ZincT Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 (edited) Thanks @Canopus I went for the Synthwave EKX and it offered the Synthwave EZKeys MIDI at the checkout for 9 EUR. I might also grab some of the other MIDIs before the sale ends. It probably goes without saying, but some of these might work out cheaper at 3rd parties such as JRR, Bestservice, AudioDeluxe etc. Like most of you who have been here a while, I probably don't need anything new, but EZKeys is one of my most used plugins and I find these MIDI packs useful, and the Synthwave instrument was one I didn't already own.

But when the price difference between buying directly from the manufacturer, and buying from a third-party vendor, is very small, I prefer to buy directly from the manufacturer. After all, if I like their products and want more of the same kind, I’m dependent on the manufacturer being profitable enough to stay in business. As for third-party vendors, there are many of them, and if one folds up, there’s another one just around the corner. They normally don’t add any value, except for maybe some odd freebie you don’t really have any need for and soon will forget that you’ve installed. If you even install it. Having said that, if there’s a significant price difference, I go for the lowest price. There’s a limit to my altruism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are different animals but I use Addictive Keys most because I do play. Because of this, I've not yet upgraded to EXKeys 2. Is the improvement worth the $99 upgrade? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of this, I've not yet upgraded to EXKeys 2. Is the improvement worth the $99 upgrade? What he ^ said, lol! I am a guitarist so, although I know my way around a keyboard musically, I'm not much of a player, so I appreciate what EZKeys 2 can do in that regard. I can put together some chords and then apply some EZKeys MIDI to the plain chords and it sounds, at least to my ears, like a pro keyboardist playing my song in whichever style I choose. It also has some great tools to create musical chord sequences to help with writer's block when composing. I don't own Addictive Keys (only Addictive Drums) but I assume it is missing the compositional aspect that EZkeys covers so well.

kitekrazy Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 (edited) I think the only thing the makes the EZ line great is their player. It can be a money pit since their libraries are about styles. Plus they take up disk space. I get plenty of 3rd party emails where their midi prices are a lot more than the sample packs with midis from many producers. I always bite on their $9 midi packs. Some are great and some are so so that are not drums. The EZ key line is the real money pit. Look at all of the synths and pianos you already have and it's their player that's the draw. I was thinking about the Synthwave but just about every synth I have contains synthwave presets. I've bought some sample packs that come with midi, wav, and project demos to load into some DAWs. Those can be used as templates. I did go for the Electronic Pop keys, Jazz and Neo Soul midis. BTW they changed the EULA. It's kinda confusing. Is it for one system or all in your account? INSTALLATION. You (one user) may download, install and use a Product on one computer or on more than one computer only if these computers form a single production unit or constitute separate workstations necessary for the task at hand and belong to the same owner. The number of concurrent installations of a Product is limited by the provisions or authorization process on the Toontrack Music website or the copy protection system included in a Product. If the Product does not have a copy protection system, no more than two concurrent installations are permitted. The number of permitted concurrent installations are subject to change without notice They do things right with distribution which NI still can't get right.

I'm just grateful they're not making it one day only for each sale. This way I can wait and pick and choose what's worth my money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. So Toontrack has set up some dumb consumer psychology. "Don't buy the Day 3 deal, because the Day 7 deal could be better" So the days go by, the money gets spent on other vendors. Other more straightforward sales. This just in: yes, confirmed, this is a first-world problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
