EZKeys Jazz Ballads - $13.99 (not the "real" sale price)
TBH honest it took the current discount at AudioDeluxe and my $10 gift cert. But hey. It was only $13.99.

Bapu - where is this? Just curious.
Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

AudioDeluxe. Beware, it required me to use my $10 gift certificate. It was kind of joke thread. You can get it for $23.99 (save $5.00 over ToonTrack's price).

Can EZKey MIDI files be used with any MIDI source or are they proprietary files?
Thanx in advance for your time.
The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better. Sonar Platinum, Intel i7 –2600 CPU @ 3.2 GHz, 16 GB ram, 2x2TB internal drives and 1 1TB internal drive, Radeon HD 5570 video card, HP 25" monitor,

You need the EZKeys program to "arrange" the MIDI by choosing patterns and editing the chords. Once arranged, you can drag the arranged sequence into a SONAR MIDI track. Only then can you edit specific notes and timing.
Prior to dragging, the "sequences" are in proprietary format that you cannot get to or see outside of EZKeys.
In fact you cannot even install the packs without EZKeys.
HTH.

I listened to this one and thought, "nice...but who could use it how?" Of course, that's my basic take with most things like this.
I did want the midi from the gospel one though...just to study.
If someone would make me a decent price for the converted files I'd be interested.

That would be pretty rich. By that logic I'm infringing on Toons, FXpansions, ADs, Slates, you name it copyright every time I pound out a shuffle pattern on my drum controller. Not even counting the "countless" (see what I did there?) drummers since time immemorial who've played and could lay claim to such. Can Am be copyrighted?? :-)

Way off topic here, but who cares...
I think the "performance" might be copyrightable.
By that I mean the actual pitch, time, velocity and length of each "note".
They're not really notes, are they?
Its a midi sequence, its NOT music, or is it?
It's really just a string of on/off, where, how much; isn't it?
Just my nickel 98.

Oh I'm sure they could be. Crazy as that might be. That's probably why Toon went that direction with EZKeys. They certainly don't do it with their drum midi packs. Nor does anyone else that I know of. They are just midi files that can be played using any virtual instrument from any company yor little heart desires. I'm just walkin what's left of my wits to ponder the surrealty of it. Sorry if I got so OT.

IIRC, the terms of use allow you to use the midi libraries with a musical piece but not as the grooves converted to audio. IOW, you can't create a library of keyboard audio clips using the EZK midi clips.
I'm not a lawyer, but I remember this conversation somewhere on the TT site and I was under the impression that they would protect their content.

Right...but, as you say, you are free to use them as building blocks for your own compositions at will. And you are free to edit them in any fashion you desire. It may be economically motivated to "momentarily" proprietize the EZKeys midi files by having them only be initially loaded through the EZKEYS host...but as soon as you drag them into your DAW as midi it gets fairly fuzzy. Personally I think they'd do better just making the EZKEYS midi packs just like the drum paks...available to anyone as standard midi files. And so it goes. YMMV.

Example: I open a SONAR project and (for fun) I put every Gospel pattern in the key of C into a MIDI track so I can learn, examine and "edit". I delete EZKeys or not (no matter). I send that SONAR project (with no audio) to good buddy (myolpal?) cuz he wants to study them. Did I violate my license? maybe. maybe not.
