Chord Display

[farinnelly]

Hi there!
Why aren’t chords displayed on the piano? I saw the video clips on your website showing the chords which are performed shown where you the sheet music is. I’m using the demo version but I can’t see any chords being displayed. There’s something else: the midi files that I drag onto the song track are blank. I mean, though they play normally there’s no visual information on the tracks as you can see in the picture. All the Best!

The chords are displayed on MIDI input into EZkeys. IOW, if you feed EZkeys MIDI from your host DAW track, it will be displayed. Or, if you play ‘live’ with a MIDI controller using EZkeys as the sound instrument, the chords you play will be displayed.

I’m not sure about why the song blocks are blank, it is probably a demo limitation as you can’t drag and drop the MIDI to your host DAW.

But I’ve seen a video on Youtube where a guy uses a demo EZkeys and the blocks in the song writer are not blank. Isn’t that because of Windows XP then? I just don’t understand!

I don’t know if it’s an XP issue. I guess it could be, or a video card issue. But, you say it plays back fine?

Yes, it does! Hope there’s a solution to this. Looking forward to hearing from you. Keep up the great work!

Can you post a link to the video where the demo is used?

I’m seeing black midi info on my blocks in EZkeys as a demo.
I’m on an iMac using the latest version of Logic.
No idea why you aren’t seeing them as I’m not a tech head, but I can report it working well here.

Wait, what is this about feeding EZKeys MIDI from the host? Is it able to analyze it and change chords there, or what would be the purpose of that?

Yes and no. EZkeys can analyze any MIDI fed into it. Be it ‘live’ from a MIDI keyboard or MIDI already on your MIDI track. What’s the purpose? Players could learn the chord names they are playing.
