Question on custom variations.

[Carl Clifford]

I own EZ keys Piano & thinking of going for the Classic Electrics.I still haven’t used EZ keys yet although I have it.I would like to know if it is possible for me to feed in my own ‘variations’ via midi as the ones available are very limited.If so is there any tutorial on how to feed in custom variation & style.
Also I would like to know if the EZkeys Classic Electrics come with new style presets & variations or is it just the same that i find on the EZ keys Piano.
People on the forum keep saying that there is no way to change a given chord progression & add our own chords.Is that true? From what I see I think we can change chords.

The standalone EZkeys has a MIDI record feature to play your own piano parts and you can then chop them up in the Song Track and drag them to the Favorites section of the Browser. Or, if you have other piano MIDI, you can drag it onto the Song Track and cut it up and add to Favorites.

EZkeys Electrics comes with sound presets but includes the same Core MIDI as the other EZkeys sound libraries.

Yes, you can add your own chords to the Song Track. See this vid:

Thanks for the reply & for the video.It’s a bit disappointing to find that the EP add on is just a module & has no new midi files & styles.I own a lot of EP VSTs so not too sure if I would invest on that.I would rather go for the style packs instead.
Thanks.

If you’re talking about variations on the included midi files, all you have to do is
– export or drop one into your DAW
– do your variations & save as a midi file.

In EZKeys, MENU -> Browser -> add folder (where you saved the new midi)
It now appears in the Main Browser, and it will show the right chords.

You can do this with any midi file.
I would recommend creating a separate Folder for all your new EZKeys midi files.
