New Wave EZKeys MIDI (Download)

"New wave" is notoriously difficult to pin down, spanning late '70s post punk to the synth pop of the '80s and '90s, and few listeners can agree on the exact definition of the genre. But no one can doubt that the acts closely associated with new wave, like Alphaville, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran, made synth-driven pop the predominant soundtrack of an entire era. Their over-the-top melodies, bold visual style and fearless, trailblazing songwriting continue to influence the biggest pop songwriters of today. That's the legacy this Toontrack New Wave EZKeys MIDI pack is meant to capture, with a collection of sounds geared toward that '80s-style melodic pop flair.

This downloadable pack of MIDI sounds is ideal for use with Toontrack's EZkeys String Machine, EZkeys Mellotoon or EZkeys Electric Grand, but the spirit of new wave is flashy experimentation — don't be afraid to use these MIDIs however you want.
