feed EZkeys GrandPiano with Midi-files directly from Ableton Live?

[ozed]

hey there,

I wonder, if it’s possible, to feed EZkeys GrandPiano directly with self-made Midi Files from Ableton Live via Drag and Drop? (in the DAW)
It works, to export a midi-files from Ableton and import in EZkey GrandPiano, but it would be so much easier to work without exporting from Ableton.

does that work? or is it on me, that I can’t get it?

nice greets to everyone.

Hi,

drag-and-drop from host directly to the EZkeys Song Track is not supported by all hosts. This may also differ from one host version to another, i.e. not something Toontrack can fix. You need to address the host manufacturer for supporting MIDI file d-n-d to plugin.

BR,
John

Hi,

I tried EzKeys demo on Cubase 6.0.5… I hoped it worked, but unfortunately d&d from cubase to EzKeys didn’t work for me.  Anyone tried it on the EzKeys product version? 
This has been a blocking factor for me.

Thanks!

What I do is treat EZkeys as a virtual instrument.
I’ve done quite a bit just using EZkeys piano sound played by my midi in Ableton.
I’m not sure what you would gain by dropping your midi into the EZkeys midi player?

No, drag and drop from Cubase into any VSTi isn’t available. Cubase doesn’t allow it (at least not in the latest version of Cubase…maybe with Cubase 7) and it isn’t an EZKeys malfunction. For those host that allow that function, it works.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the reply.  I hope Cubase will support that soon…

Whitten, D&D from DAW host to EzKeys would let you to experiment another chord progression on your existing tracks, without a hustle.  Also, that would be an easy way to expand the favorite library (I haven’t tried though, as I’ve only used the demo version).

Even if you cannot drag directly from the host you can usually drag to
the file browser/finder and then from there into EZkeys. /Olof W
