Why would anybody want to waste their money on an overgrown tablet that takes up too much space and has only one functionality?

You would get far more mileage out of an iPad or iPad Pro. And in combination with Splashtop, or any other remoting type of app, you can then control both Logic and SD3 on your Wi-Fi.

Hi Phil Angus,

In which program did you adjust these settings? Is there anything like that for Logic Pro?

There are a few ways to do this in Logic Pro, with the easiest of all being to open your Project Settings and select Midi, followed by the Input Filter tab.

Note however, that this will filter all control changes from every device. If you need something a little more granular, you can either create a real time transformation in the Environment window, or a JavaScript midi FX.

You can create a default project with them on.

Yes, you can do this. Once you get your midi into EZ keys, you can then mess with the chord progressions using the circle of fifths tool and use the midi with EZK over your progressions.

I haven’t experienced anything like this either. If you can provide some confirmed steps, that would be helpful.

That is essentially what I am doing at the moment. Thank you, Scott, for looking into this.

I only have a precious few songs that I have re-recorded over and over as technology changed. My only incentive for the ones that I had re-mixed over again was because of drums like The Rock Foundry breathed a while new life into them. Other than that, the rest of my songs serve as lessons, even if it is what not to do.

As far as the 25 goes, these are songs that I either haven’t mixed yet, were incomplete, or were still in the idea phase and I was entertaining my new found confidence playing bass. Only one of those was built from scratch, and even then it was an experiment where I picked a groove and was pondering what I could do on bass.

You change the key you change the tonal center. Or the tonal home if you will.

This is not only incorrect, but is a myopic view of key signatures as well. Key signatures are basically a rule as to how a scale or progression would sound. However, western diatonic key signatures embodies seven tonal centres within it, all depending on which note of the major scale you begin with. Stating whether a key signature is the major or its relative minor does not define the tonal center. The progression itself defines the tonal  center.  The key signature is just a rule as to how that tunnel centre is supposed to sound. Most of the midi packs, or at least the ones that I have, are only representing two most popular tonal centres within a key signature. They are not the only ones, and I am willing to bet that if they were done in a midi pack, people as yourself might view them as incorrect. I witnessed some examples on some of the audio production forums where people stated that the solo was tonally wrong, but it wasn’t because it started on a more unusual note in the scale.

Whatever either way changing keys in Ez doesn’t do that.

It changes the key, as it should. It doesn’t change the progression that is relative to the key. Nor would I want it to, especially if I had a progression based on something other than the major or its relative minor.  If I had crafted a Phrygian (songs like opening of Space Oddity) or Mixolydian (songs like Sweet Home Alabama) or the unlikely Locrian (opening of YYZ) progression there is no way I would want them altered as they are still relative to whatever key signature is represented and are very relevant.

$29USD from this part of the world as well. Are you sure you’re not looking at an EZX or other expansion pack?

It would always help to know what key your song is in and match it within EZ Keys. That way, the browser Midi would remain somewhat predictable for your progression (unless you want to get experimental and see where something goes as far as modal characteristics to the absolute freaky)

Hardly systemic. DAWs behave exactly the same: they treat the major/relative minor key signature as one.

Changing a key signature is not about the tonal centre. Circle of fifths is. Changing the key signature will transpose the progression, not transmogrify it into a minor key all of a sudden. It would be no different if you transposed the region manually in the region property.

Sounds more like a case of unmet expectation from a piece of MIDI software than a bug. Probably best to submit it as a feature request and see if they’d be willing to take up the challenge.

As far as the OP’s issues, I can confirm that the Horror MIDI is doing the same thing. All of the other packs are not. I’ve managed to work around it transposing it manually. It’s definitely not a program issue in this case.

There is no best style. If anything, use a style that suits you best. EZ Keys it’s pretty flexible that way. If anything, I wind up approaching it from many angles. Sometimes I will have played a track on my DAW and will record it into EZ keys from there and then replace it with some of the Midi through the browser. Other times, I have found myself drawing in chord progressions and adding the playing styles to them. Other times, I will Drag some midi to the timeline and use the circle of fifths to change the chords. I find no single workflow works better than the other. It’s really a case of what works best at that particular moment.

The real question is if you are using SD3 as a plug-in within Logic, or as standalone.

It’s definitely not all at once. There are some new songs and some songs that were born out of ideas that were sitting on my hard drive for sometime and some songs that I just felt I could do better on bass. I have been using the past six months to improve my bass guitar technique and had noticed that I did not like the bass guitar track that was on the one song that I wanted to complete. One thing led to another over the past few weeks, and before I knew it, I found myself with 25 songs with bass guitar tracks, including two that I made from grooves out of midi packs that people were complaining about on the forum. So, now I am in a better spot to get some songs out, and with lock down, I don’t have any excuses.

We’re back in lockdown… time to rock down!

Added bass tracks to 25 songs. Hoping to get a few completed. Sometimes, seeing your 324 songs posted gives me the challenge I need to git ‘er done!
