    • @SchoolofSynthesis
      @SchoolofSynthesis 9 днів тому

      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.

    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.

    • @SchoolofSynthesis

      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.

    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 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.:)

    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.

    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.

    • @SchoolofSynthesis
      @SchoolofSynthesis 27 днів тому

      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.

    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. :)

    • @SchoolofSynthesis
      @SchoolofSynthesis 27 днів тому

      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!

    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.

    • @SchoolofSynthesis
      @SchoolofSynthesis Місяць тому

      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?
