CHANGES
Installation
- The core sound libraries are now in a separate product card in Toontrack Product Manager (under EBX Sound Expansions): EZbass Core Library.
- Installation on Apple silicon Macs no longer requires Rosetta.
- EZbass can now be fully uninstalled also on macOS Catalina or newer.
General
- Accessibility (screen reader) support has been added.
- The plug-in parameters (for automation) are now named like the effect knobs that they control.
- A “Detach” submenu has been added to the “View” menu.
- If the EZbass core libraries are not installed, there will now be entries for them in the library menu anyway, under a separate header.
VST 3
- In Cubase and Nuendo version 12.0.52 and later (and any other hosts supporting “IPluginCompatibility” added in VST SDK 3.7.5), EZbass can now be loaded in DAW projects created on “the other OS” (macOS or Windows). For other hosts, an option has been added in Settings > Advanced, allowing you to select if EZbass VST 3 should use its Mac ID or its Windows ID.
Song Track
- “Import Chords and Song Parts from EZkeys Project” has been added to the Track menu.
Grooves Tab
- “Show Web Shop MIDI” has been added.
Grid Editor
- In Disco EBX, the articulation menu now contains a “Muted Slap” header.
Drums & Keys Tab
- Snare rolls will produce less percussive mute notes in a row than before.
Audio Tracker
- Left/right arrow keys can now be used to select the previous/next transient.
Settings
- An “Allow Program Change” option (Bank Select in VST 3) has been added in the MIDI Input settings.
- MIDI Input velocity transforms can now be saved as user presets.
BUG FIXES
General
- In Logic Pro on Apple silicon Macs, MIDI Out should no longer cause crashes.
- In Studio One on Mac with the “graphics hardware acceleration” option enabled, the EZbass GUI should no longer be slow and choppy.
- Added workarounds for ACID Pro so that the VST 3 would produce sound there and be able to receive MIDI from the host.
- Fixed a potential crash when MIDI was received with The Eighties Electronic loaded and “Show played note information” being on.
- The Previous Preset button would never become disabled in sound libraries where the library preset menu starts with a header.
Song Track
- Modifying notes or blocks on the track could in some cases change/move notes in other blocks.
- Dragging chords from EZkeys 2 to the EZbass song track could cause a crash.
- Deleting a chord with the keyboard shortcut could cause a crash.
- During recording, key switches played together with the Repeater key were lost.
Edit Play Style
- Fixed a potential crash when Amount was changed.
Grooves Tab
- Dragging from Grooves with “original key” active to an empty song track did not set the correct key signature.
- With Grooves in a detached window, Replace MIDI did not have any “Save Changes” and “Cancel” buttons visible (in the main window).
Grid Editor
- Creating a slide from a note at the end of a block would create an invalid slide over two blocks, leading to a crash if the slide notes were adjusted.
Drums & Keys Tab
- Bass MIDI generated from EZkeys MIDI should now have the correct/same chords.
- Piano MIDI without bass notes would generate bad bass MIDI.
Audio Tracker
- While recording, clicking in the window with the Add tool selected from earlier could cause a crash.
- With “auto-scroll” off, start/stop of playback incorrectly scrolled the view.
