Guitar is the big focus for 2.5 according to DEVS

Also, when you bind chords and play notes with "chords notes" options, can you move octaves played notes?

Just downloaded 2.5 and installed the VST3 version in ACID pro 10 suite. Everything seems to be working, except when I change an internal instrument patch, ACID crashes.

Is there any way post 2.5 when binding the scale to white keys for the plugin to automatically follow scale changes? Doing it manually seems like a bit of a pain esp. e.g. in the case of borrowed chords

Thx for this video! I have a question: While showing the Metall chord progressions at 12:00 the Scaler instrument was set to "Midi FX". How can I set my Scaler to this mode? Couldn't find it in the dropdown.

Midi FX is native to Logic Pro X, if you use another DAW you just need to route to it. Check the manual, click on help within scaler or visit forum.scalerplugin.com

Great videos!!! My question was when you do the midi mapping are you changing both scalers with the same midi mapping control can you do that? or you need to seperate midi mappings to change the 2 scalers ?

In this example davide uses a Midi FX to control third party libraries and instruments. You can route Scaler to any Instrument in any DAW. The process is different across DAWs. Check out the scalerplugin.com forum for tutorials on each DAW

When I tried forcing them to another key, I had to close Scaler 2 and reopen it, to have it show the correct roman numerals for each chord. If I didn't do this, it kept the C Major roman numerals.

@@SchoolofSynthesis Thanks a lot. I was so obvious but somehow I managed not to see this option... Thanks again... did I say that Scaler is an awesome product?

I really like Scaler very much as a tool for composing. I'm using it since the first version. Meanwhile it has really become a beast of a plugin and my only concern is the UI (not talking about colours & fonts here). You can change a lot, here and there ..have tons of drop down menus and I think if you are not really into this and just use it occasionally then you might get lost easily. Sooner or later I think Scaler needs an UI update, where the UI is being more logical and simplified (for example the middle part where you can choose the scale is rather big and could be moved to a side bar, etc.) Also the various places for drop down menus could be streamlined and the workflow of binding certain areas to the upper keyboard is not very intuitive.. I think the workflow should also make graphical sense , so that you dont have to jump up and down on the screen often, and can visually follow a certain path for certain things..like composing or performing. I think when Scaler started the central thing was the detection of some midi notes and the UI was built around that. Nowadays when you just use it as composing tool you may start with a certain scale and work down that way. So I think a good UI Design should be able guide through different workflows. Well, I am not an UI Designer and have no actual solution present, but using all sorts of Software through the years I think it would do Scaler good to have an UI Designer look at it. :))

Yes. Very nice - if you want to play in 4/4 time. The only other time signatures available are the exotic 5/4 or 12/8. There is no 3/4 or 6/8. What a very strange decision. So, great for chord sequences, awful for time signatures.
