It’s great to have so much instrumentation and variety inside just the one plugin, which can then be output on as many channels as you like. Now that it has been available for some time and that you’ve had the chance to utilize it in your day-to-day work, how has your workflow changed and how has it helped you? Your production also features other Toontrack products, most notably the Orchestral Percussion SDX. Finally, I’ll draw in all the automation, before starting on the mix. Then there is a lot of editing, as a lot of orchestral VSTs have a lot of delays associated with their various legato types. Then it’s orchestration, choosing which instruments play what lines.

This is the layout – the story – of the piece. Next up is the arrangement, which I will do completely within EZkeys. As there are variations in the melodic MIDI, it’s great to experiment with accompanying melodic lines. I will work from the centre out, so main melodic section first, intro and outro second. Tell us what the process normally is like for something like this!įirst I listen to the combined patches, to get a sense of the piece.

For these pieces, you wrote the tonal compositions using the Epic Themes EZkeys MIDI pack.
