Copy EZ Keys chords to chord ruler in Pro Tools?

[Neale Eckstein]

I often copy the chords from EZKeys 2 into the Pro Tools chord ruler.  However it’s one chord at a time and slow.  It would be great if there was some way to export the chords from EZkeys 2.  Unfortunately, exporting the midi doesn’t really help with the chord naming. Perhaps in some future upgrade there could be a way to export the chord names.

I think I just figured it out. Make an Instrument track in Pro Tools and activate EZkeys or any other instrument plugin. In Pro Tools: View tab, go to Rulers and activate Key Signature and Chord Symbols. Copy the MIDI from EZkeys to the Pro Tools track and select all. In the Event tab, go to Extract Chords from Selection. Pro Tools will do the work for you.
