The ability to hear chords without knowing where they are & physically play them. It is all about the ears isn’t it? Amazing program …

Every video I watch that features Davide makes me happy to own Scaler and I try to tell others about it as he and the others who work on this tool deserve our support.

This was great. As I (slowly) pick up on everything Scaler 2 does, this is a terrific way to learn. Thank you.

Thank you David for this excellent and informative video. It's great that you explain Scaler2 in different contexts. - Best greetings to the scaler 2 Team.

great job

This is such an amazing video showing the power of technology and music production. I know A.I. is a big push that may eliminate the human "middle man" in music production but this still shows how important the human touch is even with all these amazing tools like Scaler. The human (i.e. Davide) selection of the chord progression, various sounds and software instruments (i.e. Kontakt) and the orchestral song structure coupled with the technology made a great piece of music for that game...in under an hour. WOW!!!!!

Hey Davide, thanks so much for your work. I just wanted to share an idea I had for Scaler 3: what about adding a fourth view/mode (so piano, pads, guitar tabs and this) that shows the chords in a grid like an actual DAW? Maybe combining that with the pad view.. I believe some producers will feel more comfortable just looking at chords as if they were in their Daw already inside Scaler. Plus, it would also be educational because we would see the variations, inversions and such in Scaler and we would teach our brain to visually recognize those more quickly when we work with midi of other plugins.

Davide, Great videos can’t wait to see the new Scaler this year. I was wondering if you could show us quickly in ProTools, how to properly setup scaler as you do in logic. Just as you do midi FX to control other instruments. thanks again

Davide, Correct me if I am wrong here maybe I am not seeing it. But the major drawback I see in protools routing is the fact that you don’t have MidiFX control like you do in logic tracks. So you can’t just drag and drop midi to another track with a third party plugin to control because you have to make another scaler track then route that to another track in order to control that plug-in sound? I am referencing what you were able to do in your video titled “all the little things”. Where you have one scaler track at the top then a few more tracks under with different third party kontakt instruments and created the main midi theme in scaler at the top. and then copied that bound (one note)midi to the rest of the tracks that also had Scaler on them as a MidiFX to trigger within Scaler. Seems to be a bit more involved because of the way it works in ProTools more tracks to route to control and work in protools to compose as far as routing. Or am I missing a trick to make this easier within protools or similar like in Logic? Thanks again

how about an option to change the pugin color, so working in a session with multiple scalers they are easy to distinguish from each other?

I'm currently using Synfire for all the composer's chores like reharmonizing melodies and stuff. Might give Scaler 2 a go though. Great video. *Thumbs up*

Thanks Davide. Curious - you were in Ab yet when you KEYS LOCK and selected CHORD EXTENSIONS the notes showed #'s

Hi David: Is the following possible with Scaler 2? For example, on the one hand I have a chord progression in the song key 'A MAJOR' and on the other hand a completely different chord progression in the song key 'A MINOR' . Now I want to create a transition between these two chord progressions. So from 'A major' song key to 'A minor' song key. Is this somehow possible with Scaler 2.

Thanks for this video. I just found out, that I completely missed the Scaler Control Plugin. I just double checked but I can't find it anywhere on my system. I installed the whole package. So what did I do wrong? Or is the Scaler Control exclusive to Mac? I am running a Win10 System.

Yes indeed Scaler Control is a MIDI FX plugin compatible with Logic Pro X. You can still control 3rd party VST's in all other DAWs using routing methods.

It could be a compatibility issue or maybe when you installed it you didn't install the correct plugin format (AAX for Pro Tools, VST for other DAWs). What DAW are you using? It worked fine for me on Cubase Pro 11x (Windows 10) as a VSTi (both VST2 and 3)

Learn about the 7 modes and circle of 5ths as soon as you can and it'll complement the use of Scaler.

Is it possible, to route the different notes of a chord to different midi channels, so that the notes can be played by different virtual instruments on different tracks without the need of more than one instance of scaler? That would be a great feature to emulate e.g. an ensemble or a big band

if you got such job it is supposed that you can create a chord progression without problems, otherwise leave it to whom masters it and learn with them. It will save you way more time than depending on a plug in like this.
