampling sessions. Time-saving automation, drag-and-drop operation and automatic quantisation keep the workflow moving inside Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools and the other major DAWs, in VST, AU and AAX formats.

Complete Means Complete

The Complete edition is the full commitment: the core instrument, the sounds and the entire MIDI catalogue in one purchase, at roughly 50GB of disk for the full installation. It runs on 64-bit Windows 7 through 11 and macOS 10.12 or later on Intel and Apple Silicon, with 4GB of RAM as a floor and 8GB or more preferred. Songwriters get a partner; beatmakers get chord progressions that lift their productions out of two-chord loops; composers get a sketching environment where harmonic ideas can be tested at arrangement speed; mixing engineers get keyboard parts that arrive mix-ready.

The compounding effect of a tool like this is easy to underestimate. Songs that would have stalled at the chord stage get written. Back-catalogue ideas get revisited because the harmonic heavy lifting is suddenly cheap. And because everything stays editable MIDI, nothing EZkeys contributes is a black box — you can study what it played, learn the voicings, and make the next song more your own. It teaches while it writes, which is the EZ line’s whole philosophy applied to the keyboard.

The catalogue’s organisation deserves credit too: material is grouped the way songs are built, so browsing feels like arranging rather than archaeology. You think in verses and choruses, and the library answers in verses and choruses. That alignment between the tool’s structure and the writer’s mental model is why EZkeys sessions move quickly — the software is organised around the artefact you are trying to produce, not around the files it happens to contain.
