Key signatures and Circle of 5th are literally just two ways of looking at the exact same information. You change the key you change the tonal center. Or the tonal home if you will. Maybe a better way of putting it. Whatever either way changing keys in Ez doesn’t do that.

However you may be correct. That might be just my miss conception of what Ez can do

Buts it all related.  Anyway they will either fix it, add it, or one learns to work around it.

Reading this thread after having posted in others on the same issue, double clicking and changing the key doesn’t work.

For whatever reason it seems that No Matter the Pack, Ez keys is just centering around the major key tonal centers.

If I set my key to F minor I expect to SEE and Fm chord once in awhile not Ab majors everywhere. 🙂

This seems at least for me to be a systemic issue as I have gone thru all my midi packs and tried it and gotten the same sort of results each time.

It looks likes it just taking the midi and transposing to whatever Major key is selected even if you have minor selected.

example, select F minor before I ever drag a midi,  comes out in Ab major, Change key to D major, chords are in D major, change to Em, chords are not in G major.

Now I can manually go thru and change everything but that takes time that Ez keys is supposed to help you avoid 🙂

So I am not convinced the problem is related to a specific midi pack as it is to an issue in the engine itself.

This is running Ez 1.3.0 and all midis show 1.0 with no updates waiting.

Sigh.. this is still a problem. Seems no matter what midi is dragged in it stays in C Major , if you then switch it it just goes to the major key no matter what you choose. For instance

set the song to C Major, drag in a midi, then set the key to Em and the chord just change to the chord in G major… YES I get it…the chords are actually the same but the tonal center is NOT.  If I am in Em then my tonal center is Em and not the G major.

This stays the same no matter what the key you change it to. This is BEYOND frustrating. As this is the very functionality you buy Ez keys or Bass for.

Unfortunately as much as I really love Ez its is becoming less and less useful as I go along.

GOT IT!

For FL anyway follow this part about importing midi automation as well. Odd it doesn’t do both at the same time but this works

I would add another request for a version of this for EzD 🙂  huh and somehow I just stumbled onto the Action EZX which is pretty darn close to this request. hahaha
