✨Thank you, Sir, 🙏✨
An absolute MUST HAVE for any songwriter/composer/producer!
An absolute must for any songwriter and producer at any level. Great for triggering inspiration and moving ideas along.
Absolute belter of a tutorial, not even just regarding Scaler 2, but also Ableton, the midi tools, gating, etc, etc. You're damned right I sub'd!
Como actualizamos lo que ya tenemos el escalador 2 a la mas reciente version ?
So I tried the detect function on a soloed instrument loop to test and the detection was entirely off… like it really couldn’t have been more incorrect
Scaler is the greatest
Ah yes, this second video hits the spot! Thanks!
How did your drum kit get labeled in the midi viewer? When I put in a kit it’s just the key names. Anybody know how to do that?
If you create a MIDI clip on a MIDI track which is hosting a drum rack, the notes in that clip's MIDI note editor should automatically inherit the name of each Pad. If a Pad is empty it will just have the note name e.g. C1, but populated pads should automatically result in named/labeled MIDI notes.
i have more questions now than before i watch
I was trying to find out where the midi capture is I rewind it four times because I wasn’t paying attention and still didn’t get it so I just clicked off the video
Just wanted to comment for some clarity for those a bit confused... Scaler Audio is a audio effect plugin that you load on the same track as your loop. You can also pull up another instance of Scaler on its own track, add the loop in the sidechain, and detect the loop that way as well.
This video was super helpfull! Thanks!
The Chord track in Logic Pro only retrieves 4 notes out of the 5 chord notes sent by ScalerCont2... Am I missing something? (i am new in the music world)
No, Logic just needs to make a chord from it. Same chord just voiced differently in that it may remove a repeated note for example.
Amazing video and this plugin is a total gamechanger. Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thank you for supporting Scaler.
excellent! - Hi Davide, It would be great if you could drag chords and melody phrases from the DAW track (Cubase) into Scaler to edit them further in Scaler. You should then be able to drag them back to the DAW track once you have finished editing them. (for Scaler 3) 😍❤
just bought tr-8 watching it at 01:24 such a brief tutorial :)
I cant find passages on mine anywhere
You need to update to Scaler 2.9. It's available at your account at Plugin Boutique.
@@SchoolofSynthesis Yeah I realized that. I did.
WOW. i just purchased S2 & it's a BIG leap from using Captain Chords. It feels more natural IMO. i've been so used to using the interface with CC so i'm still trying to get my head around not being able to use a timeline. but other than that, I love it. it's a great investment! thank you.
Thanks for joining the community. It's a great journey for us all and hope it brings you lots of inspiration. There are some big development coming for Scaler end of year so enjoy the ride and join the community over at forum.scalerplugin.com
the tab key function did not work for me. is that in the default keyboard settings? or is that custom? what key function is tab for you sir?
Just the tab key on your Mac keyboard. Maybe try and ensure Logic is in focus (click on the background somewhere) and make sure you are on the chord track. Follow Davide's video closely should be no problem. Hope that helps.
It would be great if there was an option Scaler would output the actual midi chord notes you're playing and not just one note..I know there's record button that does that but it would be better without that extra step of recording and draging the file into DAW...it would be perfect.:)
Perfect! :)
Getting it now 😈
Amazing update. Passages is what I was missing in the earlier versions. Well done.
Welp, I'm heading straight over to buy Scaler now.
Excellent tutorial! I’d really love to see a Logic Pro for iPad/Scaler 2 tutorial one day, too. 🎉🎉Fingers crossed!
How about this one? ua-cam.com/video/3xUHvhd6Sbs/v-deo.htmlsi=38OcMim2vdwCzVg2 Few others on UA-cam too! Hope that helps.
Any idea when these updates are coming to the IOS version? It has been a while. Why aren’t these updates released at the same time? Not impressed.
2.9 iPad is available at the App Store. Be impressed 😎
I've had Scaler 2 for less than a week and I'm already in love with what you're all doing! Thank you so much
Thank you for supporting Scaler 2! Enjoy the journey it's a lovely one.
David, a quick comment. About a year ago I ran into Joshua Casper and since I associate him with Scaler I mentioned that “Scaler was like the Arturia of plugins”, meaning that like Arturia issuing many firmware updates even for their several years old gear, such as the Beatstep Pro, Scaler seemed to follow a similar pattern, issuing many feature updates without resorting to the ‘major revision/update now’ method of squeezing the consumer. Scaler is an exceptional product and project, offering a lot of folks endless enjoyment.
I can totally accept making music this way; it feels much better than using AI to make music, because at least this method still requires my mouse. Clicking those buttons with the mouse is really important; I must remind myself of this."
Davide has always said that Scaler won't do anything for you. You need to do it yourself!!! ❤️
a big THANK YOU Davide
What would have been really great here - If you brought in a singer - male or female and just jam the heck off that piece .. you know, to get us started :)
Hey Davide, you always bring very valuable features to the table in every new version. Many thanks for that :) When upgrading, do I have to uninstall the old version before installing the latest? OR Does the installer upgrade the version on the fly? Thanks a lot
No need to uninstall - all updates install over the top. Hope that helps.
I might have missed it, but when is Scaler 3 coming out?
Nothing announced officially but we are expecting something big Q4 24!
OMG!!🤯🤯🤯 LOVE IT!!! Thanks again to the Scaler Team!!!
Scaler 2 has to be one of the most powerful music plugins of all time, in one of the most confusing UIs I have ever seen. With Scaler 3 will there be another layout philosophy considered? I’d be curious if this is just me… Regardless I’m going to invest the time in learning it, but intuitive it is not for me.
Davide has mentioned this time and time again - Scaler 2 has been a victim of its own success in that many features have been shoehorned into a GUI intended for much less. The entire UX and UI is being overhauled for a Q4 24 release is our understanding.
Cool
There is a slightly faster way to enter the chords from Scaler into the Chord Track, based on that video (not mine): ua-cam.com/video/mJ7pTR7iKGY/v-deo.html 1. Drag and drop Scaler chords onto an empty instrument track 2. Create an instrument track and set it to Internal Mini In to the track from 1) 3. Click the midi input on the chord track (like in this video) 4. Play your song and press tab to move to the next chord as soon as the Chord track detected the first chord Note, make sure to keep the chord track window open for this to work. :)
Interesting and thanks for sharing but to be fair it's apples and pairs with the method in our video. If you are using Scaler our method doesn't require the creation of a superfluous chord track. Still there are times where your method would work great!
A great way to show the world your talent and your soul. NOT!
After this moment that everybody is musicians 😂😂
Scaler seems to focus too much on the suggested Chords and scales and too many block chords. You can not create music with just block chords. What about musicians who know what chords they are using, what does scaler have for them? For me I am looking for scalers to have trillions of different midi patterns in different genre styles of music. That’s my wishes.
Well it has the ability to modulate using theories like Chromatic Mediant, Neo Riemmanian and Secondary Dominants. You can explore Parallel Harmony extended Chord Voicings, Chord Grouping and Voice Leading. It's also used by many of the worlds top musicians and composers so it does do a little more than block chords?
I am in awe with capabilities, instant purchase
Amazing, what you did with those tools!
Thank you very much!
It is really inspiring! I even ready to buy a plugin ( not steal as usual 😂🤙) Thank You for that information! God bless You! Greetings from Russia!
I absolutely adore Scaler 2. Suggested category: 90’s and grunge.
I hope v3 adds its own piano roll to the scaler. I would also like Ghost Note to be activated for each inserted scaler. You can view your MIDI arrangement easily and objectively. I want it to be a tool to help you decide.
only one chord in each bar?
You can have as many chords as you need just need to resize them!
Without even seeing this first thing i did learning about logic global chords was hop onto scaler to find a chord progression i like
Very nice track good Job.
How do we do use Scaler 2 in Logic Pro for iPad 2? Thanks for all you do.
