If you, for example, want a piano groove that plays in an Arabic scale, you should use a MIDI file that has that play style. Changing the chords in that case keeps the Arabic style
When you use a MIDI file with a scale other than MAJOR or Natural Minor . EZKEYS will automatically round the scale off to either Major or Minor in the way it transposes. And therefore the Chords that you change will be changed based on the Intervals of either Major or Minor . and not Arabic or Phrygian or anything else. . . Thats the problem.
EZKEYS detects the scale of the midi based on Intervals. Currently it only has 2 sets of Intervals. 1 for Major and 1 for Minor … Im just suggesting that they add MORE Sets of Intervals (Scales) so that EZKEYS will have a WAY more accurate MIDI detection result. As well as a Massive amount more results in generation. This doesnt change EZKEYS current principle.
In the meantime, I would suggest that you edit the MIDI in EZkeys as far as you can take it, and then do the final changes by dragging the MIDI to the DAW and using the Piano Roll!
The problem often lyes in the results you get when applying Browser Midi, that Extra note affects results as it changes the Number of Note EZKEYS uses to Calculate the Result of applying the groove/accompaniment.
And with more complex chords, its Not as simple as just Deleting the Lowest Note.
With More Alternate SCALE selections EZ Keys would render even MORE result possibilities .. AND allow the user to have more calculated results in conjunction with the rest of the composition … Modern Music today has settled into the realm of more exotic scale selection … Lydian , Phrygian, Arabic, Harmonic Minor, ect…. Even pitch correction software like Auto-Tune ect has an extensive list of scales to have a more targeted result.
