📝 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Scaler 2 recently dropped with some fantastic new features and additions and while it is predominately used to create chord progressions based on scales and keys, with this new version we also got some new features that make music creation really easy.
So then today I want to show you how you can use some of these new features to easily create trap melodies and hopefully get you to create more.

You have an outstanding gift for explaining new things and their relationships. The clarity of your language and the wording are also professional. In any case, you count me for the category of KZbinrs who can produce professional tutorials. A big compliment to you. Greetings from 🇩🇪

[@ImIvanCalderon]

Thank you for your kind words Michael!

This is a fantastic video and I would love to share it with the wider community Ivan. Really drills home what we tried to achieve with Scaler 2 and it’s phrase and melodic based features.

[@ImIvanCalderon]

Thanks Davide! Scaler has been a staple in my workflow for a while now and version 2 only cemented it’s place even more. Thank you for all of the hard work you guys put in!

You are still the guy who teach scaler the best from all the videos i have seen and you even beat the creators of scaler that really don't have the teaching skill at all! You are crystal clear and you go to the point so thank again for sharing your knowledge with us!

Man...another awesome vid! Scaler was already fire but this version 2 is almost a DAW within itself. Glad you showed us how to simplify such a complex vst and it just came out! Thx man

[@ImIvanCalderon]

Glad to help! And yea man Scaler 2 is a beast!

Awesome

[@jimrogers7425]

Whether trap melodies, or any other form of melody, this feature is the bomb! You did an excellent job of explaining this feature, so thank you very much for doing so. To have David Carbone jump in to praise your video is even cooler! Best to you... thanks again for this great tutorial video, Ivan!!

really helpful, thanks

[@GhostSamaritan]

Can you automate changes in expressions? So that I have one expression during the chorus and another expression during the verse. Or do I have to open two instances of the plugin?

[@majortunesmusic9622]

Could you do a video on how scaler 2 works with Maschine. Your delivery is the most clear and direct. And there isn’t a decent video on KZbin currently on this topic. Would be much appreciated 💯🙏🏼

[@DarioSantana_]

echt stoer dit

[@rahim4411]

I bought Scaler 1, then upgraded to S2, for some reason S2 is not loading in my Win 10., I contacted Plugin B, and see what they say. I can't wait to use the features. I already know how to make chords and melodies but this for me is quick and easy.

What vst did u use for the melodie?

It does!

hi . Logic Pro and scaler 2 demo there is a sync problem . my song duration is 5 min how can i put the chords. with the. sync. after 8 bars pattern 1 scaler will not move .to pattern 2 so how can i continue the full song pls tell me

[@su4691]

What Plug in are you using to smooth out your mix/audio, ? Anything like a Tape /saturation ?Cause it sounds smooth, not harsh ?

[@ImIvanCalderon]

Aside from a few plugins to sculpt a few sounds this beat isn't actually mixed yet. Honestly a lot of the time it just comes down to sound selection. There is some saturation on my 808 just to make it pop more but nothing that was put there on purpose to smooth out the audio.

[@su4691]

@@ImIvanCalderon Got you..thanks

[@psyzmech9044]

You sold it to me, just wish Scaler 2 worked within Reason, might have to change to studio one DAW.

[@ImIvanCalderon]

Do it, you won't regret it!

[@Rox0rCreativeHelp]

is it possible to just play random notes on your keyboard and still play in key with that plugin ?

[@AC-kv9qs]

Yes sirrr... purchased it and its well worth the investment tbh 🔥

[@ImIvanCalderon]

Like Andy said it is absolutely possible. My favorite mode is setting it to only the white keys. That makes playing in key super easy.

[@fantaztikbeatz]

This video was better than the people that designed the Vst

[@ImIvanCalderon]

Thanks Max!

[@ackkampus1837]

scaler 2 dont work 3rd party plugins in studio one ? help me.. :S i need connect 2 plugin ...

[@ImIvanCalderon]

For it to work in Studio One you need to either have the Professional version or have the VST Add on for the Artist version!

[@derrickchapman7283]

How do you drag the melody into studio one

[@ImIvanCalderon]

I recorded it straight into Studio One!

[@nolidcreations]

Btw, I was briefly looking over scaler and I am 💯 sure I saw your name under the artist section 😉🤷🏾‍♀️

[@ImIvanCalderon]

That's me! I worked with PIB to include some of my personal chord progressions in Scaler 2!

[@alisiabagris3784]

Even Scaler is not needed to make such a melody

[@Dumiso]

Can these expressions be customised? I fear melodies will start to sound the same and beatmakers will start to fight lol

[@ImIvanCalderon]

Not within Scaler itself but once you drag out or play the MIDI on your DAW you can change it as much as you like!

[@Dumiso]

@@ImIvanCalderon Cool. Will check out your other videos for more info about this thing

[@davidecarbonemusic]

We will be introducing ways to customise. Stay tuned!

"I'll be linking Scaler 2 in the description for your convenience" *DOESN'T MENTION IT BEING AN AFFILIATE LINK* Disclosure is how you know who to trust and who not to trust. Keep that in mind, new producers.

[@ImIvanCalderon]

There’s always been a disclosure at the bottom of my video descriptions but I can see how that might be missed. I’ll make some changes to make it more apparent. Thanks for the feedback.

[@luckycatbeats9607]

The expressions are cool but i think the long term I don't think it helps use Scaler as a tool but the user become dependent on it without really learning music theory. Second is that there might be no originality in the song. That last tip was good though being able to play different keys and the keys switching super helpful. Thank man

[@CariagaXIII]

if we have auto tune. this would be auto music theory

[@BazzTriton]

A lot of talk and very few examples

[@ImIvanCalderon]

I gave you two strong examples within the first 2 minutes of the video as well as a detailed explanation on how to use the VST so you can do to it yourself 🤔......I appreciate you watching tho.
