Thomman have the expansion for $36 in case anyone looking of an expansion that is not on sale. https://www.thomannmusic.com/toontrack_ezkeys_sound_expansion.htm You do realize that with EZkeys you can enable MIDI out in the VST, mute the internal piano audio, and use any other piano VST in your DAW as the target sound generating module. Only necessary to buy the expansion sounds if you really like them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm winging it with just the EZkeys Upright Piano. Maybe I'm spoiled but I also have the Arturia Piano V3, the XLN Addictive Keys Studio Grand, the Waves Grand Rhapsody, and numerous pianos in NI Komplete and IK SampleTank MAX. I particularly like the NI Noire and Una Corda. Too many options already! Edited December 1, 2022 by abacab 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smde Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 EZkeys has such huge potential but for some reason Toontrack seems to have neglected it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the EZkeys release notes, the last update was to v1.3.3 on March 15, 2022. https://www.toontrack.com/release-notes/release-notes-ezkeys/ Just guessing that Toontrack are probably working on the next major update. The current EZkeys lacks a VST3 plugin and an updated GUI, so a major version update could bring it in line with their other EZbass and EZdrummer 3 products. Don't see any reason for them not to do that, as they are still releasing expansions and MIDI for EZkeys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I picked up EZkeys I chose the upright because I was already up to my eyeballs in grands and the upright had a nice sound, so good for a change! But I will add that Arturia did a rather nice job with the uprights collection in the new Piano V3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
