If you have EZKeys 2 then you don’t need anything more.  The EZK2 library has a wonderful Country Swing in 3/4 selection called At the Ballroom 71 BPM or A tradiional Touch at 100 bpm.  Other than those, there a lots of 3/4 content in the EZK2 library.

Ya, if y0u have a Cmaj7 (C,E,G,B) and you remove the “lowest note”, the chord changes to a Emin.  Or if you remove the highest note the chord changes to a C.  This is what Shootie was saying?  I did not know it would do that, but of course, that would be technically correct.

EZKeys starts their Keyboards at C0 while apparently the m-audio starts at C1.  I think both are a normal conventions.  Should not be a problem.  ??

The only suggestion I can find is to Ctrl D&D each idividual Section from EZK2 to a track in Reaper. Then set time selection for that section, followed by Shift R to create the Region. Then Shift Dbl-Click to Edit in the name of the Region.

This will create a Region in Reaper for each section of the EZK2 arrangement.
A bit tedious but very doable.  Only takes a few minutes for a  complex arrangement.

I see that in Reaper when I have the track muted.

Good idea, here is the midi file. It is ~28 bars of Em 96 bpm.  It loads as Key of C with ONLY C chords in in every bar.

none of this helps my original issue.  This is a show stopper!  I can’t be the only.  The simple and essential feature works fine in EZD1, but no longer in EZD2.  It may be 2.0.2?

Not sure what you describe, is what I have going on.  Your got apparently bad chords.  While I got essentially NO chords.

I have had two problems recently with EZK2.  In both cases I could solve the problem by using EZK1 and then saving the project and exporting the file EZK2, where all was now good.   So can you see if EZK1 works for better  chords?

I reported having out of synch issues with a very similar workflow.  Everything said it was the right tempo but it was out-of-synth.  I only could find a workaround.

OK, I found a workaround – I pasted the midi in EZK1. Then saved the file. Then used “Import EZK 1 porject” in EZK2. And all was now perfectly synched.” 3 hours I will never get back!

But…

Hell, that caused a whole new problem. The chords names are now messed up, not just transposed but some are changed, and I can only assume not for the better! What is going on?  So whle the chord names have changed, the midi data do not.  So on the one hand it still sounds the same, but on the other the chord name is not correct.

Exactly same results as you!  Guess we need someone who knows the answer to your question. I did confirm it works well in EZD3 Bandmate?  By the way, I have over 18 Add-On Packs .  So no shortage of Midi content.

Of couse not. Both EZKeys 1 and EZkeys 2 work side by side.  The proper install is done by the product manager software.  Then be sure Reason is seeing the proper VST3

[jazzmandan]

Its weird, you to drag the midi to the middle row in the song file area to see the chords.

 

So I find I have to drag both the midi file to the lower row to see the midi, and to the middle row to see the chords and the top row to name the section.  Strange workflow.  I think I just need to figure out want is going on.

[jazzmandan]

Can you upload the audio file here so we can try?

[jazzmandan]

BEST ANSWER

Yes

 

R Click on the midi in the song track, then select “Find”, then select  “Select Containing Folder in Grooves”
