I hesitate to jump in here, but I've got some time while I wait for folks to make suggestions on how to get my 2024 working properly
(thanks to all who are trying - Noel...I will be trying your suggestions...)

I began buying EZKeys "stuff" 7 years ago. I know that because I wrote one song then using it then.
None since.

I got that first piano on sale (xmas) for $29. I also got a MIDI pak on sale for $10 (Sweetwater used to do them for $9 - I always buy from them).
Since then, I have added 8 more piano modules. And 24 MIDI paks. All bought for $29 and $10.
When EZKeys 2 came out, I upgraded (I'm invested now)

I "play with it" a lot.
I almost never use it (not for lack of trying).

The first song I did, I used the existing EZKeys phrases to build a track (meaning their chord progression, not a new one).
And then I wrote a song - to the track.
The track I used was unlike anything I could get from BIAB (at the time, at least).
It worked great to use their existing phrases.

However...since then I have tried a number of times to build a convincing piano track for a full song.
Those are meant to be stark piano/vocal kinds of songs. (my chord progression)
I have found it VERY difficult to do that.
if you use the same phrases repetitively, it sounds that way. You have to mix it up - and be subtle about it.

Many times I have built a track and scraped it. And gone Back to BIAB for a piano track (that is not quite what I want it to be. I've given examples of that in the WishList area for the last year, but those type piano tracks are still not available).

I actually ended up spending the last year learning to play the piano myself.
I tried a LOT of different methods - a Long story - but one of the things that finally allowed me to "turn the corner" on understanding what I was doing was by opening EZKeys and loading a phrase and learning to play it. I then move on to another, and another and another.

So. My "answer" to the question - I like having EZKeys and I've learned something from it.
But I think it is difficult to get a true Performance. A big learning curve (but what doesn't have that).
You can likely get a backing track that would work in a BAND situation (not the piano/vocal thing), but BIAB will do That for you with the click of a button.

I would be REALLY interested in hearing a full track that someone has written in EZKeys. A really Good one.
