Bask in the Celestial Sound of the Dream Machine
An electric piano, celeste, marimba, and xylophone all in one, Toontrack’s Dream Machine EKX is a hybrid instrument expansion for EZkeys 2 that excels in the ethereal. This unique instrument begins with a beautifully modeled electric piano and a twinkling celeste that can either be played individually for more traditional sounds or in tandem to form the Dream Machine EKX’s more celestial sounds. In addition, Dream Machine EKX includes dozens of presets for both instruments, many of which feature mallet percussion and effects from Overloud. The result? A shimmering sound that seamlessly slots into everything from modern pop production to endless shadowy soundscapes.
Note: This expansion library requires a separate installation of EZkeys 2. For more information, call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.

Electric piano, celeste, marimba, and xylophone
So, what makes the Dream Machine EKX tick? There are two main instruments — MK VII. and Celeste — that Toontrack stunningly recreated from top-level examples of an electric piano and a traditional bell piano (think Tchaikovsky’s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”). Alone, they offer professional-grade emulations of their respective real-life counterparts, but, when played together, they form an entirely new instrument: the Dream Machine. While there are dozens of presets to choose from (many featuring supporting roles from marimba, xylophone, and effects from Overloud), the Dream Machine EKX’s sonic signature is a lush, soft, and heavenly sound that you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Sweetwater’s production pros particularly love how flexible the Dream Machine EKX is — from high-energy pop ballads to moody hip-hop beats to ambient soundscapes, the Dream Machine EKX is a wholly unique instrument that’s a worthy addition to any producer’s arsenal.
