Toontrack NEW RELEASED MIDI

Jazz Fusion EZkeys MIDI

When traditional jazz fused its melodic and harmonic spontaneity with the rhythmic energy of funk and the spirit of rock, a new genre was born. Although this was way back in the 1960s, jazz fusion as a style has continued to evolve and influence generations of players to this day. Throughout the entire lifespan of this wildly experimental musical journey, the piano has consistently been one of the leading melodic and rhythmic voices.

In this EZkeys MIDI pack, pianist extraordinaire Manuel Valera explores this vastly vibrant musical universe and takes you on an awe-inspiring ride that covers anything from the classic to the more modern. Expect adventurous harmonies, bold note choices and a tapestry of different musical ideas that seamlessly fuse into the one coherent style of music we call jazz fusion.

If you’re ready to make some no-holds-barred-type songs where stereotypical rules and genre norms have no earthly business, this EZkeys MIDI pack is for you.

Foundational Fusion MIDI

Dramatic dynamics, intricate subdivisions, complex rhythmic syncopation, subtle phrasing, nuance, finesse and effortless cadence – in the world of fusion drumming, it’s all of the above, all of the time. Needless to say, this is a genre that demands its drummer. In this pack, Pete Riley (Guthrie Govan, Keith Emerson, Richie Kotzen) explores this wildly faceted style by channeling inspiration from his own decades-long career on the jazz and fusion scene as well as from some of the iconic drummers who’ve made indelible imprints in the history of the genre.

Expect a collection of syncopated, ghost note-ridden and off-beat-heavy grooves and fills that touch on the entire dynamic range from the subtlety of jazz to the bombastic output of rock.

If you’re looking for grooves and fills executed with the remarkable finesse, sophistication and cadence only a great drummer can muster, this is your new fusion go-to.
