Nice Christmas for me too. Wife let me get a Casio PX5s keyboard. Wonderful keyboard, great sounds and weighs only 25 lbs. Happy New Year Everyone. Ray

One of the reasons I bought it is because of the above test. I found it very hard to tell which piano is which. The Nord is around $3000.00 and the Casio is $999.98. I'm very satisfied with it. Ray

love ezkeys - if you want to make up keys for a band in a box song just go into preferences and there is a chord output setting - you turn it on then save as a midi then just split the chord output track to a single midi track file and save now load it into ezkeys and you will have your chord track you can now split it into section with the scissors select the clip now click on browser midi and select one that fits and click replace if you like it hope this helps

I've owned a PX3 for several years, the predecessor to the PX5. I like the feel of the keys for piano on the PX much better than any other keyboard, even ones that cost 4X more!

Hey, thank you very much. This is good to be aware of. I have found some other work arounds - but the results have been a bit unexpected.
I may start a thread just about the topic of exporting midi from BIAB in order to get the Chord sheet. As we all know BIAB Musicians tend to take a lot of liberties with the chord chart.
I am loving EZKeys - but would love even more EZKeys 2? I know it is coming soon....
EZD2 was a big update love to see EZK2 ! thanks will have to keep an eye out. I grabbed Funk midi it was on special for $10 last month more here http://piano-loops.com/
.... go into preferences and there is a chord output setting - you turn it on then save as a midi then just split the chord output track to a single midi track file and save
Can you clarify. where exactly in preferences? and how does this work?
My problem is I can export out the midi track based on my chord chart from BIAB, but... BIAB creates the midi based on the style and many times the "chords" the midi plays are far more complex that the Chords I have typed in my Chord chart. As a result when the midi file is opened in EZKeys they are interpreted as different. I have tired to use a "simple" style, but if there is an easier way to get just the chords the are in the BIAB chart over to EZK with out retyping I would be very interested.
sorry just found this. I went to preferences - output chords then save the song as midi open in real band and you will see bb chord output track select the whole track and drag it to the mid drop station drag it into ezkeys or a folder first get the scissors and cut it at bar 3 (bar 1 in pg) now cut it at say bar 7 (bar 5 pg) back to the arrow tool and select the clip now click on browser midi and select one that fits and click replace if you like it just cut and select the bars you want to put the ezk playing in
if ezkeys had a bar offset it would help, maybe you can suggest that in their forum
Hi Team This thread seems to have gotten a little more "Off-Topic" than the actual Topic? Maybe post in the BiaB for Windows forum - might get better attention? Trev
