    Hi Randy,

    I moved your post and got you access to the registered users section.
    Which version number is reported in the plugin?
    Are using any kind of host or is it standalone?

    Thanks John,
    I’ve attached 3 screencaps that should answer any questions.
    The one named “installed” includes the updates I installed from my account
    “Version” is the reported version and “slash chord display” shows me holding a C/G but the GUI displaying a C.
    This is all in the standalone. I just now opened an existing project in my host (Sonar X3e) and I get no sound or display from EZkeys when playing my controller. It plays the existing file fine but no realtime display of chords although I’m showing MIDI input and the track is configured correctly.

    Thanks again,
    Randy

    Hi Randy,

    versions look OK.
    The Chord is a ‘C’ to me. The notes ‘C’ and ‘E’ with a ‘G’ is just that.

    If EZkeys is not responding with sound or displaying chord analysis in Sonar, you need to check the MIDI routing to the track holding the plugin.

    CEG in that order is indeed a C chord…GCE is a C chord with a G in the bass, otherwise known as C/G.
    Before I installed the update EZKeys would display C/G when playing that chord in the screencap (or any other slash chord)
    Also it does this in stand-alone.

    The implementation is that when the g is within the c’s and the e’s octave it will be seen as one chord – a C (an inversion). If the bass note G is moved down one octave, it will be treated as a C/G chord, since the G is more obviously a bass note that in a greater way colors the chord.

    It’s this way because when changing chords on the track, we have separate controllers for the inversion and for the bass note.

    My bad John, I was thinking the older version showed it in the same octave or the inversion but I guess you’re right sir.
    So is it my imagination too that the real time GUI isn’t expected to show chords played from the timeline player (sorry I haven’t had a lot of time with it yet and just want to make sure the update is performing as well as the older version).
    Much thanks,
    Randy

    Sorry, I missed your follow-up question there. The real-time display does not show the chords on the timeline, no, they are displayed on the timeline.

    And it would be rather redundant if they did show…I guess I was just thinking that the prior version did.
    Thanks again John,
    Randy
