Re-using chord sequences?

[dnuttall]

If I read a MIDI into EZKeys, it automatically detects the chords and labels each segment of the song correctly.

If I want to “ditch” (delete) the MIDI but RETAIN the chords, what can I do?
Or is there a way to create a chord sequence in a “text editor” and import that into EZKeys?

I’m only interested in piano at this point.
TIA.

No text editor entry that I know of, but just “delete” the midi and the chords will remain for you to add any midi from the libraries.

You can’t keep the chords without the MIDI on the song track. You can, however, replace the MIDI block without changing the chords. This is done with the “User Browser MIDI” function. This requires you to have the MIDI in the EZkeys browser. You can use MIDI from toontrack, save MIDI from the song track in your User MIDI folder, or add custom MIDI folders.

Select the MIDI on the song track you want to replace, press Use Browser MIDI, select the file you want to replace the MIDI on the song track with and then press Replace

You can also right click a block, and in the menu select Copy. Select another block, right click and “Paste Chords” to only paste the chords to that block.

Doesn’t work, when i paste chords I get an empty chord section.
