Is there a way to take the chords from biab and put them into ezkeys, so I can use the midi style in ezkeys, or do I need to type them all in ezkeys my self ?.

I have EZ keys and I have to type them in myself. Be kind of nice if there was a way though.

Thanks Brian
I just thought/wished Have you tried copy and paste ?.
Do you find after you input the chords to ezkeys that it then drags and drops to your daw and stays in time.
I like it I bought strings on a special and now I am thinking of going for a few expansions just would love to hear it is a usable product, I've just messed about with the stand alone.

Guys, it is easy to import BIAB chord charts into EZKeys. There are lots of threads you will find here in the forum which detail how it is done and you don't have to retype anything.

I use the EZ keys VSTI in my DAW all the time and drag the chords to a track. Yes they stay in perfect sync. I will have to investigate going from BIAB to EZ Keys. I know you can drag a MIDI track from BIAB to EZ keys but actual copy and paste chords from Bars I would like to see this.

Ya, that is pretty close to the way. We have had more explicit discussion about this in prior treads maybe even a video done in the past. However, like lots of BIAB workflow, "easy" is not the best word. But Options-Preferences-OutputCh is the place to go. This will create a midi file of your chord chart with triads in the root position for each chord. When you import this midi file into EZkeys it will interpret the midi data and place the chords exactly as the chart indicates. Then you can apply any style from the EXkeys features for the same chord chart a BIAB.
I do this a lot. I will tell you it is not perfect all the time. Sometimes adjustments need to be made in EZKeys. But it sure beats re-typing.

I was thinking something totally different I guess. I was thinking of copy and paste the chords into the timeline of EZ Keys itself not a DAW. I know how to drag and drop MIDI into the DAW or the timeline of EZ Keys itself. Only thing is EZ Keys usually adds lots of chord extensions to even simple chords. I am also thinking when using using the new VST inside of a DAW. I don't use EZ Keys inside of BIAB. Sorry Misunderstanding Brian

Think I have got it now, just trying to work out how I then add ezkeys midi style, keeping the chord structure bb created through the midi channel.
So I then get ezkeys piano, playing ezkeys midi style to drag drop into song in bb ?.

I don't use EZ Keys inside of BIAB.....Brian Here's the original BB Chord Output to EZKeys in Tips n Tracks If you drag the BB Chord Output midi into EZKeys it will read all the chords pretty good, then each section you can be replace the held chords with any midi you like. more You can also use it to fit other midi to the chord track, then just set it to MidiOut that sends to another Virtual Instrument. You can put any midi in Documents\Toontrack\EZkeys\Stored Favorites or check where the library is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Toontrack\EZkeys\Midi C:\Program Files\Common Files\Toontrack\EZkeys\Midi to create your own folders with stored phrases. Biab Chord Sheet to EZKeys & Replace with User Midi This is the BB Chord Output track imported into EZKeys then replaced with user midi.  Here's the naming format for user folders in the Library Full Screen
