Mainly excellent
It would be very helpful to describe using EzKeys with instrument patches from other manufacturers. I have a number of these and would prefer to use them rather than buy additional expansion packs. Also, the screen resolution is on the low side for modern monitors. Otherwise excellent although it could do with updating to reflect EzKeys software updates.

Nice tutorial coving the core functionality
Pretty good tutorial coving the core functionality of EZkeys to get you off to a running start. This was my first purchase on Groove3 and got this course on a good sale. Had I paid full price I might have expected a little more content, but at the sale price I think it was worth the price of admission.
