EZkeys MIDI inspired by hook-driven new wave and synth-pop of the ’80s through to today.
That hit songs benefit from strong melodic hooks is nothing new, but when it comes to the likes of new wave and synth-pop they’re pretty much mandatory. Who among the the Generation Xers that grew up in the ’80s during the heydays of these genres can honestly say that they weren’t smitten by the addictive synth leads, the urban industrial vibes and the full-on cultural wave that followed? The inherent darkness of New Order, Depeche Mode, Blondie and The Cure hit with equal force regardless of whether you asked for it or not. And like always, art and expression seem to revolve around the axis of the earth to come and go periodically. Now that we’ve entered the third decade of the new millennium, we’re very much back – right smack in the ’80s again.
This EZkeys MIDI pack was inspired by the wealth of artists from the scene’s budding ’80s through to the second wave of today’s resurgence. It especially hones in on the darker side of things and aims to deliver all the tasty hooks and gritty feels you need for the ultimate battery of synth-pop ideas.
In this EZkeys MIDI pack, chords and melodies were organized in separate folders. In effect, it will be super convenient for you to mix, match and add fitting sounds to different parts. Chords and their matching melodies are organized in the same order in their respective folders.
