EZ keys as a patch

[tam hewitt-baker]

I am admittedly pretty new to sound engineering but I am having a little difficulty with the patching in of EZ KEYS. I have managed topatch in native instruments guitar rigg no problem. I am using Reaper as a DAW and the way I have been going about adding patches is via the preferences menu- plug-ins – VST. then I add what folder I think it might be that needs to be added. with guitar rig 5 that was just simply clicking the main folder.
I have tried to write some music then drag it directly into Reaper but it doesnt seem to make any sound after. perhaps this is down to changing settings, I dont know.
So, if anyone has any advice on this issue or perhaps could recomend a better software to use with the toontrack range Id be up for learning a new software.
many thanks,
Tam.x

Hi,

I am not sure I follow you correctly but I just add a new Virtual Instrument Track and select the EZkeys VSTi plugin.
I either drag MIDI from the EZkeys Browser to the EZkeys Virtual Instrument Track in Reaper or Record to the Track.
Am I misunderstanding you?

I cannot find EZ keys in the VSTi. How do I add to the list? I cant seem to.

Hi Tam,

I think is this is what you need to do to get your Keys to show up in your DAW….I used the file location of my DAW (reaper) as an example…Hope that helps,

you shouldn’t copy the DLL manually… in the future when you update the plug-in your DAW will still link to the old version. The correct way to remedy the situation, if your DAW does not allow multiple VST paths, is to uninstall EZkeys (all products if you have more than one) and reinstall, making sure to choose the right custom path for the VST in the installer.

Ok, Thanks for the update…

I have several EZ products and many unfinished projects with these as plug ins…Will that still be ok to unistall everything?

And Then When re-installing them, you are saying I should choose my DAW vst path, is that correct?

Cheers, jeff
