For my friends who use Ezkeys:
Upload a proprietary EZKeys MIDI pack such as 000851@SYNTH_POP and immediately receive synth_pop.zip. It will contain all of the MIDI tracks you paid for, sorted into folders according to BPM, time signature and key.

https://ezkeys.kabaragoya.com/

I obviously tested it on all my EzKeys files and it works perfectly. Does not work on EzKeys2. No need.

Interesting. I have always been aware that the EZK midi packs are proprietary and never gave it a second thought. This guy seems to be upset about nothing. I am surprized that he has a issue with EZK2 vrs EZK packs since I thought there was no difference in the format of the pack. They all work in both versions.

Dan, I don't think the issue he has is between the two versions. He is converting the proprietary EZKeys 1 MIDI to regular MIDI, at least that is what I got out of his post. IIRC you could not export EZKeys 1 MIDI to another sound source like you can in EZKeys 2, thus this is not an issue with 2.

If I am wrong please correct me.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

He is upset because when buying a TT EZK midi pack he realized that he had to buy the EZK unlocker for 179 more. And since he is stubborn he spent a week deciphering the code. And he shares it with his friends. I really liked his proposal.

So he bought the MIDI packs not knowing he needed the program to play them. The "EZK unlocker" is the EZK program! Still a bit strange, but I guess it is what it is. smirk

Yes it is what it is but is it legal?
Is the EZK unlocker a Toontrack program? I haven't seen it on their web site so I doubt it.

Mario, to understand you have to read the last sentence of the site:


"So: [*****] you, Toontrack. You make some great tools, but if you advertise a product as a "MIDI pack" then deliver a proprietary binary blob that is not actually MIDI, that is bullshit. It's false advertising, disrespectful to your customers, and an abuse of your position of relative power."

You buy a midi for 29 but you have to give up 179 to use the 29, he's not wrong...

Thanx - my bad, I didn't scroll down thus I didn't see that. I did accidently purchase an EX drum MIDI so I am now going to convert it.

Thanx for sharing.
