Scaler 2.9 New Features | Passages, Live Suggest Mode, Arps and Content

In this video Davide Carbone demonstrates the main new features introduced in Scaler 2.9. 'Passages' are a new way of interpreting chords as movements and melodic passages. Davide shows how using passages can turn any chords into beautifully played performances made by Scaler's in-house musicians. Davide also demonstrates the new 'Live Suggest Mode' which is a new way of finding chords that are compatible with your progression on the fly. Plus there's a look at the new Arpeggios, Bass Performances, Left Handed Guitar Display in the Fretboard view and lots of Chord Sets.

    eh. watch teh two 45 minute introductory music theory videos from rick beato. worth your time, and the knowledge will help you with these amazing tools. i've known music theory for a long time, rick shows everything, but these tools are an amazing add on for someone like me who already knows music theory, but for you, you should learn it. 90 minutes of your time. rick is a great teacher, you won't be confused. period. music theory is cut and dry. if you can speak and write in english, music is a million times more simple.

    As I am sure Davide agrees, Scaler allows you to create and use your heart and soul to originate music without having to worry about theory, voicings, arpeggios, bass lines or anything else for that matter. It changes the landscape of music creation completely for producers, arrangers and composers alike. Thank you for sharing yet another masterpiece video of Scaler Davide with us!

Having this feature in Scaler is truly beneficial. Moreover, I am hopeful that this feature can be expanded to include various passages for piano, strings, brass, and other instruments. Thanks Davide.

    Thanks Davide and team, for making a great tool even better. Loving Passages as the provide fantastic building blocks, and they also serve as perfect seed notes to feed back into some of Scaler's perform modes or midi transformation tools. Also really appreciate you guys keeping non-contiguous chord selection (ctrl-click) and Preview Selected Chords active during Live Suggest mode. It is great for trying variations on multiple chords that are off the screen w/out the chords swapping out. Also, was wondering if you are doing any automation of Scaler EQ? I'm loving the control you guys gave us for adding movement dynamic texture. Keep up the great work!

    PC, Win 11, Cubase: Scaler 2.9 causes crashes in different and often unpredictable situations when you save the Cubase project and then try to close Cubase. Then Cubase crashes and freezes. The same thing happens when you add Scaler to some Cubase projects. Then when you save the project and close Cubase, Cubase crashes and freezes. It doesn't happen in all situations. It also happens, for example, in very small projects where there are only 2 tracks in total. It depends on which VST instruments are in the project. - It is a very big problem!
