This beast is just saved my life. I was sturggling with coming up with chord progressions and melodies I even considered to sell all my equipment because thinking myself maybe if I don't have a talent for this. But this is a game changer for me. Thank you so much for making this and giving it with a very reasonable price.
Thank you so much for using it. Scaler never ceases to inspire me. We are working very hard to make it more accessible and easier to use whilst building its rasion d'être!
Thank you scaler team for making the hidden obscured world of musical ideas accessible! Please add the ability to create modulate our own performances.. or the ability for users to share each other’s. API to extract midi events to a lumi keyword would be amazing .. integrations with advanced controllers like roli.. would be next level
I have been binge watching your Scaler videos and learned something new every single time. Thank you Davide, I start to understand what I can really do with my purchase.
You are most welcome and thank you for supporting. New video out to support 2.5 due for release in November with some lovely features great for those starting out with scaler
This is amazing honestly. Dream come true for non players. In my opinion it's not cheating. You've still got to have an ear for what works and to arrange. Excellent work.
well of course it's not cheating. I think one should generally take a step back from the thought that anything is truly original. I mean we all use the same 12 notes in western music to create something... how original can your stuff truly be using the same 12 notes since hundreds of years. the same is true with things like presets of instruments. even the default preset is a preset in the end, it's just a pretty basic, barebone thing that someone decided to be the startingpoint. the same is true with things like this. someone who doesn't understand theoretically how notes, scales, intervalls, chords and so on work should still be able to express what he/she wants to express and even if you took the time to learn all of the said things... why not have a tool that is able to make your workflow more productive or spark inspiration in you. We as artists really need to get that stick out of our asses thinking that we are so freakin unique and therefore better than others just because we use the most barebone setup possible... in the end it doesn't mean anything and no one who is touched by your creation will ever ask if you used alot of tools to help you or if you literally just banged two sticks together... the important part is the art.. not how the art was made
I think this is definitely worth closer to 100-120$ instead of the 50$ it’s going for right now. Makes trying out different combinations fast and efficient I love it!
Very clear and informative walk through. Scaler 2 is a game changer, what a brilliant way to push your own musical boundaries and learn in depth musical theory along the way.
This is what I been waiting for, seeing how all these features work, I already feel like I know how to play the piano. Thank you for creating a tool especially for those who cannot play.
Just bought this. I'm fairly decent with coming up with chord progressions as I can play from ear fairly well but this is really gonna help to consolidate my Knowledge
i remember buying music programs in the 80's and maybe even 90's. Every manual had a GET STARTED section, where they would show you pretty much all the workings, but as you say, a WORKFLOW. you don/t get that now. The manual just explains what each button does.. but not how to USE it. Then you have to waste time googling trying to find a proper workflow tutorial. I wish they made manuals like in the old days lol.
I have heard from the forum that Scale is in development for iOS. We all know how efficient Scaler is to come up with tracks & compositions in a studio setup. But I would like to use Scaler in iPAD for mostly live situations as accompaniment for the main singer. In order to perform live “Key Lock with Chord Extension” is a must-to-have feature. My humble request to you is to bring that feature into iOS so that live chord-melody players are benefitted.
Ridiculos value for money. Infinite posibilities at the tips of your hands. As a guitar player is greatly influencing how do I approach my progressions now on a piano
pretty good video, you have a talent to teach as well, making things easy to understand, and replicate. sidenote: i would either lower your hats, or maybe EQ them a little, to make more room for your melodic instruments.
The only thing in development that is this HUGE, is *UNIFY* by Pluginguru. His vision for MIDI BOX, and how it can enable you to take a MIDI file, and use that in your playing in amazing new ways. When it comes out people are going to have a field day digging around for MIDI files to try this with. You have to watch the full video, but here's a starting point to see MIDI Box: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N3mBrx9OaLE.html This is shaping up to be an AWESOME MONTH, with Scaler 2 and Unify / Cloud City coming our way!
Great video.... When is it coming out? love Scaler from it first came out. Saw MGTHEFUTURE use it and I was sold.. This is a major update...looking forward to it.
Thank´s for a very good tutorial. What I don´t under stand is why you do the midi capture after you recorded the progression from Scaler. Why not just copy that midi to the track where you had the piano plug-in?
You can do that but Midi Capture captures everything you do in Scaler including any melodic notes you play or any switching between performances you may do! Dragon drags the chords with any performances baked in.
This is amazing! Are the single MIDI notes of each chord being recorded with the same velocity? It seems as if there is no dynamic variety happen as it does, when you actually play the chord on a piano. I mean that some notes are heavier then others and create their own melodic focus. Then I would prefer just to tweak some chord progression ideas with the help of scaler and then to play the actual chords on the piano myself for the sake of musical expression.
You can make velocity edits but you can also turn on the humanize and apply to velocity, timing or both - that's a global setting and will make playing much more natural!
It would be nice if scaler could play the chords for the left hand while you’re using key lock for the right hand for us hunt and peck keyboard players. Lol. I know i don’t have the keyboard dexterity to even do something as simple as using the left for one button chords and play a melody with the right. Its a great feature though as is. I would have never understood how to use these features without the explanations. Thanks.
@@SchoolofSynthesis ah, of course. Simple enough. Started a new track yesterday with a bunch of instances. Its just loops at the moment but I was able to find most of the functions and get out variations of chords,melody and bass line quickly. Thanks again for these great tutorials.
No difference, Logic Pro X has an native MIDI FX utility which allows for instant routing to a third party VST as opposed to having to set it up in other DAWs (which is easy enough)
Great program and tutorial! I noticed you used keys on your keyboard to control which section is bound to your keyboard. I tried to midimap in Ableton but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
great tutorial BUT.... Could you please do some zoom ins on the actual functions... so we can see where the items you are selecting are... I am having to wind back 3-4 times to see what you are hitting, and where it is in the interface...
Of course, works with any keyboard. Obviously same key range limitation in terms of notes you can play but in a way scaler makes it easier by binding entire chords to one finger
Please i really need your help me......am finding it hard to verify scaler 2 on my daw fl studio 20...it brings up this {api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer} whenever i try verifying it please what can i do to fix it
is the Scaler 2 AU plugin only available for logic ? VST3 works for routing instruments in Ableton but Scaler 2 AU control doesnt show up in the list of plugins.
Scaler 2 Control is a MIDI FX for use in Logic, you can load it in the MIDI FX slot and then load any instrument in the regular instrument slot or you can load Scaler 2 AU as an instrument in the instrument slot.
Can’t figure out how to extend the arpeggio to additional octaves I’ve been using the DAW midi editor thus far but I assume there is a way to play through 3-4 octaves in scaler 2
