Incidentally, dragging and dropping from EZbass to EZkeys is possible, but I would guess that this cross-instrument communication might well be something that Toontrack will aim to enhance in subsequent updates to all of the SD/EZ line. This doesn't currently include all the chord extensions but, in my own testing at least, it did a pretty good job with major and minor chord roots and any lowest note inversions.
This includes the option to drag and drop from EZkeys' own pattern browser and EZbass will attempt to pick out the chordal structure in whatever is dragged and dropped, although the piano MIDI data added into the bottom lane will subsequently need replacing with something more bass-friendly. Rather wonderfully, you can also drag and drop MIDI clips directly into the Song Track. Thankfully, you can copy/paste entire song sections to speed up your overall workflow.
The Song Track provides a powerful environment within which to build your EZbass performance, with its Edit Play Style options making it easy to add performance variations.Īs with EZkeys, defining your full chord sequence is the one element of the EZbass workflow that can take some time. Once you select a chord box within the lane, double-clicking opens a chord wheel (similar to that found in EZkeys, but without the more complex chord voicings) to define each chord, with major, minor and bass note inversions supported. There is a comprehensive toolset available for adding chord slots, adjusting their length and for copy/paste operations. The middle lane is where your chord sequences are entered. The top-most lane within the Song Track allows you to define song sections (verse, chorus, etc). While the grooves allow you to find something that provides a rhythmic fit to your project, the Song Track enables your bass line to follow the harmonic (chord sequence) structure.
