Release notes for EZkeys 2.0.3

2023-11-28

EZkeys 2.0.3 is now available to download using the Product Manager or from the ‘My Products’ area in your Toontrack account. Please note that version 2.0.3 is required for the support of EZkeys sound expansions (EKXs) released from this point forward (Q4 2023).

 

CHANGES

General

“Notifications” are a new type of dialog used to display information and/or suggestions for operations in certain situations. They can be disabled in Settings.

Attempting to play the song track while there are chords but no MIDI on the track will trigger such a notification, informing that MIDI is needed to actually hear sounds, and it has a button for instantly adding MIDI to the chords on the track.

 

Song Track

Placing an external MIDI file on the song track will show a new dialog with MIDI import options.

The song track can now automatically scroll if needed while the Pencil tool is being used to add blocks.

MIDI block operations, such as Mute and Quantize, are now available also if only song parts or chords are selected, as long as there are some MIDI blocks beneath.

The “Song Parts,” “Chords” and “MIDI” headers, shown in the middle of the track during drags and when the Pencil tool is active, are now hidden whenever they would overlap with a song part, chord or MIDI block.

Right-clicking in the time signature editor will now show an edit menu.

 

Edit Chord View

An information popup has been added for the “Keep Melody/Ostinato” option when it is active.

Changing chords by clicking in the chord wheel now removes the bass note part of the chord if “Keep Melody/Ostinato” is enabled.

When “Keep Melody/Ostinato” is enabled, “Adjust Notes to Scale” is automatically enabled for chords that are not in the current song key.

“Adjust Notes to Scale” is automatically enabled for IV chords.

When inversions are applied and the inverted notes are moved as much as one octave, now the other right-hand notes are moved one octave too. Inversion can now also alter chords that don’t have any chord notes in them.

 

Grid Editor

The pedal block editor now supports rectangular marquee selection.

 

Grooves Tab

Previewing in Replace MIDI mode, there is no longer a playhead visible in the browser (since it was not always able to show a correct/relevant position) but the playhead on the song track has been made larger.

Changes in user MIDI folders in the OS will now be immediately detected and a red notification dot will be shown on the folder in the Grooves tab, indicating the need to run a “Sync File Changes” operation (available in the context menu for the folder).

If an empty folder in a user library is selected, a “Drag MIDI files here” box is shown.

 

Bandmate

The Edit menu has been expanded with more options.

A context menu can now be accessed by right-clicking anywhere on the tracks.

Whenever the current filters/input would yield zero results in the Bandmate browser, there will now always be a very basic groove shown instead of an empty list.

 

Settings

In the VST 3 format, there is a new info section regarding Program Change and Bank Select on the MIDI Input settings page.

 

BUG FIXES

General

Instantiating the plug-in in a DAW and immediately selecting “Open Project” from the File menu should no longer show the “do you want to save” dialog.

Opening a project with different selections in the browser than before would cause the project to immediately be marked as modified (triggering the “do you want to save” dialog if for example “Open Project” was selected again).

Loading a new project while a native file/folder selection dialog was open could cause a crash.

Trying to load an EKX that no longer exists on disk should no longer crash.

 

Song Track

MIDI blocks with sustain could affect playback of other blocks earlier on the track.

Removing notes from the beginning of a block by resizing it, then adding a note in the Grid Editor so that the block is expanded back to the left, the old notes would appear again.

Changing chords could cause notes to overlap. Overlapping notes will now be removed if a chord is different from the original chord.

In arpeggio chords, inversions could end up moving right-hand notes on top of or below left-hand notes.

Recording from a MIDI instrument while looping in a DAW could incorrectly cause the “similar MIDI detected” dialog to appear.

Drag-repeating a deselected MIDI block when some other block was selected would repeat the selected block instead of the one clicked on.

Hovering over a chord edge with the mouse and deleting selected chords could cause a crash.

Using tempo ramps could potentially lead to the playhead getting stuck during playback.

On Mac, Ctrl plus left mouse button did not work to open context menus on song parts and chords.

Fixed a crash related to bad MIDI files.

Turning the Amount knob could cause a crash if MIDI blocks were in unsnapped positions.

The Amount knob could end up in a state where resetting it back to 0 did nothing.

The keyboard shortcuts for moving the playhead did not work properly with time signatures other than 4/4.

At startup of the plug-in/standalone, if the default project had an active loop area, the loop button was not toggled on.

Clicking Octave Up or Down in Edit Play Style so that the clicked button became disabled would in some DAWs make the plug-in lose keyboard focus.

Undoing/redoing muting a MIDI block would not graphically update it, unless it was below/inside a Song Part block.

 

Edit Chord View

Clicking outside the chord editor did not close it in all cases.

The “Adjust Notes to Scale” button didn’t have a tooltip.

The chord preview didn’t play the correct notes in some cases.

During chord preview, the sustain pedal would sometimes not be released at the end, causing the previewed chord to ring longer than desired.

The inversion and the octave were not possible to edit as text (except inversion when it was “Auto” but then it didn’t work to write “0”).

The Inversion Down button would never get greyed out if the lower limit was -1.

 

Keys Tab

Changing the tuning was not possible to undo.

 

Grid Editor

The program could freeze when applying Humanize in some cases.

Auto-scroll in the Grid Editor would not work after marquee selection had been used.

Nodes in the CC and pitch curve editor would under certain circumstances be skipped (most notably causing the sustain pedal not to trigger correctly).

 

Bandmate

“Select Containing Folder in Grooves” would not be enabled in the context menu if the loaded output groove did not exist in the visible groove list.

Using the keyboard to switch away from the Bandmate tab when the chord editor was open would leave the chord editor open over the new tab.

Pressing stop to rewind would only move the playhead but not scroll the view to the start.

The track timeline in Bandmate could under certain circumstances become very strange, having the first bar not positioned at the beginning, and that could lead to freezes.

Selecting a new audio source file did not properly update the loop area.

If I recall correctly, when calculating the price they subtract 70% of what you have actually spent on the plugins in that bundle. So if you buy the Mixing Bundle, the price of the Complete Bundle should be €1049 - (€324 * 0.7) = €822. You would then spend €1146 in total for the Complete Bundle.

Please someone check my math.

Many thanks! So no point in buying "small" bundles to reach the Complete Bundle.

Hello,

if I buy the Mixing Bundle, by how much does the price of the Complete Bundle?

35% of all plugins included in the Mixing Bundle? Or 35% of the Mixing Bundle full price?

Does Mellow 2 still not have a VST3 version? It doesn't seem to say it does, but sometimes the specs aren't completely reliable.

Not yet but it's planned. Dandy has become their first VST3 VBass this week.

It was a mistake, the price is $15.93 now...

One article said they had plans to include a Play Mode for existing owners. If anyone finds out when they implement that, please share, and if you know, how to invoke Play Mode. I like using individual instruments to design sounds and Analog Lab V to use them (less CPU / Graphics resources), but from what I read about Play Mode, that would work very well, too. 

 

Play Mode is included in the last update of Analog Lab:

 

You invoke Play Mode here:

 

 

Interference (their first Kontakt Player library) included for $5.27!!

New features:

 

First release of Analog Lab Play

Added new Main view

Analog Lab V full version is now labeled Analog Lab Pro on user interface

Right clicking on a bank now works on Home view

When using an Arturia controller, selecting a Type or Subtype using the main encoder no longer loads the first preset of the list

 

Bug fixes:

 

Improved order of sound banks section in Home view

Modwheel is now mapped by default to the rotary speed on B-3 presets

Factory banks for owned individual instruments are now available in Analog Lab Intro

Macros are now correctly named on all presets

Renaming a macro now correctly updates the name on the control panel

Synclavier Poly and Poly Retrig now behave correctly in the side panel settings

Improved compatibility with playlists from older version of Analog Lab

This doesn't fix a bug I had the last time I ran IK Product Manager. It still says I need to update even more products (Sounds) than ever before. All of the ones allegedly needing to be updated are now expired even though I had recently downloaded or updated everything (or almost everything).

The last time this happened, there were only a handful of products that had expired that allegedly needed updating. Now there are ten.

So, is the product manager wrong in saying that I need to update those Sound Content Products for some odd reason or did IK really update the Sound Content Products?  

Maybe with new products, they might have changed the format of the files or the way they are registered or something like that.

I suppose I can try the Install All Sounds button.  Maybe that will resolve the discrepancy.

Same here with Syntronik 2 99, Syntronik 2 Blau, Syntronik 2 Bully, Syntronik 2 CS, Syntronik 2 SAM, Syntronik 2 SH-V, Syntronik 2 V-80, Syntronik 2 VCF3, Syntronik GS-V, and Syntronik Syner-V...

Sounds need to be updated but expired downloads!

Note that Waldorf 1 is around $24 at AudioPluginDeals with the 20% coupon (TREAT20)!

Run the XLN Online Installer.

Run the IK Product Manager.

I have a FireMaster key, I'll be glad to trade it for a MUnison key...
