![]() ![]() I realize this is a challenge that no one else has undertaken. The chords are associated to the disconnected MIDI files and no ability to keep them associated to the timeline was accounted for…perhaps even ignored to the point that backtracking and redesign is necessary. Knowing a little bit about software, but not as much as you…the only reason it would be more difficult now is because it wasn’t accounted for early on. If it where, we would have implemented it already □ However, although it seems like a simple thing to fix on the surface, it is not as straight forward as one might think. Possibility to retain the chord progression is one of the things that are high on our feature request list. We are working on a solution but we will not release anything until we are certain that the result achieved is the result that one would expect. As is the case with inversion, there are lots of situations we need to cater for and not all of them are straight forward. To be honest, it would have been much easier if we would have included MIDI where the chords have been simple “one chord per bar” but we wanted to acheive something a bit more… useful. This means that the chord intervals are not fixed but determined by the needs for a particular situation. Different styles, tempos progressions, song parts and so on. If it where, we would have implemented it already □ The songwriting part of EZkeys is based upon having access to lots of MIDI that is played by a real pianist. It was something as easy as that I believed that EZKeys could do. Then start all over again if I don’t like it.Ĭompare to how you can audition various styles in Band in a Box by just double clicking another style. I have to put it right again bar by bar, and finallly paste the whole thing into a track in the DAW to hear what it sounds like with organ. As soon as I pick another clip to audition the whole chord sequence is lost. Presently the whole workflow is slowed down. And if midi was output I could even hear how it would sound with another instrument like an organ. I could then pick various clips from the browser and move them down in the song track to hear how they fit in the whole project. If EZKeys worked as I believed it did when purchasing, I could just have the sequence of chords corresponding to the melody in the DAW inside EZKeys. ![]() I can’t keep copying and pasting to tracks in the DAW just to hear what it sounds like in context with a different instrument. I know, but what I am talking about is auditioning from inside EZKeys while composing an instrument to go along with other tracks in the DAW. Users should have simple dial controls that control velocity, note emphasis, timing and the overall feel to the groove. This would really help wake us some of the sterile sounding midi, especially in the rock or jazz genre. I would also appreciate the addition of a humanize/swing option added to the performance whereas the user can adjust the playback performance of the ‘player’. It might make sense to move it to another tab- so we have an instrument (kit) tab, and then another tab for arrangement. I’d like to see the timeline have more focus, or be given the option to resize it. I have a giant image of the piano, which is nice – but static. For example, the timeline is such a small part of the screen, and a huge part of my work area in the application. ![]() I think it would be better if the scale of the items on screen was more proportiate to use. After playing around with it for a few hours last night, I found that I inadvertently stretched and zoomed the view by mis clicking. I would prefer some UI enhancements to aid in the zoom and scroll functionality within VST. Glad to hear chord inversion is on the short list! I’m truly loving EZ Keys right now! Excellent program!!!! ![]()
