BEST Scaler tut I've seen to date. Pay this man well.

[@TheWavys]

WOW since the new logic update I've been doing this but typing in the chords by hand... This video came right on time! So many great tips and why did that keyboard part sound so sick lol.

[@GiladAlonMusic]

David, this is just amazing. I thought what will scaler do now, and was waiting for the video. You were quick and you show just how much scaler 2 is an amazing tool/plugin. Thanks!!

[@timhanttula8545]

This is amazing, I’m getting scaler as soon as I get off work today. Great job this is very innovative work

[@Spineloro]

When I saw the chord tool update in LP11 I thought "How will I use properly it with Scaler 2". And Tada ! Here you are !🙏

[@RichardDeighton]

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

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

Thank you for supporting Scaler 2! Enjoy the journey it's a lovely one.

[@buzzsawddog]

Been a busy week so I tinkered around with the new session players a little. This morning I dug into the features this morning and found the chord input quite clumsy... I thought to myself. I wonder if scaler can help work this. Woohoo! Looks like it can!

[@drvoodoo3073]

Amazing! Hopefully in the future we'll be able to just drag any MIDI region into the Chord track and it add the chords in automatically. Till then this is a great and fast way to get chords into the Chord Track :)

[@sau1itud366]

Studio One does this.

[@drvoodoo3073]

@@sau1itud366 I think it’s only a matter of time… I have no problems waiting, no intention to switch DAWs any time soon since Logic offers free updates for LIFE, does Studio One do that?

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

We absolutely agree. I imagine there may be some conversations between the Scaler team and Apple on how to better integrate 3rd party MIDI!

Fantastic. This inspired me to create a short video on how to do something similar using Scaler 2 and Logic Pro 2.0 for iPad, and it works pretty well and is also quite fast at getting chords added. It's great that these apps can work together so well. Thanks!

This will actually get me to purchase Scaler 2

[@danzesociety]

You can do a similar thing on Logic Pro for Ipad by using the ‘Record to midi to track here’.

[@jbognap]

Thanks

[@davidecarbonemusic]

Thanks for working that out, to be honest I haven't had a chance to grab the Pad but will have the team do some experimenting next week. I guess the questions is - is there a substitute for TAB for next chord on the iPad?

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

Yes good video and explanation of how to do that here forum.scalerplugin.com/t/scaler-2-ipad-chords-logic-pro-ipad-chord-track/16411/2

[@El_MA11]

Holy crap. 👏👏👏💚

[@Divedivine]

And Daw Sync??? Am I missing something? Do I have to choose in the setting somewhere so that Scaler follows Logic? When I enable Daw sync Scaler still plays the number of beats selected in Settings/playback???

[@apxumar]

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!

[@ErixSamson]

Great! now we want the same with the Cubase chord track 🙂 (something we have asked long time ago)

[@jbognap]

Can't you just drag a MIDI item up to the chord track?

[@ErixSamson]

@@jbognap That's what we do, but this is level-0 integration, we'd expect something better integrated like what David has demonstrated here (or even better 🙂)

[@Immanuel11.11]

Great inspirational ideas being stimulated here . Where can I get the Ode to Han Zimmer Chord set ? Thanks mate.

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

I think it's just called 'Ode to Hans'! You will find it under 'Genres>Cinematic'

[@Planetjanne]

When I dragged the chords down to the track, it gave me completely different chords than what I played

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

Please ensure you have turned off the BIND button and turned off any PERFORMANCE otherwise you are performing a performance. For more help with Scaler please head over to forum.scalerplugin.com

[@Planetjanne]

@@SchoolofSynthesis The Scaler is on default, both bind and performance is turned off. Can it be something with logic settings where it detects different voicing chords? The chords sound similar but have lower voicing. I've been battling with this for a while now. In Scaler I have the chord Dmin6 11 and Logic detects it's G7

[@ApexErich]

This is awesome. I was wondering, could you drag the chords from Scaler straight onto the chord track OR drag the chords from Scaler onto the track itself and then drag the chords from the track to the chord track? I''m a Studio One user and you can do that with its chord track. If it works in Logic, it would be easier than having to click the chords in the chord track one by one, press tab, click the chord in Scaler etc. Awesome that Logic has a chord track now though. I love that feature.

[@EduardKraft]

I also can’t understand why Apple didn’t do this?

[@aeiplanner]

It would be cool to have similar workflow on iPad pro. I find the session players most useful for throwing some ideas down, which typically happens while traveling/flying. It would be great if you could do a tutorial for the iPad app.

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

Good video and explanation of how to do that here forum.scalerplugin.com/t/scaler-2-ipad-chords-logic-pro-ipad-chord-track/16411/2

[@mable76]

I was waiting for a chord track in Logic that can be controlled by Scaler for so long, but I was hoping it would be a little more intuitive. It could be easily if Logic allowed drag and drop from a MIDI track to the chord track (or from the Scaler plug-in directly :) And if it was also possible to assign instrument tracks and audio tracks to the chord track instead of just copying static chords on top of your existing MIDI pattern. It is already pretty cool, but could be a lot more powerful and I hope it will be with one of the next updates as this is nothing magical. Especially compared to what is already possible now.

[@Bocaca49]

Cool

[@DirkParker]

Thank you for showing this. Is there any shortcut for changing the length of the next chord when writing them into the chord track?

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

Good question, not sure but I think we will see some rapid improvements with the chord track over time

[@jcsfx710]

I purchased Scaler EQ for iPad and last video you mentioned that Scaler 2.9 for iPad would be releasing some times between ending of last month and beginning of this one... nothing yet... Logic Pro 2 on iPad is also available and will they work well together?

[@davidecarbonemusic]

It's close, unfortunately it's a tough job for the development team but it is there and close. Yes works with iPad

[@jerrypayne9332]

Hi Davide. Hope you're doing well. Just curious if there's a tutorial like this for Cubase's chord track? I assume it's most likely very similar. Keep up your great work!

Hi, question…are Scaler 2 and Scaler Control two different products? I use Logic also, and I’d love to invest in Scaler 2, but I need to know if I also need to have Scaler Control?

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

Hi Aaron they are the same product and both come with Scaler 2. Logic Pro just gives you the option to load Scaler 2 as a MIDI FX which is what Scaler 2 Control is!

[@aaronkeithmusic8023]

[@jasonforman3226]

Hi, I've successfully used scaler 2 to detect the chords of a guitar track I worked on. How do I sync that data to a new midi track so I can create midi piano. When I open a midi track and open scaler, it's a new blank scaler screen. I tried to sync and couldn't figure it out. Mainly, this is how I'll want to use scaler. I record guitar parts and need help with the midi parts. THANK YOU!!!

[@FloBorge]

There is a slightly faster way to enter the chords from Scaler into the Chord Track, based on that video (not mine): kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3uaoYeIbM5-fbs 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]

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!

[@dat1beats]

Question: I've been having issues turning session players into midi. Can you do a video showing how to do that with Bass Plater and Spectrasonics Trilian?

[@jbognap]

@Davide - are these techniques available on the iPad platform?

Using Scaler Control in Logic. If I play the chords in, rather than drag chords in will the humanizing feature work even though I only see the single midi notes in logic? Is it considered an audio file when I do that?

[@DjStatusss]

What software do I need to buy to work with scaler two and Ableton to do same thing? Instacomposer 2? Ripchord free. Orb . Caltain chords. Rapid composer 5?

Not finding scaler in my logic plugins?

[@onethousandtwonortheast8848]

[@DjStatusss]

Can you do this again in house edm

[@Turtletunes2]

Scaler did not seem to follow the Halve Chord Rhythm command for me. The chords are displayed in the chord track correctly, spread across 8 bars. In Scaler, I dragged the chords down to Pattern 1, activated DAW sync, hit play and just the first 4 bars played with the original rhythm. Did I miss a step? Thanks!

Is chord scaler a plug-in in Logic 11?

[@BezaleelIsrael]

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?

[@SchoolofSynthesis]

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.

Hi, I have a real problem here because when i want to open scaler at the very beginning when i go to "midi effect", i can see chord trigger, arpeggiator, modulator etc... but i can't go very far to see "audio unit" to find scaler. Do you have an idea please of what's going on? Best from France.

In this instance Logic's Key Signature is not really being used to transpose anything so it's not relevant here and doesn't;t effect anything. You can always right click the chords and Analyse Key Signature

Why is Logics chord track different than cubase, studio one or anything else?

[@GagnonGuy]

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)

[@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.
