Toontrack have released Modern Soul & Retro Soul, two new EZkeys MIDI packs, each available for €29.00.
Modern Soul
Fusing classic soul with funk, jazz, fusion, hip-hop, pop and electronic, soul of today is a patchwork of styles where no rules apply other than those that have been given since day one: great melodic and rhythmic foundations. However, seeing as the word “modern” implies a fleeing snapshot of the exact moment of now, this collection of EZkeys MIDI rather sets out to capture the evolution of post-classic soul from the late 1990s through to today. Expect the lush and velvety ballads reminiscent of the early pre-millennium neo-soul era all the way through the funky, beat-driven and electronic amalgams that followed.
If you’re looking to make songs that fearlessly arch over the last few decades of soul evolution, this collection of EZkeys MIDI is for you.
Retro Soul
When artists like Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding and many more hit the scene some 70 years ago with their new, vocal-driven collage of gospel, jazz and blues, they made an indelible mark on music history. Since then, classic soul has produced more iconic artists and timeless hits than arguably any other genre to this day.
This EZkeys MIDI pack is an ode to all the old souls who blazed trails and set off musical waves that have continued to roll for decades on end – from coast to coast, through the heartland, down south, around the world and back again. If you’re looking for classic soul inspiration that hits straight to the heart, this is your next stop. Expect anything from the heartfelt ballads to the driving, rhythmic and freakishly funky. In other words: soul as we know it.
