HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- In this latest creative video for Scaler 2.8, Davide Carbone demonstrates how he makes a track using only source material from Scaler including the new chord sets and expressions in Scaler 2.8. Davide also uses some of the AI led features in Scaler such as suggest mode to create alternative chord progressions. Finally Davide uses Scaler 2's Melody Mode to feed AI generative software to create an AI Vocal part.

The scaler team has to be one of the most passionate plugin teams around, tons of free updates and a super reasonable purchase price! Many thanks for the updates and walkthru's on all this stuff, its insanely appreciated.
We insanely appreciate the positive feedback from Scaler users - thank you.
What a tutorial. All plugin brands should learn from this man
Much thanks to you Davide and all at SoS for kindly including me in the Scaler 2 family. A truly amazing tool indeed. All the best🙏
Thank you for providing the chord sets Lloyd, love having esteemed artists like yourself as part of Scaler!
I love these "lets make a song" videos by Davide. Lots of knowledge drops and really showcases how to use this in a real world situation. 🤟
Hi Davide, I always appreciate how you illustrate new Scaler features in the context of a making a demo song from scratch. A very practical way to learn about new Scaler features. Thanks to you and the whole Scaler team for all that you do for the music community!
Thanks @Aleamanic. Appreciate the feedback makes the effort worthwhile. Hope you enjoy the update and content.
Always a good to see a new drop from you Davide. Thanks to the team for all the new Scaler goodness!
A big thanks to you and the team for all of the hard work to expand improve Scaler! ❤❤❤
Thanks Davide and all involved in Scaler. I've been a user since the start and it is such an integral part of my workflow now and I'm constantly learning something new. All the best and thanks again.
Thanks @RGM. Lots of exciting stuff to come in the future.
Nice, I am already busy with the scaler 2 course, and learned much more already then I knew. And it just keeps coming with new features.
The anime track sounds really good, Davide. I like it - and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the Scaler 2.8 demo.
Ive been using scaler since the start but I learnt a tonne in this mini masterclass. Love your work David.
Hi Davide, great demo and performance, as always! Thumbs up! BTW, I am working with Scaler since v1.0 and its my bread&butter workhorse since its release! Greetings to the whole team and keep up the perfect work for us musicians! Appreciate every minor & major release of it!
Greetings back to you Tom and great to hear - Scaler has been my bread and butter workhorse too! There's a way to go and lots of improvements to come in the future ✌
I learnt more from the first 8 mins of this video than I have owning Scaler 2 for 3 months 😄
I love Scaler it is one of the amazing Vst in the market and very useful since I started my music production journey. Thank you David for explaining new features and also thank you for giving us this amazing and beautiful vst.
It is marvelous to see what's possible to accomplish with Scaler. I love to see your tutorials as they are straight and get to the point, thank you very much!
Thanks for feedback and good vibes. More coming soon!
@@SchoolofSynthesis I gladly pay for more tutorials like I did for the last you provided. Or you could setup a Patreon account for RUclips videos as I am sure there are more people out there giving you support via such channels
This is so incredibly cool. Thank you for videos. They are so informative and easy to follow. Showing the tool within the creative process really drives home how to practical apply the capabilities of the plugin.
Bravo to Scaler again cause it goes up and up!!!Thank you again!
Thank you for the updates. I love this software, definitely a go to. ❤
Scaler is awesome, and it gets better with every update! ❤
I was able to reproduce this song almost perfectly thanks to you, but the main thing was learning how to use this for a proper song. Good show.
Love the inclusion of niche genres like J-Pop and anime!
Very cool session sir. The melodic features sounds great
Great Vid again Davide.....
Scaler honestly has the best content. What a team!
Would be so dope to get some afrobeat, middle eastern and calypso chord sets in the future 🎉
Thanks Ben and good suggestions. Will put it on the list! Thanks.
Dont forget Amapiano chords as well.
@@davidecarbonemusic Dont forget Amapiano chords as well. That genre is becoming very big every single day.
@@dambajam 👏🏾fo sho. how would say they’re different from house or Afrobeat chords?
Just fantastic... more than before
What a beautiful melodic song👍🏾💯
I thought it was a dream when I saw scaler 2.8 RUclips notification
Such a useful plug in to help build song structure
great Video - Scaler is really awesome and for me with poor music-theory knowledge a absolute game changer - thank you.
Wooow, hope I can try those as soon as Scaler 2 can be properly installed into my Ipad. Relly beautiful sounds.
Scaler 2.8 just got beyond awesome
Very nicely done, Sir!
Thank you kindly!
amazing tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank David this bring a lot more idea and experimentation to the table and it would be really cool to see people come up with videos about how to use scaler for game soundtrack and orchestral since no one so far made one if i am correct.
Hey Peter I have done many game soundtracks using Scaler and there are a couple of vids on this channel where I demonstrate one or two and I have been keen on making a full orchestral score video too. Will get to it soon!
@@davidecarbonemusic That would be great David since i can see the potential for orchestral but i just have average theory so what i came up with so far is probably a very tiny exemple of what scaler can really do.
awesome thank you
Mannn I appreciate you!
Thanks Scaler you are the best
Awesome
Scaler is my absolute favourite AUV3 ❤
Thank you.
Wow ,,, I Cant wait to update mine :) ..
Interesting tool. Seems like an AI shortcut to actually writing and playing the music. Nice composition. I still enjoy putting fingers on the keyboard to create. Maybe this would help on those creatively stagnant days.
Great video, great product, I truly love it. What about adding some funky / groovy styles?
awesomee it'd be sick to see scaler 2 make a hyperpop track
A little bit long video, but always good. Thanks Davide.
I looked for the Japanese Scales (which I personally asked for a few years ago and am glad to see). But I can't find a video on it over at PB.
They are in 2.8 Just click on Scaler, Select the 'All Types' dropdown and scroll to the bottom of the list to see the Japanese Scales. Enjoy!
@@SchoolofSynthesis I'm sorry... I wasn't clear. I wanted to see "video" on the Japanese scales before attempting to use them. :-)
I know what I’m doing after work! 😃
Looking forward to the next update with "Instant FSOM Banger" feature !
Think you'll find Davide's new synth video has some FSOM about it ruclips.net/video/g14GfBbSEuo/видео.htmlsi=q89dACckD73Nxt55
Hi,
Great video!
How did you copy and move those 3 chords across at 08:30? Keep up the good work!!
Just lasso the chords you want to copy and move them or hold option key and drag to copy!
I sort of 'cringed' when I heard this was Anime...but this is just outstanding. Never thought Scaler could do a Stereolab type track (which this really is!)
i love scaler 2. Please dont make it a subscription like everyone else nowadays but i understood if you have to eventually
Hi David. I'm very impressed with the latest update of Scaler 2.8. I followed your anime demonstration but when I dragged the midi recording into the Scaler 2 track in Reaper for some reason, it plays back the chords in a different order when it uses Scaler 2's own Substantial synth as the playback instrument. Transfer the midi to say a track for Vivid Keys and it plays perfectly. Eventually I just created an empty Scaler 2 track with Substantial as the instrument and moved the exported midi to that. Seems OK doing that.
Hard to know what you are doing there but I wonder If you left the bind key on and were retriggering the triggers. If you are needing some help with scaler the community is a great place to go as there are thousands of helpful users over there forum.scalerplugin.com
Not sure about the binding so I will check that it's removed and try again, thanks.
Oh man now I have to buy Vocaloid .. :D
Free trial for 31 days give it a go!
I have Multivoice output set up with BBC orchestra in reaper using Sustains. I have scaler on track 1, then i make 5 other tracks each with BBC discovery free orchestra. I then set those tracks to recieve the midi from the track with scaler channels ch6(contrabass) ch5(Cello) ch4(Viola) ch3(violins2) ch2(violins1) and channel 1 comes out in the scaler track right. So what I do next is in Reaper we can use track "input fx" these are pre fx before the sound, so what I do is a put a midi note filter that turns off keys 1 to 127 and only allows the CC values for modwheel and sliders to come thru. I set this midi filter as an input fx on every track with the BBC discovery instruments.
Then I keybind my chord set in scaler, enable all tracks to be turned on(ready for recording) I can play the chords using keybind with one finger and control the modwheel for every track all at the same time, my chord is spread out properly to each track how it should be. This is a massive time saver. I will be making a tutorial on this eventually. The reason why i use BBC discovery is I found out that Kontakt does not allow midi to pass thru. So we can't actually use Kontakt libraries for this template. So what i do next is I have a custom button in Reaper I made that will legato and overlap 5 pixels. I can do this to all tracks at once then just move the midi over to a better string library from Kontakt. This is the fastest method online for composing lush strings and have all the CC lane done instant. Thanks for making that mutli voice option. I will be making a tutorial on this eventually. It may only work in Reaper.
please do because i cant get scaler to work properly in reaper. divisi 4 part dosent work at all. thanx
@@anthonythompson1659 I will try to have it uploaded in the next 2 to 3 weeks, very busy with music work atm. And I need to make another tutorial on making custom articulation banks for Reaper's Reaticulate program. I don't think a lot of Reaper users know about this.
@@maplefoxx6285 that's what's up
I've had this question for a while and haven't been able to find the answer yet, hopefully you can answer. When using "Suggest Mode", does scaler only take into account the chord selected and the ones before it? What if you choose a chord in the middle of the pattern? It would be cool to have a starting chord and final chord that you like and then use the suggest mode to find chords in the middle. Is that better suited for one of the other tabs (Chord or Mod) even if you're not attempting to change the key?
Yes correct takes from the chord you suggested and those before into consideration. Like a suggest 'from'.
Hello everyone,
I am having problems playing chords.
Since I’m not good at music theory, I want to use the Key-Lock Function so that when I press a key, the chord of a certain scale plays.
My problem is that when I press the E key for an E min chord, it plays a G maj chord.
What is the problem?
I have looked for several hours to see what the problem is, but I can’t find a solution.
I´m using FL Studio.
Can you help me? I would really appreciate it.
great as usuall but i would really love to see some improvements on the UI on that top part "Performance" - there ar so many catalogs there its too confusing switching these now.
Agreed Blasi, as does Davide and the DEVS, stay tuned.
Thanks Davide. I have Scaler 2.8.2, vst3 in Studio One 6, but I don't see slap bass among the instruments. Thank you.
It disappeared with the 2.8.1 update somehow and is making a comeback in 2.9!
@@SchoolofSynthesis thanks.
It would be great if Scaler had the option to use the top note of a chord as the melody of a song, to be able to come up with colorful chord progressions
Thanks Pat. Feedback passed on. There's lots on the way in that area so stay tuned.
I can't download the upgrade, it asks what app should I open a pkg file? 😢
Very interesting! Is it possible to get the real MIDI of the chords into the tracks? So that small changes could be made...
Yes it is. Just select all the notes from scaler and drag into your DAW . Same as performances
Hi David I am having problems dragging midi from scalar into vocalod 6 in cubase 12 pro windows 10 any suggestions. Thanks
Hey Chris make sure you have created a track in vocaloid6 first
Hello, why since the update I no longer find Scaler 2 in my midi effects for controlling my vst in Logic Pro X?
Go back to your account at Plugin Boutique and select Scaler 2.8.2 and download and install it. There was a bug in an earlier 2.8.2 installer which was replaced with the one they have now. That should do it.
Is there any way to make Scaler not play the cord when you click and drag on a chord with the cursor? It plays at a high velocity and sometimes it's extremely loud compared to what I'm actually working on. Love to know if I'm missing something here!
You can adjust the UI Chord Velocity in settings to make it whatever volume you like!
How do I get help with the course? Lot
s of questions/ problems. So far disappointing
Interesting. The result sounds like Pocari Sweat commercial song.
Great Tutorial as always Davide
. I have some issues with the 2.8 update. When I load the plugin ableton crashes. I tried all ableton suite versions from 9 to 11 they all crash. I never had this issue with previous scaler versions. Anyone else has come across this issue? I would love to try the new ambient and anime chord sets. Thank you
Hey Sonic, there was an issue with windows users where if they didn't install the full package including extra sounds it would crash Scaler. Either run the installer and install all of the sounds or download the new installer from Plugin Boutique which has fixed the issue.
@@davidecarbonemusic Awesome Davide! Will try that. Thanks for the quick response and awesome work you do. So much appreciated. I wish you a blessed week
@@davidecarbonemusic it worked :)) thanks
I don't see an upgrade link at plugin boutique...
Go to Plugin Boutique / your account, select Scaler, click on the dropdown menu to find Scaler 2.8
What drum patch did you use?
Hi Michael, there's a mixture of kicks, snares, hats and shakers from various sources. Not any one kit or patch.
as far as I know vocaloid is not using any AI technology to synthesize vocals but just a bunch of samples that are crossfaded and resampled in smart ways, but yeah. it's a cool tool. i can also see how the chords have a certain anime vibe. i wouldn't agree with the sound choice though. it makes it feel more like a chillout/downbeat rather than a cute and cozy anime vibe, but it's good enough as a scaler demonstration video
Vocaloid6 uses AI generative synthesised vocals. No samples there and as AI as AI can be. And yes one persons trash in another persons treasure - case in point the few comments before you loved the track. We are indifferent!
@@SchoolofSynthesis i see, you are not a fan of downbeat, or think it's somehow less cool than anime. i'm sorry then. i like both genres
@@Beatsbasteln I much prefer downbeat but that's just me!
I love all the long lists but perhaps you can create a global setting that will sort lists on recent use. Or an option to ⭐️anything which will show up in favorites on top of every list possible. I mean if a user always likes or uses the bottom options of a list the user gets punished for doing so. This a huge workflow request that simply is not solved by presets. Or what about hiding categories/scales etc. just a few ideas.
All on our list MAM. Stay tuned.
@@davidecarbonemusic thank you. Hopefully a recent list. Just kidding. Thanks!
I wonder what Scaler 3 would give us.
We are all excited by what the team does next! For now the updates have kept us busy.
@@SchoolofSynthesis They should add features to what Captain Plugins have done to compete :) it'll be worth paying for the upgrade for sure when they do things like this, less clutter in your plugin library
@@SchoolofSynthesis
1) AI powered expressions and styles - ability to prompt Scaler = James Brown style chords in the rhythm of ......
2) New Artist/Style/Expressions Browser with tagging, similar to CableGuys Shaper or Omnisphere (as a reference) but better of course.
Just like to say, Scaler is an amazing tool - Kudos to the team & developers!
I would love more guitar voicing options!
@@jthemix4636 1) Might not even run on most computers, and would probably require a huge AI model. Though I would see this somehow. Maybe as a separate product.
Why i find scaler audio but not scaler control?
Scaler Control is a MIDI FX only available in Logic Pro, you can route to third party instruments in any DAW. For some more help with the software head over to forum.scalerplugin.com or check out the official Scaler 2 Course
@@SchoolofSynthesis thanks so much!
the link to Plugin Boutique Scaler 2 is invalid
Fixed - thanks for spotting!
Jesus can I catch up to 2.5 wooow
Ifl Scaler 2 but how do i open it in logic for ipad? Midi effect and as an instrument?
I think it's a me problem and I should rtfm
@@false-set Ha you can open either. Works well but the GUI is a bit awkward as DEVS have said they haven;t had much time with Logic Pro but working on improving that experience!
@@SchoolofSynthesis Scaler has some REALLY nice sounds, that felt piano... perfect. I think I'm gonna take the course.
He did not explain how he put those trigger chords in the midi editor of Logic.
Hello David! I am an scaler 2 user and have purchased the item for my computer two years ago! Now, I get a new computer but I do not see my serial number on Plugin Boutique where I bought scaler2! I have my invoice with me! Can you help me?
Hey Leon, we don't have anything to do with Scaler 2 in terms of sales. That is handled by Plugin Boutique. Give them a email outlining your situation, if you purchased Scaler 2 then it will only have come from Plugin Boutique and they will be able to help you.
@@SchoolofSynthesis Thanks a lot!
👍🏾❤👍🏾🔥
Latest version does not work in Reason. It just comes up with a Hardware Exception error.
Works fine on our end. Given your error I am assuming it relates to something else. Try reinstalling (please install all content including extra sounds) and restarting your machine, if you are still having trouble please head over to forum.scalerplugin.com
@@SchoolofSynthesis That fixed it. It did not like not having the all the soundpacks installed.
Also can you create a melody making video
Try this @George ruclips.net/video/54ia9VsINaE/видео.htmlsi=TVUTV7wkq50Fnge9&t=844
if you buy the pro version and upgrade from the trial of scaler 2. expect your app to run a5 10-15 fps, it only stays at a normal framerate for about 30-40 seconds and then it becomes very very choppy, so when you drag your chords around it drags behind your finger about 1-2 seconds, im using an ipad with an a15 chip, i can play gta v on boosteroid without frameloss and no latency this app should be able to run smoothly, i suggest no onebuy it until its fixed cuz its outclassed by other apps that are cheaper and dont overheat the devices
Hi leader, not sure what's going on there but it is fine for tens of thousands of users on iPad. We've tested and use it daily an don't have those issues. May I suggest you head over to forum.scalerplugin.com and let the devs know what setup you are using including whether you are running standalone, within a DAW, AUM etc so someone can attempt to help you. Devs are really good at addressing things. Hope that helps.
Is the update free?
Yes all Scaler 2 updates are free!
Apple silicon support ?
Apple silicon has been supported for a while now, make sure you've downloaded the latest update from your Plugin Boutique account
@@SchoolofSynthesis will check again.. thank you !
I just bought Scaler. It appears to be missing the slap bass.
Yes the devs noticed it somehow disappeared in the Mac installer in 2.8. Is making a comeback in 2.9 due q1 24!
🔥🔥🔥DC WEEB Trax lol🔥🔥🔥
He makes it look so easy but when I use Scaler,I am lost.
Nice video. The jacket rustling is distracting though.
The extract the voicing part.He was way too quick.
I don't know what he did to change the voicing.
Does Scaler 2.8 can do this? Or easy way in Scaler?
ruclips.net/video/1dRA28cdt5c/видео.htmlsi=NykXei9K_hJtMTc3
yes, go to the MOD (Modulation) page and select the MODAL INTERCHANGE preset!
You need to have a very advanced grip on music theory to use Scaler 2 otherwise you are pissing in the wind.
I mean all the modes like Dorian.
Would not have a clue which mode to use.
1st of all I love your work, sir. But Scaler 2.8 is crashing Studio one 6 6.1.1 on Mac osx 12.6
Devs identified an issue where windows users were not installing the full package and it would cause a crash so either install the full package (with extra sounds) or get the latest installer from PIB which fixes this issue. Hope that helps.
@@SchoolofSynthesis thank you so much for the quick reply. I'll try the install with sounds this time
I got through thank u
What does the minimise button do?
Scaler too complicated for me.
Only designed for people who are Einstein.
Anime-I?
We see what you did there!😄
Scaler ISNT ai - thats a tool full of music theory - what most of the musicans never know...
!!!!!!! Why doesn't Scaler 2 work anymore in Version 2.7.2 + 2.7.3 +2.8.0 // only Version 2.7.0 works fine !! (Windows 7 / PC / Cubase 9.5 ) 😢😢😢 extremely annoying !!!!!!
Hi, Microsoft dropped support for Windows 7 in 2020. It's a 15 year old OS and it's extremely difficult for developers to support an unsupported OS.
@@SchoolofSynthesis But when you bought Scaler 2, it says that it works in Windows 7. Otherwise I would not have bought it! In 'Scaler 3' it would have been fine if you didn't support Windows 7 anymore. But suddenly stopping Windows 7 support is very annoying. In addition, Scaler 2 says in the product description that it runs in Win 7.
@@SchoolofSynthesis (btw) Windows 7: The brand new highly complex chord program 'Toontrack EZkeys 2' also supports Windows 7 ! So it's entirely possible.
@@RenevolutionAccount But it does work in Windows 7, just use Scaler 2.7. You've been using it since 2.0 with full support, but software is dropping windows 7 support since Microsoft stopped supporting it. We're not sure what the devs can do about it but go over to forum.scalerplugin.com to see if there is a dev response there. Don't think we've seen much demand for Windows 7 support from our end.
because anime was written in the scaler or because you took Vocaloid it did not become an anime track. It sounds like weird old-fashioned music, not at all cute and completely devoid of feelings. and also the progression of chords on only iii degrees.. using gray chords you do not become jazz players, you become someone who stuffed just what was at hand. I would listen to at least one soundtrack from the anime and watch the progression before writing in the name of the anime
Anime chords?… oh you mean gospel/acidjazz chords.
How is this anime music lol?
I'm a huge fan of Scaler and what David did in terms of programming, education and the latest Scaler course. I'm sorry, but this last update is a complete disappointment. This new stuff sounds horrible. New features make no sense at all. Where you find all this stuff to add to your backlog? I see no way someone can use this "anime" stuff in a meaningful way.
I don't want to be rude, but the development team moves in the wrong direction...
Hey Justin, Davide is only using one of the 66 chord sets which is amongst just some of the material in Scaler 2.8 There lots more have you downloaded and have a listen? So if you don't like the anime stuff, you may find something in the other 99% of new material in 2.8
@@SchoolofSynthesis My point was a bit different. Maybe someone will like it, but I mean minority. You better interview your users, ask them questions and use case scenarios and create videos that answer some common questions, show workflows, examples, full track creation in different styles, etc. Something valuable and boring, not something useless but shiny. Thanks for your work anyway! Scaler is an awesome plugin
