The only thing keeping me from buying this program is the fact that it doesn’t automatically compensate for smooth voice leading when you change chords from the default ones in the given files. Has anybody had success manually moving around chords in their DAW to create better voice leading? Does it end up sounding unnatural? Is it more work than it is worth? I really want to be able to go all in with this software, but the voice leading thing is a killer for me.

A couple things –
1. There is now an inversion up/down changer in the chord selection wheel area. If the voice leading is not what you would like it to be, use this first.
2. In your DAW it should be simple to change voices. Select the notes and slide them up or down without changing position in time or velocity. It’s easy in Cubase anyway.

EZKeys is pretty intelligent, but you have to expect to do some MIDI editing to get it where you want usually. EZKeys can get you 95% of the way there or better, but you can’t be completely lazy and expect miracles. That said, I have had amazing results without changing much of anything after I drop it into my host.
