- So I was asked to do a difficult thing ... comparing Atom Bombs to Ray Blasters?! Plugin Boutique Scaler OR Mixedinkey Captain Plugins? Why would anyone ever asked that kind of question?!!

Thanks MG. Super dope vid. I'm getting both. #IncomeTaxTime
nicoleon1209 🙏🙏🙏
nicoleon1209 💪🙏💯
Lol
😂
Send me d files plz i cant afford.. lol
I went with Scaler. I grew up playing brass (classical and jazz). My ears know what works, but my fingers have no idea how to create those sounds on a keyboard. I appreciate the way Scaler ramps the process of discovery.
I feel like the whole of the production community on youtube should thank you for these videos... I know the pride of a lot of content creators won't allow them to thank you for these gems so I'm thanking you on behalf of everyone that didn't know this before. Thank you, man!
Drkk I appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏
I want to say thank you for making this (even though I'm watching it over two and a half years after the fact). I was curious on the differences between Captain and Scalar, and this video definitely helped me determine that Scalar is perfect for how I do things. Will grab the demo tonight after I'm done with work, but if this pans out like the Kilohearts demo did, I'll probably be pulling the trigger tonight as well.
Again, thanks!
I've been using Captain plugins for some time, and I'm so comfortable with it. I think Scaler2 is going to be a Cherry on top of my toolbox list. Thanks this was a non-bias and informative review. THANK YOU!!!
MG, thank you for taking the time to create these very informative, honest, inspiring videos. Each video you made, has helped me out tremendously in becoming the musician I have always imagined myself being. Once again, Thank you. Peace and blessings!
DJ SemaJ 206 James Holmes peace brother ✌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks for this! Was about to go with Captain Chords but I’m on the Army and about to go on a 5 month mission. Going with Scaler now
I`ll go for Scaler first ... but ill get captain plugins eventually ... thanks, MG!!! You are the best!!!!
Just subscribed. Appreciate the in depth review on these; your the first one I've found that wasn't pushing one or other and looking at everything objectively. I'll probably start out with scaler after watching this vid.
No prob! Thanks for checking it out. Scaler is dope
In Captain Chords, you can hit the '+' sign to the right of 'rest', type the name of your chord and it will create it. That way you can create jazz, chord progressions.
Thanks bro!
Saw you on instagram on a post about Captain Plugins, cool you did a video on these plugins because this is exactly what I googled and you were the only relevant video. Thanks for getting into it, this helped a lot! Subscribed.
Appreciate it 🙏
Thanks for all the vids as a producer there are so many plugins but your vids always give me a clear picture if I should get it or not thanks bro subbed keep on the good work.
It's year of jack of all trades producers w/ hacks and creativity
Reyhan Joseph facts 💯💯
You definitely clarified things for me. I'm going to get Scaler first, then double back for captain after I get Serato sample.
Candice Famber that's a solid plan 💯🙏
USMC Combat Vet Producer right here.... shout out all the other vets making music ! love the videos man dig the channel keep it up
🙏🙏
ARMY vet producer! whats up guys!
Prod By Skynny 10-year Artillery chief. Now a wanna be DnB and Trap producer...but I guess we all start somewhere. Big up to MG for the great content, and big up to all the veterans holding it down in the studio.
bro, just discovered your site today. Love the theory dives you make....thank you.
I appreciate you stopping by! I do random discussion only videos too. Im doing one in a minute - synchronicity is real out here.
huge subscriber to the synchronicity theory existing.. going to spend rest of day till kickoff of SB digging into your channel. i use logic, but am able to watch and learn from you as you teach it in a way that makes DAW irrelevant. most tutorials don't do that, and i don't watch any that aren't in Logic. So kudos for that...and i am only 30 minutes in to this discovery of your channel. Cant wait to see what else is in here.
elaute1 ah man..i appreciate that! Im just teaching things that way because its true..."which daw" is gonna be as relevant as "which workstation keyboard" soon. Its all moving really fast to me right now...so i try to focus on comments and talks to make new videos. The paper trail of these videos leads to my theory on tomorrows music business...as result
cheers from England for the vid mate !
Thanks so much for this video man! I was sold on Captain but now I'm thinking Scaler might be a better 'all-rounder' for doing jazz, pop, and orchestral/soundtrack etc?
Big respect! :)
Great job reviewing these, both of these companies owe you some💰For me Scaler seems to be the go to as it firmly address the help I need with in understanding music theory better & creating chord progressions. Captain Chords seems to be too restricted while Scaler can guide you with exotic modes if needed.
DJ Chosen One captain considers "flow" that's all, its big on diatonic progressions...which are smoother. Scaler will let you go out of key, like you said, allows for more exotic happenings
The cool workaround to test drive Captain Plugins (CP) is the iOS app Odesi by Mixed In Key and it is priced low enough for usage by anyone who may not have internet access at some unexpected point in time.
It is impossible to not add the other possible plugin choice at some point in time! To anyone on the fence, add both as soon as it feels comfortable to you!
Mixed In Key is offering the desktop version of Odesi with CP for only $20 more ($99 total).
Odesi Chords on iOS and CP ARE NOT THE SAME THING but Odesi Chords on iOS does offer a bank of interchangeable chord progressions, basslines, and drums! It also does offer a midi export feature!
I only bought Scaler first before CP because I saw it on Plugin Boutique first:)
When I recognized that Mixed In Key actually developed CP and I was already a customer of theirs AND CP ACTUALLY OFFERS OUT OF SCALE ENHARMONIC CHORDS, it was a done deal on becoming a repeat customer!
There is another iOS app that I have been using just for the acceleration of my music theory understanding and it breaks down the music theory to permanently understand what is going on at all times musically.
The genius is Gregory Moody and his company is Creative Music Ventures.
The iOS app is Piano Guitar Harmony MIDI Studio Pro! He has videos here on RUclips and hardcopy courses beyond the PDFs within the app.
I have bought all the courses within the app even though I never bought the MIDI export or THE RUN MACHINE features.
Moody teaches how to find multiple suitable chords for any given melody and bass note combination!
The key to remember is that there are bridges between smartphones, DAWs, and plugins! Exclude none of them and combine as many as your budget will allow:)
Keep it simple!
Thanks MG for another great video and you are pushing my secret buttons to go as deep as I can into learning more about modes than I expected to!
🙏🙏🙏
Great video showing how you can use these two plug-ins together. The obvious answer to "Which one?" seems to be "Both!", though I'm going to start with getting Captain.
Thanks! And that is the correct answer..lol
I just subscribed to your channel today and you already got me spending money 😂😂 Great video bro. Imma get Scaler FIRST only cause I’m also getting Serato Sample too. Next check I might get Captain Chord. Thanks again.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You have to be online to create chords ??? Captain chord is definitely the LOSER of this duel with this restriction and should rather be compared to the online chord generators. Thank you for this very helpful comparison.
Yes I understand this security measure but they must also understand that they will lose a good half of mobile users who often create with a laptop away from the world :)
I just noticed after using the Scaler demo that it does not propose any chord progression, but rather the available chords in the scale defined or detected in the order: 1,2,3,4,5,6 , 7, with variations for each chord. it is very similar to Cthulhu with a simpler interface, less arpeggio and no possibility of defining his own chords.
I also regret the no possibility to lock the scale and key.
it is still an excellent tool to harmonize quickly, it can be compared to the excellent Synelor Harmony Improvisator which is much more rich, more complex and much harder to master.
I got a new video coming - which will clear a lot of that up. Scaler "proposed" progressions are simply the Song & Artist Packs ...whereas captain lends to "I-IV-V" style. When you load a artist song...you will see those variables on the chords themselves...horizontally in order. So its all good. Also, sites like Hooktheory and Chordify will provide endless amounts of progressions via Key & Degree....you can just make them and save them in Scaler as you go.
For me, Im just using both to my best abilities..which will be realized in my new upload.
Yes it's true that we can already do pretty well with the chord progression proposed in "Artist" and "Song".
it's been two days that I have fun with and I find it very intuitive, ostensibly, it offers nothing new compared to others, however it is so well organized and easy to use that it inspires more than others. This is currently one of my favorite chordbuilder.
Apart from the online sites you mentioned, the only effective softs / vst that I know at the moment and that offer chords progression according to your personal melody are Biab and in another way, EZkeys.
There is also the top of the top : Cognitone, but that's another world and especially another budget :)
I'm waiting for your video, thank you for sharing and good music!
Degage DeLa thanks for the insight 🙏 captain chords is grinding tho! A lot of new tools beyond chords are coming. The new video is up... "captain Scaler"
Good evening MG I been watching you for a while.. You have amazing tips and information about music theory and some..... I so cant wait to see the video on Scaler with Reason 10 using the functions to play any other VST sound in Scaler besides the default piano sound that comes with it Thanks
It will require an update. The Pluginboutique website lists all the apps that support "Midi Routing". Right now ableton is king in terms of support. Reason is listed...so thats a good sign that it may be worked on next. I think reason itself, needs VST 3.4 support -which will solve a lot of 3rd party VST issues. Or simply support AU instead on MAC. Either OR...we wait. But don't sleep on drag and drop.
MG The Future. Thanks for the respond. And yes the drag and drop is a great starting point as you showed closing your video adding the Duo to it. #bangout
The chord features in Cubase is the best implementation i have ever seen
Why do you think Cubase Chord Assistant is better than, say Captain Chords, Scaler, or something else? Can you (or anyone) elaborate more on this please?
Very useful information, thank you!
"That would be impossible and irresponsible "🤣 should be on a t shirt - Great and balanced review!
I love your vids, I've learnt tons from you😎
Back making music for a year with abelton how things of changed from the days of using a good old s3000xl with cuebase
I've got scaler after seeing you mess with it but will buy captain too , both good tools for greeting things going
Cheers m,g for your time
Thanks for checking it out!
thank u for ur time to explain very helpful and honest
Will Captain work on an iPad? I'm a Windows user but was thinking to use Captain on an iPad to sketch ideas and then export midi. I'd probably get both. Funny I had the tab for Captain open since I got the email a while ago and just never got around to reading up on it. Your vids got me hyped though!
rockhills not sure boss, only things I use on iPad is beatmaker3 and korg gadget
The comparison at 12:50 is (unintentionally) misleading. Scaler is playing a bass note on piano. If you get Captain Deep to play a bass note on piano alongside Captain Chords and set complexity and inversions properly you can get the same vibe with minimal differences. If required you can also add *another* instance of Captain Deep (e.g. to play bass guitar).
Yeah its been updated since this vid...but there's many levels of complexity to use scaler and others. Got a few more vids on it
Nice build. the only downside I can see is the need to be connected to the net with Captain. Outside of that I think its a no brainer to invest into both.
Bk Banga yeah my military fam is not a fan of that reality either
Scaler has more chord substitution choices. Also didn't see the clever detection ability in Captain Chords. That can be huge for the theory challenged if you bang out a couple chords and a couple melody notes and want some help on possible directions to go, the scale/mode selector from detected content makes it truly unique.
I'd stick that arepeggiation you added at 26:00 instead on a copy of the chords with a Bass VST!
Yeah the Detector is a BIG Deal. I have a few "exotic" ideas for it - since it wants to be all helpful and all.
I would spend a lot more time with Scaler if they made the progression builder at the bottom syncable to the daw and add some rhythm / Swing options. An Arpeggiator would be nice as well.
Best video thank you bro 🔥💯
Super informative, earnt my sub.
Thank you! So much knowledge being shared, much appreciated!!
Blake Heart appreciate you 🙏
you cranking on all my devices now... Lol currently tuned in
Bk Banga 🙌🏾😭
Got both now! Thanks man! Real dope
Good to hear! I hope you get the most out of em!
Yooh Bro you got to check out native instruments Session Guitarist and Session Strummer(s), if you already didn't, the are part of my "Godmode" system and I love it. play in one midi part copy them and you got different rhythms playing along. Fantastic results for me. Stay cool!
Thanks. I use Reason A-List guitarists for that kind of behaviors.
As a noobie wannabee - more into IT (no music theory experience!) just love NI products - so I know I need Bluecat to patch - but I ask the question which would you suggest Scaler2 or CC5 - (I have EZ keys and instachord) you make it look so easy - so just wanna give it a shot. Thanks in advance...
Both are great. Scaler is good for theory, CC is good for patterns
this answered my question... Thanks!
Getting both. But it appears now, they both work with windows and Mac.
Thx for another great video. I'm with you I think for the price and what they do I have to have both!!!
mrmcsolo 🙏💯💯
Nice review. Appreciate it.
You have a great channel man. I found it just a few days ago.
I appreciate it 🙏
YOU PUT IN THAT WORK MAN. GOOD SHII
Thanks for checking this out
Nice vid! You should also check out Sundog Sound Studio. Would love to know what you think. I love that you can set up your patterns then play in any key and scale then switch key and/or scale while it is playing to play with which sounds best. Anyways, great channel!
I was just listening to MG in 48Khz because that's what my arrow was set to and it sounds like he's mad young lol
Awesome tutorial MG! I've always had a problem when I drag and drop midi progressions from EZY Keys into FL Studio, in that I can only drag once - it replaces but does not add to the progression. For eg, if I have already dragged/dropped 4 bars of verses into my piano roll, I cannot add another four bars later if I worked on a new part. I could do that in Garageband but not in fl studio 20. I am wondering whether this limitation also applies to Captain Chords or Scaler. The reason I ask is because so far, your tutorials only involve four chords and 4 bars so you only need to drag/drop once. Is that a limitation for you as well? I work in spurts. I may add want to a bridge later but the drag/drop function replaces my original stuff inside piano roll of fl studio, instead of adding new bars. Hope I'm making sense. Any help is deeply appreciated.
In FL studio, I’m not sure if there is a limit, but if there is I would create another pattern to continue and then play it via song mode.
I use short progressions for the kind of music I make. At max I’ll use 3 patterns, if I’m doing bridges and turn arounds.
Thanks for your fast response. Yep, that's sorta my workaround now. It's hard to explain why I prefer to add the bars like I used to in GB but I still think Captain plug-ins and Scaler both look awesome the way you've explained them. Esp. love your hacking tutorials. Keep 'em coming!
pretty much, I'm glad that Scaler is on Windows.
Yeah, im looking forward to future modules
Great review.... Will likely Get Captain chords first then scaler
Thanks! Yeah thats a good move. Most music is diatonic anyway - and captain currently handles that. They may expand chord sets and scales soon as well.
both are great to have! why limit ourselves? it feels morally wrong to even consider getting these lol but i guess i gotta get with the times and let this help me become the best musician i can be. p.s. to whoever thinks buying these is shameful, don’t let pride get the best of you!
🙏🙏🙏
youre right bro i need both
It be like that sometimes...lol
good review man.. Thanks.
Np 🙏
this help my decision for sure.. i have odesi and its cool but when it comes to trying to make a jazz chord or anything outside of pop type cords i was struggling so basically i spent my little 50 for nothing specially because i dont like being on the net when making beats well not all the time.. im going with scaler.. thanks
I'd hold on, they're expanding all of it...as result of this issue.
But C chords is not only major and minor. It also had exotic scales etc.
Just wondering have you ever used or have feedback on Melody Sauce by Eva Beat? Or Riffer by Audio Modern?
Great video. Looking like scaler for me the internet connection is a no go for me
Understood. Scaler is a good one 🙏🏽
thanks MG
Man this kills me knowing that you dont even have to know music theory anymore. As a musician that has put in the many hours of becoming good at progressions it just makes me want to get even better but what ever. Dont complain just work harder !!! Good vid man I'm still a fan and appreciate the knowledge you share !!
Think of it this way, your skill set allows you to work faster and more intuitively. This still requires trial and error to make something "good". Let alone a myriad of hacks (as seen on my IG) to get to a level where you can sample it. It's not a magic key...or if it is...people still gotta find the door. This allows people who could never figure it out...start to figure it out. And in time...people will take the training wheels off. In the meantime...the music starts to get better. This leads to better songs. This leads to a healthier market place ...all wins. Perspective 🙏
Camgocrvzy what's crazier...that I'm up to respond so fast or the fact I just wrote a blog post about this mgthefuture.com/blog/blog/making-trapanese-the-art-of-music-theory - funny how the universe works 😂😂😂
It can be abused like that i agree. But it definitely can be used as a aiding and learning tool. At least that is the appeal i see for myself in it.
I don't think today's young music listening audience really demands all that much from their music anymore. so its all fair.
I think I'm gunna try out Captain Plugins now that it has a windows full release
MG, what is the extent of your music theory education and did you learn through jazz theory or a more classical approach?
MrMagicpantz200 none. Only what i could understand on my own
Nice and informative review bro. Thanx!!
for me I like captains chord's interface more. but scaler ir more usefull. Just waiting for a vst that mimic Cubase's chord track here.
Sundog Song Studio maybe what you're looking for. Im trying out another VST demo made by the same company.
yap nobody has been able to replicate the features in Cubase sadly
yeah íve seen it.
I've seen most of them actually. EZkeys is also a good one.
but still Cubase's Chord track is superior to them all (in my opinion)
Perhaps....what I'm using with scaler and captain does everything I need. Hit one key and Gerate all bass, melodies, and counter melodies with no issue ...for less than 99$ ...or....cubase
thanks great vid do you know when captain plugins coming to windows? i wanna get both
much thankx 4 the video.
No problem, thank you for watching!
That was a helpful overview of these two plugins. However, it would have been better with a more tightly focused and crisply edited dialog.
Agreed, with a nice budget and additional persons ...it could be just that.
Always good to have different tools!
Hate to do this to you, but have you tried out xfer cthulu? Not better or worse, just different.
I haven't, keep hearing it. Is it worth being a 3rd? 🤔
It's a different approach...more for physically playing than the theory end of things, so perfect for someone who wants to try things without having to learn chords. I dunno, hard to describe. It maps out chords to your keyboard so that you can play a chord with one finger. One of those things where you'd have to try it to know. I watched a few vids on it and while demo-ing it things just felt more experimentally open than I thought it would be while watching. ( As a plus - the guy who created it answers questions in the forum himself. I always like that. )
Captain Play does something similar with the qwerty. Fixes voicing as you play it. Very cool feature. I'll watch something about the Xfer one.
Thanks for this video. I now produce 2 years of EDM (Deephouse / techhouse). Now I am looking for a plugin that can help me with making melodies / chords. I work with FL studio and came across the plugin Scaler and plugin Cthulhu (Xfer), are they not nearly the same? And I read on the website that Captain Chords does not go well with Fl studio?
Yeah I've had smoother results with ableton or studio one
You keep mentioning the ghost channels in FL but do you know if there’s something similar in ableton?
Will Sacks unfortunately. That's what makes fl great all these years. The other daws are catching on slowly. Ableton 10 seems to address it
Help us get Reason to use MIDI EFFECTS so that we can run Scaler *inside* Reason! There's just no reason to Reason not supporting MIDI effects. So besides Scaler, we can't use:
- Microtonic (yes it has sounds, but will just output the midi patterns)
- Xronomorph (free)
- Kirnu Cream
- Cthulhu
and on and on and on!
Reason needs to get out of the 90s and become a full featured sequencer.
I'm sure with the amount of new attention and progress Propellerhead made with 10, that they are motivated to continue to move. Im certain "finance" is a big reason for a lot of delays. Remember a lot of this stuff is pirated - which leads to companies making "lefT" decisions. From Captain to Propellerhead. This year seems to be the first year I see the "general" conversation be about support and buying what we use. As such...time and money...we will see things improve. Until then - Drag and Drop & Utilities won't slow us down until.
Nice vid... Which one to pick? If you are on Windows you only can use Scaler...
Captain chords is working on a windows beta as we type. Should be out next week or 2
I bought Odesi by Mixed in Key about 6 months before Captain Chords even existed. Have you used Odesi because it seems to be the same as Captain Chords. What's the difference?
mastaojo check the website out again, they break it down, my first time hearing of them in active capacity was this video.
I bought Odesi by Mixed in Key maybe 8 ago
months you can use the presets or make your own
chords,melodies,basslines and drums all in odesi seems like mixed keys just took those 3 features thats in obesi and made 3 new seperat vst's .I would just by odesi it works on Pc & Mac ..
A couple of things, captain is indeed a modular version of odesi. Which is great because it allows you to keep your native DAW workflow. Also, it's coming to PC, that was their priority one as of this video. Also, for the price...it could of just been one module and been crazy. But this 4 modules (captain play just dropped) will soon be 8 or more. So...it's a good investment either way.
Its nice enjoy the vids you do to
brah keep up the good work
I’m sold. Plugin boutique and captain plugins pay this guy. Lol
Thanks for checking this out 🙏
MG The Future No problem man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of music production.
I have a challenge for you. Can you do a tutorial on how we can use Cthulhu in Maschine or Reason with Scaler or Captain plugins?
Maschine? That's a good one to use it In, but I don't use any NI products. As far as Reason - check out my "players" video on my Reason playlist. It's the best way, imo, to do music theory tasks in Reason. I think reasons modular approach is better than some of the plugins. For instance, captain requires me to edit with piano roll...which is perfect in FL. Reason kinda makes you play along...which is dope if you got a nice midi controller.
MG The Future I’ll check it out. Thanks!
very dope!
Thank you for checking it out!
18:21 "impossible and irresponsible" lol!
ha! lol
Captain chords only on Mac is tragic... so scaler wins for the moment lol
Rsonist114 yeah man, it's temporary 🙏
Had to switch to my phone so I can comment this emoji.....🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯....... Copped both!
cee more I'm on the old iOS so I can't even see it 😭 but thanks🙏 you're gonna have a good time
MG The Future 😂😂😂 it's the "mind blown" emoji. I've been looking at these for a minute but you solidified the purchase justification. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Also interested in hearing your thoughts on Cthulu if you're so inclined to share them.
cee more not on the same level
I take both!!!
Stèf Han 👌🏌🏽
Thanks A LOT 4 your time and dedication ... would be great (as you´re a Reason 10 user) if you can compare both C Chords and Scaler "combined" with Players (Scales and Chords)... Big hug from Argentina (and sorry for my basic english!)
Greetings Argentina 🙏 I did that at the end here...you can use Reason to "filter" the results, change key...change expression with arpeggio. All 3 are valuable. Just gotta figure out the CPU usage issue or be ok with removing the instances.
Yesss!, sorry, now with less hurry, I'm seeing it!! (my little daughter just asked me: are you chatting with the guy who sings "I feel it Coming"...?!) Greetings again, and thank you for your answer!!
haha! 🙏🙏🙏 - Thats interesting comparison she made! But I'm glad it helps
What up my fellow Reason user
AHAHAHA...LIKE ALWAYS VERY INTUITIF VIDEO & GREAT TIPS .... THANKS TO YOUUU... ;-)
Rman Amuli 🙏
Captain requires Internet...Im getting more and more shook about Facebook and google invading my privacy so I may be disconnecting my studio pc soon...
EDM based and not windows focused...plus scaler lets you stack chords and diminish/augment....yeeeeeah Scaler is the 🌊...
Hey have you searched the wolf emoji online yet? pretty interesting...
Cant you load the midi or chord structure from scaler into captain chords and let it talk to melody...WHO TF WANTS A SYNTH MAKING THEIR HIPHOP BASSLINES???
Captain Deep is prolly wild for dance and edm tho...now back to finishin this video...
Yeah Skynet is here man. LOL - I have more recent workflow video that will answer those other questions (The one with Vegeta Cover).
As far as wolf emoji - where should I search it???
Had scalers for a couple weeks , but I like that harmony and bass for captain can they work together with scaler like captain chords works with the 2.
Just Music And lyrics in a strict sense, the captain Plugins only talk to each other. But you can use both to achieve the same thing...by telling them to play the same thing.
So I can take the chords from scaler and drop it into captain
Just Music And lyrics nah you have to input the base chord manually... like if both are minor... I iv v in both
Aight kool, I’ll probably just continue learning scaler..
Just Music And lyrics I'll...just...show it
Nice vid, scaler for the win for me at least lol...
What made you choose?
For one, the whole internet thing is off-putting and two I just like the flow of Scaler and what scaler brings to the table!!! I've had Xfer's Midi plug for a years and scaler is like version of that but on steroids lol... Mos def a great deal @ 60 bucks...
Hey mg can you do a review of captain chords on windows as its just come out as beta
I don't have windows chief 🙏
MG. I am having trouble installing and getting Reason 10 or Ableton 9 to recognize Scaler. I am using Windows 10. Can you, MG or anyone else help me out?
I’m on Mac OS, try their support - very responsive
Does Maschine have a function similar ghost channel feature?
Drizzle I dont think so
Little heads up: the Windows version came out, but only C-Chords and C-Player. They will probably add the rest later. Anyhow, the Internet-Access thing is something i won't support so i am not getting it. I have Scaler, instaChords and EzKeys. Scaler is super usable and EzKeys seems to beat Captian on all levels as it has more scales. The one and only gripe about EzKeys is the tiny UI if you run 1440p and up. Thanks for the video!
No problem!
how does scaler compare to harmony navigator?
hacksaw jim Duggan havent used that one 🙏
never had a use for VSTs in reason till now. this is better than what reason offers for just finding strange new chords to break up the monotony. wonder how alternative tunings would work with these things.
Yeah it lends to new experimentation for sure
Internet required? F that! fired...
🐐🐐
🙏🙏🙏
Look bro it's either Reason Gang or FL Gang!!! Stop hood hopping!!! 😡
What about Beatmaker 3?
MG The Future lol 😂
garage band mobile biiih
Darren The Moose lol 😂
Ableton beats all of those above combined =))) but when you first open it.. it looks shitty... once you get used to it you'll have unlimited productivity ^_^
At least I have both AL and Reason...
Same same
can you review j74 progressive chord progessions for ableton
Sorry bro - i don't have LIVE anymore
Having a connection required to the net is a BAD idea... makes Captain Chord a no go for me. I certainly don't want to be hooked up all the time to "allow" someone to know when/where/ and what I'm doing.
Yeah its ...an interesting choice. But piracy off the hook.
Does work in Ableton to MAC?
Musica Latina yes 🙏 it does work
Gracias moreno! Nice day!
Could you do a ToneSpace chord generator video please
Roc FaReal how much is it?
MG The Future it’s free
Ill have to check it out soon
MG The Future 💯
Captain Chords are going to add more scales.
Makes Sense. In the meantime, not even neccessary
MG The Future they are still taking suggestion for new features over in their forums. There might even be a new plugin called captain arp lol
Soon we will be able to scales our midi keyboard to the scale of our chords and come up with our own rhythm. We can do it now but only using the computer keyboard.
That's Next Level For Real. I'm interested in Captain Hook? I wonder what that means...is it different than melody? etc - Captain ARP would be ridiculous. They might end up short stopping the middle man (FL Piano Roll) for a lot of programs. In fact - yeah, add ARP and Captain STRUM...and its done. You can just use any DAW that has Ghost channels at that point. Gonna be crazy.
MG The Future lol it already replaced my logic piano roll. I just need captain beat to be a great sequencer for drums and I’m good!
This is all too scary when you reflect on it.
