I’d like to see a B3 as well, but I think that may come later if at all, for these reasons:
1. The existing MIDI is more likely to work with an electric piano like a Rhodes or a Wurlitzer than with a B3. Organ playing style is another step removed from traditional piano. I’d expect to see a Rhodes or a Wurly before a B3.
2. Emulating a B3 is much more complex than emulating a piano or electric piano. Many more variables, though I’m sure TT are up to the task.
This is just my guess and may ultimately bear very little resemblance to reality.

I too wish for a B3 more than anything else here. But I guess you are right about them not doing it soon.
In the meantime they could at least give us a midi out so that I could use EZK to drive the organs and other stuff I already have. But unfortunately I too have to guess they wont do that because some of us then migh prefer other instruments than the ones Toontrack provide.

I’m like…psychic, right?

Now the next thing simply has to be a B3. I can’t imagine they will sample a harpsicord or some other ridiculous keyboard instrument.
Alternatively give me a midi output from EZKeys to drive any synth/sampler. Yes, that would bypass the compulsary Toontrack instruments and then we might not buy the Rhodes from them etc. So it will never happen. I could, of course, just use the chord track in Cubase or Rapidcomposer, but none of these does such a good job of interpreting and transposing midi tracks as EZKeys does.
Thank you very much. I just tried it out with a couple of Kontakt instruments, and it works just fine.
Now EZKeys has become what I thought was when I bought the very first release. After the updates it can now remember the chords you entered for your song, and it can drive any instrument through midi. Excellent.
In fact I only have one minor feature request left. That concerns the circle of 5th wheel. It often covers the next chord when you want to enter chords for several bars. So you have to close down the wheel, then choose the next chord. It would be a lot faster entering chords if the wheel had handles and could be moved along the bars.
… I will still buy your B3 once you get around to producing it, even though I can now play the NI organ stuff to great satisfaction.
My request is for the next product to be “EZFrets”. I’m a pretty good keyboard player and don’t really need EZKeys. I love the concept and the execution though. Now I just need the same thing only for acoustic and electric guitars. I own quite a few guitar libraries and they sound pretty good. However, it takes quite a while to create a convincing guitar part. What I need is MIDI of different styles and licks in order to make a guitar part happen quickly and professionally. EZKeys has given the non-keyboardist access to great keyboard sounds and MIDI. Now keyboardist like myself need a solution for guitar parts.
Apart from the real thing the most convincing Gtr is when they use real sampled licks and phrases, there are all sorts of subtle yet important nuance that scripting can only hope to replicate part of. EZK at this point does not have any scripting like Kontakt.
Steinberg virtual Gtr does it(with no Scripting) but it is all pre recorded audio in every key and time stamped for locking it to different tempos and you are really just telling it what chord to play.Sure TT could take that and run with it but that is not the same EZK way of working with samples across the Keyboard and simply midifiles.
Love to hear TT comment on this i know they do not comment on future releases but this is more can it be done not will it be done,
so perhaps they could clear this .
Well, what can I say? You are right Juicy. Gtr is much harder than Piano.
Even organ is harder than piano. Piano is probably about the simplest
thing you can do with a sampler and MIDI.

Hmmm…with the recent releaese of the funk MIDI, I’m longing for a Hohner Clavinet. Might work with a B3 as well.
