EZKeys chord export function

[Alexander Pfeffer]

I like EZKeys. It’s always an inspiration to write songs that I wouldn’t otherwise compose like this.

But it would be a great help if you could export the chords with three or four notes in an extra midi file. The chords are, as it should be, partly really complicated. (I don’t mean the normal midi export function)

Such an implementation can’t be difficult? Is this coming in a new version?

Greetings

To show a small example.

I find it difficult to play this Latin chord sequence as strings (for example as the basis for an arpeggio).

If you could simply drag the chord notes into the DAW, this would be a great work simplification for me!

Technically, dragging and dropping chords can’t be that difficult?

You can…if your DAW allows it.

Hello Scott,

Logic Pro, Live 10 are my DAWs.

How does exporting chord progressions as a midi file work? << I don't mean the export of the rhythmic midi file.

Well, there is no standard for handling chords per se, so it is like you said Alexander, the way to do this is to use MIDI that plays the chords.
You can do like this in EZkeys:

– When you have all your chords on the track; select all MIDI song blocks
– press the Use Browser MIDI
– Go to the first folder (EZkeys MIDI/Single Chords/Sustained Chords/variation 01)
– there are also other play styles that may suit you better, this is the standard, first position, three note chord
– press the Replace button (beside the Use Browser MIDI button)
– this will replace the play style of the song track with minimal, sustained chords
Now you can drag the MIDI to the DAW.

If you want your old play style back, press the Undo button once – below left corner of the EZkeys song track…
