I’m having the same issue. I read the response from Toontrack here on this forum, and I am still confused. I get it that the chords in Am are the same in C major. Understood. However, to briancullen85’s point, if you want to explore the A minor tonal center, having EZ Keys focus on the 1st degree of the major scale, in this case C major, does not achieve that effect. What it’s doing is keeping the song in C major but calling it A minor. They are not the same thing as the tonal centers are, in both cases with EZ Keys, C major. It’s like if I wanted to have a song in E Phrygian, because of its darker minor tone, I would want Em to be the tonal center and not C major. But EZ Keys would still focus on the 1st degree, C major and thus its Ionian tonality. EZ Keys should adapt to the change in major to minor better than it does. So, I think, briancullen85 is correct. EZ Keys does not account for major to minor. I find this very frustrating.

Beyond this, EZ Keys, and the whole EZ product is fantastic. Please fix this one issue, and you would have an unparalleled product. Right now, your competitor, Captain Chords, does account for major to minor, and also allows for the other modes as well. I wish EZ Keys did the same.
