    Anyone?

    Is there another place than the Time Signature drop down from which I could select 3/8?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    there is no 3/8 option, so you haven’t missed anything.
    I am neither a programmer nor particularly musically schooled but in general, 3/8 suggests a higher tempo than 3/4 would, right? I think that something like that is the reason for not having that option, since EZKeys isn’t notation software and the practical use wouldn’t be that great in EZkeys.
    But if you feel it must be there, please suggest it in the Requests & Feedback section.

    Hello

    You can set your host to any time signature and the EZkeys will follow (if Follow Host button is activated). The best matching signature to use is probably 6/8 in EZkeys in that scenario.

    This problem is noted and we will see what we can do about it in the future.

    Thanks guys!

    That’s not a major drawback but I’m sometimes using EZKeys to analyze a piece of music I’m working on (it does a great job at recognizing chords :-)) and the last one I studied was in 3/8.

    Even when setting 3/8 in the host, the display in EZKeys, in terms of measures, remains incorrect so it made my “analysis” a little bit more painful than if this time signature has been available.

    I wasn’t sure if the only available ones were from the drop down menu of if there was a (hidden) configuration somewhere else so thanks for clearing that up.

    The hosts (Cubase, Logic etc) won’t “share” what time signature they are set to, so plugins can’t know that unfortunately. The BPM is shared though, so when you set that in the host, the plugins (EZkeys, EZdrummer etc) will adopt to that!
