Off the back of their Synthwave EZX release last week, Toontrack continue their foray into ‘80s inspired productions with a new EZkeys virtual instrument. We have the details…

If you’re looking to get back to nostalgia to write some up-to-date pop songs, EZkeys Synthwave is your modern-day flux capacitor to the neon-hazed time when we hung out at the arcades, could store entire programs on floppy disks, rented films on VHS tapes and, frankly, thought we’d be enjoying flying cars by now. 

From the feathery light to the dark and ominously haunting, EZkeys synthwave delivers a panorama of '80s inspired synth patches including bright and piercing leads, drone-like basses, retro effects and airy pads.

Inside you’ll find around 140 individually mixed, layered, saturated and complexly engineered presets. They are categorized in seven main banks (‘Bass,’ ‘Keys,’ ‘Lead,’ ‘Guitar,’ ‘Plucks,’ ‘Pads’ and ‘FX’), so dialing up exactly what you’re looking for will be as easy as it will be inspiring to quickly flip through the many alternatives. Check out the video walkthrough below to see it in action…
