Toontrack – Time Machine EKX

Description : Inspired by the shimmering haze of timeless tones that powered the ’80s synth revolution, but reimagined with modern technology, this EKX for EZkeys 2 is a sonic retrospective with a completely new perspective. If you’re looking for sounds clearly rooted in nostalgic charm, yet with modern depth and clarity, this is the perfect complement to EZkeys 2.

The core instrument in this EKX was inspired by one of the most iconic synthesizers of the 80s. Numerous patches were created from it to achieve the best possible sonic range. To further refine each sound, additional sampled hardware synths and effects were added, mixed, and refined to create fresh, unique textures of warm analog tones, perfect for any type of modern pop music. 

In total, the package includes an impressive 80 presets, conveniently organized into four distinct categories: keys, leads and bass, plucked and bell sounds, and pads. Together, this gives you a palette of sounds covering everything from characteristically clear and transparent piano tones to overdriven leads, powerful basses, and warm analog pads—all with a clear nod to the past, yet with a modern approach. As always, each preset includes its own control center, where you can easily adjust key parameters to perfectly suit your mix.

In addition to the sounds, the package includes a MIDI library, unique to this product. For ease of use, each section in each song is categorized using the same terminology as the presets, providing you with the perfect source for auditioning sounds with MIDI settings. 

This add-on reimagines some of the most familiar sounds of the past in new, original forms. If your songs require vintage-sounding synths that are still perfectly in tune with the modern era, this is the option for you.
