This is the 3rd or 4th video I am trying to watch on EZ Keys to know whether it can do what I am looking for. This is the first place where I confirmed that YES IT CAN. Thank you very much!

[@timpaulriceuk]

Very well presented and very helpful. Thank you 🙂

Now I know what to buy next

Ok but can you play your own notes in midi? That's all I wanna know

[@sunumaudio]

Do you mean if you can play with your own Midi keyboard? If so definitely yes. You can also draw in your own notes within the plugin, or on your DAW's Midi roll.

own personal pianist i think you mean

[@AnuGraphy]

The VST is good. But, in ur video shows it consumes more CPU power!!

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

Any virtual playing VST will crush CPU. Convert to audio asap and power off the midi track on playback if you can in your daw.
I prefer UJAM Vogue for its simplicity… or just playing simple piano parts myself (and saving some of my favorite patterns) then calling a friend to play on final track.
