What would an exquisite brushed train beat be without the cadenced thump of the bass? A smooth jazz groove without its mandatory walking bassline? A basic backbeat without the accented rumble of the bass to back up its twos and fours? To be honest, a rhythm section without all its cog wheels spinning in perfect symmetry is simply a stumped machine running at half capacity.

The Acoustic Songwriter EZkeys MIDI pack was inspired by the facet of the Americana, indie, folk and pop scene where acoustic instruments are predominantly favored. It's an homage to the likes of Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Marc Cohn, Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, Nora Jones, Tori Amos, John Legend, Fiona Apple, Billy Joel, Regina Spector and the rest of the world's amazing collective of singer-songwriters that have perfected the art of scaling down but still managed to make music that sounds larger than life.
