Thanks ugo! I'll give it a try.

I think pretty much anything is game, but I typically use a legato "tapping"/keyboard style, mostly.

My usual go-to is Reason, and I use the solo strings in GPO (as seen on my site).

Has anybody decided to take on converting these scrpits for Mac use? This is my primary audio computer and it has much lower latency than the PCs I have available. I would definitely put some $$ up for that.

If not, can someone recommend a PCMCIA sound card for use with my Windows laptop. The stock soundcard that ships with my Dell sucks! I looked at thhe EMU:

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... sku=242513 (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Recording/Computer/Hardware?sku=242513)

But, man is it expensive!

Anyway, I just ordered my EZ-AG from Amazon today. I eventually hope to get the Behringer FCB1010 with it and run them into Reason. I would ultimately like to use tha EZ live with Reason as the sound module and the FCB for filter sweeps and what not. Anybody have any experience with something similar in a live situation.

Thanks for the great information, guys. It looks like this EZ setup will be what I've been wishing for!

No Mac here, and even if I had one we'd need to port Marc/mbncp's MIDIX control to it somehow.

There are Mac-based MIDI environments that could do something similar, but probably not for free.

Thanks for the reply Markleford. Do you know the names of any of those similar Mac-based MIDI environments?

Quite possibly! You'll have to research whether it handles System Exclusive data capably, and *then* you'll have the difficult road of getting someone to undertake the development. But hopefully you can get an enthusiastic Mac person to do it: might help if you buy him an EZ of his own in payment!

OK... I just got my Yamaha EZ-EG, and I have read through a majority of the 56 pages on this thread...and am going cross-eyed.

I have 1 simple problem...but its a big one.

I'm using Cubase 5.1, and have a Trigger Finger and an Oxygen 49. Those are working just fine...but for some reason the Yamaha EZ-EG is showin up in my list but i'm not getting any midi signal at all.

I open a VSTi (like Slayer) and nothing happens when i strum or press buttons on the Yamaha. There is NO midi signal to the transport bar at all. But again, the Trigger Finger and Keyboard are working fine. Is there something i'm missing? Please help...pweeeeeeeeease.

USING;

Cubase 5.1
Windows XP Professional
Pentium 4 3.0 2 gigs of RAM
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard
Trigger Finger & Oxygen 49

Did you check your MIDI cable ? Maybe try to use the one of the Radium and see if you get something.
Be ware that each string will play on it's own channel (1-6).
Also I guess you connected the MIDI cable on the EZ to the Out port.
If the cable and connections are ok and still get no MIDI, it could be a problem with the EZ.

Perfect. I tried a different midi cord, and wallah...works. Can't believe it was so simple. Sometimes its the simple things that are overlooked. Thank you SO much for taking the time to help.

Now I gotta take some time and read this thread again and learn some other stuff...and oh yeah...learn how to play guitar too.

I have an EZ-AG and am using the the scripts. Is there any way to transpose up/down an octave from the EZ buttons while playing? It would open up so many possibilities.

Thanks for the great scripts!

In the EZ_AG 3.hta script, check the "Triggers Default.txt" (EZ_AG_Data folder), but if you have the original one you should have these triggers, while holding down the Sound button:

String Fret Action
6 11 Transpose both splits/layers -12
6 12 Transpose both splits/layers +12
5 11 Transpose LeftSplit/Layer1 layer -12
5 12 Transpose LeftSplit/Layer1 +12
4 11 Transpose RightSplit/Layer2 -12
4 12 Transpose RightSplit/Layer2 +12

But if you want only transposing using the +/- buttons, rename the "Triggers Default.txt" file and create a new one and just add this code:

Code: Select all

OnButtonUp(BT_PLUS) = Array(True, "Transpose 1,12")
OnButtonUp(BT_MINUS) = Array(True, "Transpose 1,-12")

[quote="IK Support"]This is a very cool thread. quote]

Yeah, a wealth of info on this thread but you can have too much of a good thing (55 pages!) Ben, I hope you don't mind but I've started a Yahoo Group for the EZAG / EZEG. All, please feel free to add to the discussion there (or here)

Hi, Just a question on your VST version (pre-beta or whatever)... one of the readme's mentions that there is no gui. Are the paramaters controllable from the files generated by the EZ_AG3.hta tool? This might be a dumb question but I haven't installed yet but was just curious. Also any word on if it works with sonar (does support mfx). Also, just wanted to let you know if you do get the vst version going (and sonar will support it) I'd definitely be in to buy is. Thanks...

I decided to make the group available to anyone, even if you are not interested to buy the EZ_Suite.
This should save me a few mails
It should also be a little easier for new users to find some info.

You will still need to ask for approval (sorry but I hate spams).
