    Scaler is the best plugin I have ever bought. Its so useful at any stage in production. My advice is to just go buy it if you have the money now or if not wait for a sale. It is 100% worth every penny.

      Yeah I got it a few ,oaths ago and use it all the time. Need more videos like this, suppose I should do the course I got with it. I think it needs an update though because the GUI can be extremely slow and unresponsive on my m1Pro. Also it needs better timing adjustment for chord length

    I've been thinking about using Scaler to create some jazz backing tracks I can later use with my wind controller and Audio Modeling's SWAM Trumpet, Tenor Sax, etc, but after watching this, I realize that a better approach might be to play, say, a trumpet solo FIRST, then use your method to let Scaler determine the harmonization of my melody, i.e, suggesting the best chords to use, etc.

    This is THE most useful and concise tutorial for Scaler 2 I've seen. Scaler 2 is a very very powerful plug-in that I've had for a while, but have yet to fully wrap my head around as far as where it fits in my specific work flow.
    I typically start with a sample, come up with my own bass line, then try to work out the key and the chords, This tip is a godsend for my use case. Thank you so much.

    excellent - when is the Scaler 2 Upgrade Coming out?

  • @ShynAwkward
    @ShynAwkward Год назад +4

    Scaler 2 needs a metronome for STANDALONE functionality.
    As it currently stands, there is no way for Scaler 2 to play a consistent chord sequence OUTSIDE of a DAW.
    Even within a vst wrapper - Scaler chords will just play with random timings.
    This is because Scaler 2 has no INTERNAL tempo/metronome to adjust the BPM when used OUTSIDE of a DAW (this is a VERY important feature for songwriting/practice purposes).
    Please, add a volume adjustable metronome for STANDALONE use.
    Thanks! ❤

    What if we want to record Scaler's chords straight into a midi track without having to drag and drop? For example, say I bind a set of chords to some keys, but when I hit record in my DAW, I want Scaler's version of those chords to appear in the piano roll as I press their respective keys. Is that possible?

So you would have to work first with the scaler built-in sounds. Other option way more straightforward would be swappin your 3xosc for some other pluggin and avoid all the hurdle.
