AOR Ballads EZkeys MiDi WiN

P2P | 26.02.2018 | 3 MB

MORE THAN SAD BALLADS. Ballads inspired by the AOR genre. PIANO MIDI FOR EZKEYS: In the late ’70s and all through the mid-to-late ’80s, AOR was at the apex of its popularity. Bands and artists like Peter Cetera, Journey, Foreigner, Toto and many more broke through to the mainstream tier and conquered not only the airwaves but also the movies. Much attributing to this fact were their ballads – big, layered and with a slick, often meticulously produced, rock and instrument-driven foundation somewhat new to the format. The piano-based songs of this era are what laid the foundation and served as the main catalyst for this collection of MIDI for EZkeys. Expect big choruses, creative chord-runs, twists, turns and a world-class player behind the wheel – basically all the signifying traits of AOR as we know it. Start writing!

FANTASTiC | Feb 25 2018 | 1.38 MB

Weave is a 65 preset expansion pack for Tantra showing its ability to introduce a huge range of movement, rhythmic glitches and complex modulated craziness to any kind of audio. Weave’s patches make use of all of Tantra’s effects and modulators in various combinations from dub delays, vast reverbs, mild enhancement of pad sounds to total destruction of drum loops and everything in between. The patches are named for their intended use – DruM, PAD, EFX (general effect), FLT (flter) etc. but some great effects can be achieved by ‘mis-using’ the patches so go crazy and try everything on everything and see what happens.
