I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. It is a “work-around” and you have to think like a bass player. I am a keyboard player, I think like a keyboardist. When a bassist is playing a line for a chord, he is thinking about it differently than I would as a keyboardist. THAT unpredictability of the bassist mindset is what we are looking for in addition to not having to try to tweak almost every intermediate chord. As you can imagine, and may have experienced, this can be time consuming. It would save a lot of time for the bass player to hear the chords being play and he just accompany it playing the right bass note – just as we would expect from a true player
Can you imagine hiring a bass player and you have to show him what to play when playing anything other than basic chords? That player would be fired so quickly…LOL. All jokes aside, we do get the work-around. I am sure everyone has been doing that, including myself.
We just want the bass player to be able to play. I am a gospel keyboardist who plays pro-level chords all the time. Right now, with all the nice grooves our bass player (EZBass) can play, his chord vocabulary is at the basic level and we are asking Toontrack for a bass player (to upgrade/teach our player) to not only play super nice grooves as it currently does, but, to also understand and properly play at the advanced chordmanship level.
EZBass right now is an entry level player as far as chords is concern.

Thanked by: Scott Hopkins and Mistro49Yea – I agree. I’m a bit disappointed. I got EZbass thinking that I could incorporate it in my production and just realized that it only has basic major and minor chords.
I know ToonTrack listens to its customers – that I know for sure. So, I am putting a hold on EZBass right now or just manually create my bass line until ToonTrack update EZBass to include ALL chords. It should not be limited to only TWO TYPES OF CHORDS (MAJOR AND MINOR). No one creating fusion, pop, jazz, gospel, rock, etc. will tell you their songs only include basic major and minor chords.
In any case, I am looking forward to any updates.

Thanked by: st_1THIS IS WHY WE LOVE You guys!!!! You listen and execute!!! I will pick this up after work today.
I haven’t listened to it yet, but, just the simple fact that you guys followed up, did it for me!!!
Yes PLEASE Toontrack bring us the Gospel SDX. I have been waiting for this for YEARS!!! The gospel musicians and song writers are in DIRE NEED for this.
I, NAD MANY OTHERS, have been trying to put together gospel songs with the other packs; but, GOSPEL NEEDS its own line. The other packs just cannot do. It’s a bit frustrating.
PLEASE!!!!!!
I’m having the same issue where Pro Tools crash on start up or if I add the EZbass plugin to a track in a session.
Please, do let us know when the update is available. I’m stuck on a current project I already did a lot of work laying down the bass line and cannot continue.
Thank you,
