Greener pastures? EZ Keys possible alternative

[Billy 86]

I know we’re all frustrated that our pleas over the years for EZK to move into the 21st Century and incorporate some of the truly wonderful features of other Toon products haven’t gotten us anywhere  — can’t tell you how much I wish TT would respond because there’s so much more potential these days.

So, I found this virtual pianist from UJAM that may fill in some gaps. Some are probably aware of it, but now it’s on Black Friday sale for a half price, and try free in full measure for 30 days. https://www.ujam.com/pianist/vogue/

Cheers.

This UJAM product popped up months ago (maybe last xmas).  Fun to play with, but on release that was all it was.  Has some significant limitations.  More of a toy than a tool.  Try the free version but look careful at what you can do and can not do.  Maybe they have upgraded it to a newer version with more features??  Can’t tell from the ads.

Yes.  But aren’t all us EZKeys Mac users out really tired of ToonTracks ignoring all our requests that they make the software work like it should?

I’ve seen complaints go unanswered for over two years.

Seems like they have the passive-agressive thing going with their customer base…”mention a problem and it goes to the bottom of the repair list.  BWAH-HA-HA-HA”

Sure the product idea is really good, but don’t you wish there was a different development team working on it?  Or a least a different product manager??

I mean, like someone who would at least acknowledge that you left a bug report and would just say “Thanks for letting us know.  We’re working on it.  Expect a fix in three months.”

Guess it’s too much to ask for some consideration from this company.

Good points. Simply was intrigued. EZK also has some significant limitations, IMHO. Like I said, could maybe fill in some gaps. Options are always good. A different brush to paint with.

Reaching out for any response on EZK is like hitting a dead note on a piano. Too bad, really.
