sonicvizThanks for the “response”. Nice to know my button pushing skills still work at least😉 I feel like a DJ now.
I’m pretty sure EZKeys 2 (or 3) is in the works, and shouldn’t be too far away, tbh.
EZDrummer 3 and EZBass have proven the new UI/UX design approach, and the fact EZKeys is a key part of the “song stem” bundling approach (only in a few genres atm) indicates it is still a key part of the product mix, despite alternatives like Scalar 2 or CC Epic. I have both those too, but tbh I still think EZKeys in even its current form is still better.
>>Toontrack never comments about future development
As a dev myself I can understand not willing to commit to timelines, for multiple reasons, but I think the cone of silence on a product that’s been out this long is a bit silly.
It’s not like the competition can’t look at your website and products to get some idea of your new product direction, is it?
I also can’t believe Toontrack would be stupid enough not to redevelop it, given the new approach to product development, but then if I was that smart I wouldn’t be hanging about on an internet forum berating a plugin dev for some news about an update😂 . I’d be unhappy to be proven wrong!
PS: Please add some humanisation controls to the song track

Thanked by: Jens LarsensonicvizIt’s awful customer service, considering the users responding here probably are amongst the most dedicated TT product buyers, for no one from Toontrack to even bother acknowledging or replying to this thread.
We know you’re reading this. Please respond.
or, if you’re (ie: TT support) are not reading this, that’s even worse!

Thanked by: Jens LarsensonicvizWhat’s a bit annoying about this is we are all obviously long time users of EZKeys + multiple other Toontrack products, but there is no response from Toontrack at all about what is obviously a pain point with this customer group.
Could you (Toontrack) at least say something?
No, it’s not happening. Ever!
Yes, we’re working on it to be released *sometime*.
I’m sure TT isn’t stupid and is working on it, but complete silence is not very respectful to a key user group of your products.
Just saying.

Thanked by: Jens LarsensonicvizIt would be great if you could upgrade the product manager so we could at least see the plugin install path, and there should also be an option to change the location. The product manager should then move the files to the new location.
I see you can move them manually as well: https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-move-the-sounds-for-ezdrummer-2/ , but it’s always good to have that functionality in the product manager itself.
Thanks for the cool tools.
sonicvizI’ve been playing and teaching as long as you (multi-instrumentalist), and I’ve come across it a lot. It’s just another tool among many, in addition to your ears.
Maybe you should get out more?
sonicvizToontrack support told me to post it in the forums, so I have.
Reply from Toontrack support to my original query:
“At this time that is not a feature of EZBass. We will forward the idea to our home office for consideration in future updates. Another way to suggest new products, or to leave feedback on current products, is by posting your suggestions in the Support Forum via the Customer Service > Requests and Feedback section, as the Toontrack development team browse this section every day.”
My bad, as this was the wrong forum. I missed the customer service forum as it was below the fold and honed in on EZBass.
Still, I wasn’t expecting to get argued with about best ways to practice.
Bye.
sonicvizForgive me James but its standard behavior in any midi piano roll to have the option to show the notes (intervals etc)
Tab has the fret number, which is the equivalent of the note in this case. Having the optional ability to add notes/interval to tab wouldn’t be a bad idea either. TuxGuitar does allow you to view the music staff above the tab, if you happen to be a sight reader already.
I’m not sure why you’re trying to be argumentative about it, but please stop – it’s not providing any value.
I’m an educational music app developer myself and the whole point is to make tools more useful for different use cases.
Maybe you should try Scalar2, which has multiple different views for visualizing note data in real time, including a fretboard view which you can change the tuning of on a number of different stringed instruments.
sonicvizIt’s the same as reading tab or CPN in real time with a moving cursor. But you need the information in front of you, and for lowest cognitive load for real time processing it’s ideal to have the notes and/or intervals on the actual notes. Plus you can slow the tempo to whatever you’re comfortable with to either copy the riff or if you’re working around/over it.
sonicvizThat’s not useful at all when you have your hands on your instrument and playing along
