Hello from Australia.

Having all the same problems as all these other owners of eZBass.

Suggestion. How about a sub-app that works like ScanScore?

write out the bass line in music notation and drag/drop into EZBass.

Piano rolls don’t cut it for pro musos like myself.

Combining the two would be perfect.

thx. j.

I seem to have a bit of a problem with chord correction.

Example I have some funk grooves that I have selected and the chord names are entirely wrong

Bm7b9add11/D  which is actually a D9 chord which makes more sense because the groove is a simple II V progression  Am7 D9

This I corrected.

The next example is Em7#5. In reality it is E7#9b13, but, when I try to correctly edit the chord name it comes out as E7#9#5. I realize that #5 and b13 are the same note but they imply two different things.  The #5 is an alteration to the 5th of the chord which is interchaingable with b5.

b13 does not imply any alteration to the 5th of the chord.  If I were righting a chord chart for piano or guitar this would be a consideration on how it should be notated.

I have had other issues trying to indicate correct chord names as well.  Just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue.  Maybe I am missing something.

Thanks Rich

Hello There, Greetings from Australia.

First off, I’m using the Piano that comes with EZK2 – a good sign!

The MIDI add-ons are a great resource.

However, the OP and I share the same concern/s about chord input and naming.

I’m not going to repeat the OPs sentiments.

The chord wheel is largely useless if one knows the theory and can read/write music. That’d be me.

A tune’s character has a lot to do with the way the chords are voiced and their voice leading.

All I would like is just a visual virtual keyboard where I can input the voicings/inversions i need for the song in question.

Completely unattached from the Chord Wheel.

The goal here is to have my customized progression superimposed on the RHYTHM only of the MIDI, totally disregarding the note pitches in the pattern, instead using my note organization/voicings.

I’v been doing this with the Piano Roll but it is too fiddley. It’s easier in Logic X.

Also, I’d love to see a basic music notation/readout in a future version. would save a lot of time.

Cheers. j.

hello, i’ve had a similar problem with some of Arturia’s instruments. their piano detunes really badly. been a while, but i think i used “Reset all controllers” to correct it. might work the same with EZKeys2. j.

Hi there,

Yes you are describing my problem exactly.

Most of the time, it works well enough.

However the sync seems to get lost on very complex decrescendos and accelerandos, which i do a lot.

i’ve checked the SD3 tempo readout and it just doesn’t seem to have the resolution for this type of technique.

right now, i’ve a tune where the kick drum wanders in and out of the groove and this is not with the multis, just the stereo.

I’m using Logic Pro.

Regards, John.

Hi, totally agree.

I have just exported the multi-tracks.

Sounds nothing like the stereo mix.

Didn’t expect it to.

I’ll get back when I’ve tested these files a bit more.

Cheers. John.

Hello guys.

I’m a newbie here so don’t be too tough on me. lol.

The OP is correct. I’m using Logic/Mac Pro.

It seems that as soon as one uses multi-outs, the sync between them is off.

And I’m not bouncing, just monitoring thru these from SD3.

Also the sound changes…..

Atm, to get the best result, I’m sticking with the stereo.

I’m going to try soloing each output in the SD3 mixer and simply send it out of the 2 bus as you would with a mix. Obviously taking out any plugins on the 2 bus.

Long and involved. I’ll do the tests and get back.

Regards to all.
