I'm thinking about buying EZKEYS, but have questions

[Ketil Ervik]

I’m thinking about buying EZKEYS. But before I do this I have some technical questions.

Have another question first:
I have EZdrummer2 today which I find very useful. But can I use midi files to build new songs in ezdrummer? so I can load midi files from Swedish dance music and traditional old dance / accordion music, drums, polka, etc.

So to the questions I have about EZKEYS.
1
I am considering buying EZKEYS. But how do I synchronize EZKEYS with ezdrummer?

I use Mixcraft 8 pro studio. Maybe a stupid question from someone who has worked with gm and gs for over 21 years live! But it’s been a few years now and I have to make sure I can build new midi files with these two programs.

2.
Can I use keyboard parts from other midi files in EZKEYS?

3.
And I want to use Sweet midifile player for playlist and for full control for live playing with keyboards to sing. Or is there another alternative to a Sweet midifile player here?

Hoping for a quick response

It depends on what you use Sweet MIDIfile Player for. In EZkeys, you can add folders to the browser so your MIDI files are accessible directly in the Browser of EZkeys. In there you can preview the MIDI files, and drag them to the song track, or (the most powerful feature) use Use Browser MIDI to directly preview the MIDI files with the current chords on the song track.

Hi Ketil,

if you have drum MIDI files that are GM compatible, you can put them in the ‘My MIDI files’ folder.

If you navigate to it in the Browser and click the drop-down menu (small down-pointing arrow) there is a entry for ‘Open in Finder/Explorer’.

When this folder opens in the Finder/Explorer, you can put GM compatible drum MIDI files in there.
You can also create folders inside this folder, e.g. ‘Polka’, ‘Schottis’, ‘Waltz’.
GM MIDI files containing other instruments than drums will not play back as expected.

BR,
John
