Scaler 2 is a true game changer. It actually pushed me to learn music theory and to try to understand all the concepts behind it. This is one of the most sophisticated pieces of software which I've seen so far. I don't know how you managed to make it so cheap and at the same time make it that good! This is truly impressive. Thank you so much!

This plugin was by far my best acquisition, and the cherry on top is that two days after I bought it, the .2 comes out and blows my mind yet again! Amazing job with the tutorials, and congrats to the dev team!

Wow. So glad that this popped up in my recommended feed. I feel like this unlocked a lot more potential for me with the plugin

Just when I soon will find some time to mess around with the previous update, out comes this new one! Wow, no small deal here. Now I'll really have more catching up to do; Thanks for keeping on top of things with the great new features to make this a powerhouse of an effects tool.

Absolutely great further development.

Love Scaler - please keep at it and make it the best and always no1 composing plugin

Are you kidding me?!?! This was 30 minutes of AWESOME! Scaler keeps getting better and better. I am so impressed. Just when I think this is a gamer changer, it comes back with more.. Fantastic upgrade.

Great video. Appreciated seeing Scalar in more upbeat songs.

BEAUTIFULLY DONE.

Utterly mind-blowing. Awesome job, David, and entire Scaler 2 team.

Fantastic! Can’t wait to finish work ;)

This was exactly the video I was looking for. I wish I've watched this right away as soon as I got Scaler.

Great new features. Its mindblowing.

I just bought Scaler 2 the other day and have been diving deep to learn the nuances of the software. Thank you for this lesson, it's been very enlightening.

Thank you for the detailed update walk-thru!

Thanks for Making it More effective.. That's a Great Kindness. I got Orb 2 Because scaler never had a bass Generator... Now its all here.. Thanks

This is the most in-depth video for scaler 2 I’ve seen so far!

Scaler is massive: love it

What a fantastic update. The bass and melody mode are going to be great fun and I really like the idea of being able to group the playback performances. Also, having these in-depth overview videos has been invaluable to unlocking the full potential of this software beyond the surface level usage, so thank you for that.

Best plugin ever hands down, for price value, insane

now you can add basslines to your chords/melody?? goddamn, this is why i love scaler 2 and the people behind it!

One of the best plug ins ever made

This is amazing. The future of music composition. For future development here are some more ideas to take this software beyond the stratosphere and into another galaxy. 1. Add a midi file drop feature into melody, bass and rhythm to allow even more flexibility. So you can play any midi file. 2. Add the ability to create a user scale. World scales and exotic tunings will play a major role in revolutionising pop and electronic music into the 2020s I reckon But this is brilliant. Great job guys!

This looks awesome! I own scaler 2. But with the basslines and melody lines surely once you've used them then you've used them. Plus won't millions of other people around the globe also be using the melodies and basslines. So can we actually create anything original that millions of other havn't used? Scaler is a fantastic tool which i use regularly in my productions.

@davidecarbonemusic

Remember Scaler adapts is bass lines and melody lines to your own chord progressions which can vary through modulation, voicing etc. Then you can vary the harmonic content itself and you can scale based or chord based so the possibilities are endless. You will never write a good tune if you don't have the vision for it. Scaler will only help you get there quicker. it could be argued that every melody has been done before, every chord progression has been done before but still each tune you love feels different.

Thanks...great stuff as always. I noticed your instrument selection w/in Scaller says Midi FX (4:15). I'm on Studio One and I've never seen that setting. Is that due to the way S1 does midi FX and thus requiring us to route Scaller as an input into other VST that we want Scaller to drive?

@SchoolofSynthesis

3 жыл бұрын

Yes Scaler routes to third party instruments differently for each DAW, see the specific instructions for each DAW in manual or tutorial videos (click on the S in scaler)

Still definitely the best money I've spent on a plugin and it keeps on getting better and better (and bigger and bigger which is a bit of a worry as I'm on a metered connection!) Any chance you could put the extra voices into a separate download package?

Very cool new features! Especially bass and melody mode is my favorite so far. Now I have 2 questions. The first is, How many patterns are there for melody mode? The second is, can melodies and bass can be recorded as separate notes to my DAW? I am using Logic Pro X but from this video, it seems to be recordrd as a integrated note. Then can I use MIDI FX Freeeze to make it separated?

I really wanna hear the full thing across my stereo system. It outshines many of the top Dj's of today and I listen to A LOT of trance/house/electronic.

I am using Studio one which doesn't have midi effects as far as I know. Do I create the instrument tracks and have separate scaler tracks that the instrument track uses as its input?

Can we write our own melody and bass lines and save them as well?

David, have you considered turning your company's extensive MIDI tool skills demonstrated with Scaler towards a state of the art Arpeggiator/Sequencer/Music Generator? I think there is a serious opportunity to combine the "best of breed" capabilities from tools like: Riff Generation (state of the art sequence auto generation with up to 5 sound sources) Arpology Fluid Harmonics (3 sound sources Arp'd together) SEQui2r SE / Synth (lets you play in notes to build a sequence, supports Random Above/Below for any note) Unify (also working to importing played or "found" MIDI sequences to apply) Harvest (rhythmic entry of notes that get randomized) and the best features from all the other arps and related MIDI tools: Cream, Cthulu, Xronomorph, Euclidian Rhythms, Polystep Sequencer, Quad Note Generator, Kompulsion, Mercury, Noteset Corrector/Filter, Rhygenerator, Riffer Generator, ST100 Strumming Machine, Stochas, etc. I'm thinking if you whiteboard the best feature set from all of these, you end up with something where a user can: - play into it live (from any MIDI device, or, any recorded MIDI) a mix of monophonic AND polyphonic notes for TIMING and/or PITCH values to capture and create a sequence (ala Unify, Harvest and SEQui2r SE) with quantization ability. This could be the finished sequence/arp, or a starting point for randomization to enhance the seed idea - Enable Random pitch substitution on chosen notes in the sequence (ala SEQui2r SE) above chosen note, or below chosen note, or any of defined scale or notes to be allowed - constrain to scales, but also to specific notes within the scale, or simply any random group of desired notes (ala Harvest, SEQui2r SE) - have a huge range of randomization constraints (ala Riff Generation) to apply when randomizing - generate full sequences (ala Riff Generation) that MAY or MAY NOT use parameters from other capabilities listed above or below - lock notes/portions of sequences/arps/riffs and regenerate the rest of it - output to up to 16 MIDI channels to drive individual synths (Riff Generation does 5, Unify does 16) with either individual sequences, of combinations of interleaved notes in sequence, assigned by pitch, or random or fixed order (ala Veevum series of synths): MIDI channel becomes an optional element of each sequence/pattern or arp - infinite random generation setting with set number of bars before next random generation (ala Playbeat random drum pattern sequencer) to capture best sequences that appear during playback without halting playback, selectable parameters for what gets randomized each time (optionally note timing could be locked and note pitches randomized, or vice versa) - Up to 16 stored patterns, and a pattern sequencer to chain them in any order to build songs - Patterns and Sequences working together as separate elements coming together (SEQui2r SE), one, the other, or both being fixed and not randomized - Patterns that get invoked only on certain pitches in a sequence being activated (such as a Tonic), or happening to a controlled percentage of the time - Randomize from a fixed Starting Point; option to return to a fixed starting point after a specific limited number of randomizations (sequence/pattern/arp) and a percentage of change allowed for each pass in notes/timing, etc. to create "variations based on a starting point or theme" - Potentially link to Scaler to be fed unique information such as scale in use and leverage this info uniquely Your team has shown both outstanding interface design as well as execution capabilities to build a well thought out, state of the art tool: I couldn't imagine another company even considering building a tool to compete with Scaler. Perhaps you could do something similar in the Arp/Sequencer/Generator space as well... thanks for listening!
