I’m thinking of purchasing EZKeys 2, and am trying to research pros and cons. Unfortunately, I can’t access “EZKeys 2 Help” unless I’ve already bought EZKeys 2 ?????
There appears to be way more info in the “Help” forum than is in the “Pre-Sales” section. Why are Toontrack hiding the most important forum for potential buyers?

Thanked by: Steve JohnstonBecause they do not want potential customers to read about all the issues users are posting about.
Martin, I have to say, that was my first thought.
I can’t, for the life of me, think of another reason why Toontrack wouldn’t want potential purchasers checking out the “Help” forum. As I said before, there’s far more useful info there.
It’s a given that there are users of any product that will have issues with it – that wouldn’t put me off purchasing a product. However, what does put me off purchasing, is the feeling that a company is deliberately trying to hide something.
Are “cracked” plugins still a thing?
Maybe the restriction is so that someone that is using a “cracked” version of a Toontrack plugin can’t go the “Support” forum and get support for their cracked plugin and waste support’s time.

Thanked by: Robert GarciaThanks for your reply, Scott.
I’ve no idea if “cracked” plugins are still a thing. I guess that no matter how sophisticated copy protection systems get, there will always be those that try to circumvent those systems.
However, I’m a musician and hobbyist photographer, and use many associated forums. I don’t know of another s/w company that prohibits the general public from reading their help forums. Official Pro Tools, Cubase, and Adobe forums are available for all to read.

Hi Steve ;
All I can say as a user of EZK1 for 8 years and I’ve had EZK2 since day 1 . I had 1 issues with ED3 trial and they got back to me in 3 hours and it was user error my fault . I only joined the forums to tell the guys who built EZ2 how much I was enjoying their new software . About day 3 I noticed a very random bug and reported it . In a very short time they said they couldn’t reproduce the bug , could I send them the file with the bug . I did and within hours they told me they had fixed it and it would be in EZK2.1 and thanks . I have rarely if ever seen a team like these guys while reading this forum . And I repeat to you Steve this is my favorite Midi tool , music creation , songwriting gizmo ever .

Hey folks,
What is the difference between EZK1 expansions and EZK 2 expansions besides the price? As a long-time customer I have a sizeable investment in the former expansions. I am having trouble finding a “chart” or any other device that compares the two. Any help would be appreciated. Thx
Steve
