Hi Peter, that works, but it’s nearly as tedious as correcting the notes in the piano roll. If I have, separately, all the correct chords and all the correct notes, is there no way to merge the two without having to do a bunch of manual work?

I still don’t understand where those B notes come from. I can see how E going to D in a single bar could be analyzed as an Em7, but when I drag a D chord over those D notes, why would it change them to Bs? If it is trying to transpose what was the 7th factor of Em7 to fit what is now a D chord, why would it choose B, the 6th/13th factor of D? The 7th factor of D in G major is C—still a poor choice, but one I could at least understand.

I don’t understand where those E notes in bar 2 come from either. In this case, I can’t even see how G going to C could be analyzed as a G chord, since C is the 4th/11th factor of G. Then when dragging a C chord over the C notes, it changes them to Es—the 3rd factor of C. Why the 3rd?

Please help me understand the logic here. It looks like it subtracts 1 from the factor of the old chord to choose the factor over the new chord, so the 7th of Em becomes the 6th of D and the 4th of G becomes the 3rd of C. That can’t possibly be what is going on, so I must be misunderstanding something.

Hi John, thanks for taking a look at this.

Attached EZbass project:

– Bars 1–2: bassline, E-D-G-C (two beats each)
– Bars 3–4: chords, Em-D-G-C (two beats each)

Drag the chords over the bassline or the bassline over the chords. Either way, it changes the bassline to E-B-G-E.

If you need the original MIDI, I can trim and send minimal files, but this project should reproduce the bug I’m seeing.

I was really hoping someone would just tell me I’m doing it wrong. I wasn’t expecting universal agreement and the silent treatment from Toontrack.

Hookpad is buggy too (you’ve seen some of my bug reports, fossile), but at least it does what it says on the tin.

No wonder they’ve been slacking on the EZbass MIDI releases—I bet it bugs out on them too.
