Creating EZ keys style

[Jack 007]

Bought EZkeys quite a while ago, and rarely used it.

 

Now i have several great MIDI files with various piano styles. Great riffs, breaks, comping, and soloistic stuff included.

What is the best way of getting stuff into EZkeys?

A preferred chord sequence? Any way of addressing breaks, solos, general comping etc? thnks.

EZkeys version: 1.3.0
Operating system: Windows 10

Set up a MIDI track in your DAW and arm the track to record. then make that tracks input EZ Keys-1 and input Ez Keys -1. Your playing is then recorded on the song track.

Operating system: macOS Mojave (10.14)

There is no best style. If anything, use a style that suits you best. EZ Keys it’s pretty flexible that way. If anything, I wind up approaching it from many angles. Sometimes I will have played a track on my DAW and will record it into EZ keys from there and then replace it with some of the Midi through the browser. Other times, I have found myself drawing in chord progressions and adding the playing styles to them. Other times, I will Drag some midi to the timeline and use the circle of fifths to change the chords. I find no single workflow works better than the other. It’s really a case of what works best at that particular moment.

PS it is still not really clear if i should use a preferred key for the import; this for creating a user style …

It would always help to know what key your song is in and match it within EZ Keys. That way, the browser Midi would remain somewhat predictable for your progression (unless you want to get experimental and see where something goes as far as modal characteristics to the absolute freaky)

Hi. I want to make sure I’m clear on what you are saying. If I have third-party midi piano files, I can import those to a midi track in my DAW (or sketch out chord progressions for a song on my Midi keyboard and record Midi in my DAW) and then record those DAW Midi tracks into the EZ Keys song track and work from there in EZ Keys?

Yes, you can do this. Once you get your midi into EZ keys, you can then mess with the chord progressions using the circle of fifths tool and use the midi with EZK over your progressions.
