UPDATE: This occurs even if I don’t change the keyboard. I went back to an earlier revision of my project to do my repro steps and it fails from the point I import the EZKeys 1 project using the menu option.

I was able to solve the issue, but it’s a workaround. Still not working as designed if “File > Import EZKeys 1 Project…” is supposed to import a saved EZKeys 1 project. .

What I’ve tried:
1. Reimported the EZ Keys 1 project. RESULT: Still played a single not after the first chord for every chord after that.
2. Select/Cut chords from timeline in EZKeys 1 and pasted into time line on EZKeys 2. RESULT: There are no options to paste into EZKeys 2 what was cut from EZK1
3. WORKAROUND: Created new instance of EZKeys 2 on the target track. Selected/dragged/dropped chords from EZKeys 1 onto timeline in EZKeys 2. This is identified as a single block in the timeline rather than individual block chords as in EZKeys 1, but it does play this way and I can move forward.

Yes I found some “dark patches” when importing some song from EK1 . I’m going from stand alone to stand alone . Only a bar or two very random and not every time I import a song .What’s really weird is when I copy and paste to fill in the missing part that chord is blacked out on the chord wheel . No matter what chord I choose the midi won’t change .So a work around , I can change the midi in the grid editor . So if your crazy , we both are lol

EZK1 > EZK2 import issue.

Hey, we are trying to reproduce the issue you reported. We found another, possibly related, issue but we weren’t able to reproduce your exact issue.

Would you be able to attach one of those EZkeys 1 projects that breaks when you change library/preset in EZkeys 2 after import?

Thanks Petter, I’ll be glad to attach the exported EZK1 project when I get home this evening.

Changing keyboards doesn’t seem to be the catalyst though. The issue actually repros right from the point where I import the project.

The project I exported from EZK1 was a full song of individually inserted chord blocks, i.e., no library midi was applied before exporting.

My typical workflow is to start with a drum loop and block chords to build a skeletal framework of the song first. Then I add all the other instruments (bass, guitar, vocal etc.). Last, I start searching for midi library selections on keys and drums to match the feel I’ve built up with the other instruments.

So of the EZK1 projects I’ll be importing as I switch to EZK2, most of them will be block chords. I hope this helps. I’ll attach the example broken project this evening.

Hi Petter, here is my EZK1 project for your repro test. It was exported from EZKeys 1, for import to EZKeys 2.

On import, everything after the first chord is broken, only playing one note. The chord wheel is also broken and so trying to reselect the correct chord only gives me the same broken sound.

Hope this helps! Thanks for looking into this, friends. Aside from these issues I love the new version! — Wade

Hi Wade, at first glance it looks like your issue also got solved by the fix to Robert’s project. We’ll take a closer look to see if there may be other issues. Thanks!

Thanks Toontrack for the quick follow through! Love EZKeys 2 and these fixes will make our migrations from EZKeys 1 a breeze. Way to go!
