Scaler 2.5 - New Suggest Feature is MIND BLOWING!!

[@BaileyJim11]

The fact that you guys have assembled all the music theory in the world and given it to us at such a reasonable cost re-affirms my faith in humanity. :)

[@christiaantinga]

In other words: please compose your music yourself instead of a computer :P

[@George-nx8zu]

Best thing Plugin Boutique ever made

[@bassManDavis1953]

Just completely mind blowing! Have upgraded to new version! Let the song writing begin all thanks to Scaler, so much fun

[@CFox.7]

This vid has sold me - now I just have to remember to come back and watch it again after I buy Scaler !

[@forsale313]

"Yesss Sirrr" Glad I got this. Thanks for the video, I would have never thought to use that button. So much to learn with this Plugin. Whew

[@earlbrackett6508]

greatest plugin ever...I've never gotten more value for money than with Scaler, totally expands your reach...musically speakin'. a Steely Dan/Stevie Wonder progression generator.

[@thewest6128]

Love this plugin!

[@LightWingStudios]

Unbelievable! I can't imagine what they're working on for 3.0. :)

[@colorinspaceambientmusic]

v3 lets you just go for a cup of tea and then scaler does everything else.

[@itsjohnnymillion]

I've struggled to use this plug in to its full capacity and this tutorial is helping me a ton. Thanks!

Glad to hear it helped. Here is a long playlist of all my other Scaler 2 tutorials which will help too :) - JC - kzbin.info/aero/PLbzXXSO8ZQ8UfP9uNUOizS-J_EyvA57RY

[@mpd8633]

Sometime ago I even had the thought to write to request Plugin Boutique to incorporate this very feature into Scaler. I hadn't been downloading my Scaler 2 updates and had no idea they'd already done so! Thank God and thank you guys!

Really awesome for learning harmonies!

Hey there, just search for Ableton Live Skins "logic" and you should find it or similar. - JC

[@felixsmittick9128]

Great dive into this awesome took

[@erviolinista6681]

Program seems interesting and can be very useful also to professionals. It gives endless combinations but these should be chosen with a taste! The problem is that nowadays people don’t want to study anything and search for fast solutions. The progression you choose is “unique” sure but doesn’t have a real sense in tonal music. Fact it might sounds cool to others is because they lack too the study of harmony so we got today “producers” who have very dull knowledge in harmony who sell products to others who have even less knowledge of harmony... welcome to the 21st century!

Suggest is the bomb!!

[@bivens3ify]

The lesson is only good as the teacher and this lesson was awesome. It make a lot of sense.

[@VenxmMusic]

Amazing plugin but suggest took it to a whole next level!

[@VenxmMusic]

I Have an Idea for scaler, which will take it to another level if implemented correctly... its along the lines of the Suggest function but its a little more specific, for those who know the direction they want to head but just can't get the right sounding chord... "Sounds Like" so you can play a chord that has a similar sound, (the best you can do, maybe based on the leading tone) then scaler can suggest other chords with that same or similar leading tone!

[@lespieces]

Bought Scaler like 2 years ago because EVERYONE made it seem like a no brainer, but I barely used it because every time I wanted to spice chord progressions, or looking for a specific mood, it was a painful trial and error session. That feature ressuscitates the plugin for me :)

[@RenevolutionAccount]

brilliant. Many thanks for this very important video !

[@mikemccormick1624]

@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial I have found many of the Scaler vidoes to be slow-moving (umm... well, like, umm, if you click here. Oh wait a moment, I mean click HERE, umm, ah...and then, umm...) and assuming that the person watching already knows what the different colors mean and some of the terminology used. Scaler is unique in it's approach and layout and it has taken me some time to get efficient using it. So, your nicely paced, accurate, and to-the-point, video really helped me understand it at a different level. I have bookmarked your scaler page for all my future references! Thanks!

[@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr]

Does the suggest chord thing work taking into account a melody that I have written beforehand and want to make chords for?

[@ettiennelane9173]

Does it have humanization to vary the velocity as well as timing of performance patterns slightly? Do the included sounds have round robins and legato? Can you play your own performance patterns to be used in Scaler?

[@radiosmith8207]

🚀🚀💯🏁

[@korav1]

Please some help needed. I cannot grab and move chords to pattern. Did I switched off something accidentally?

[@Jamieamusic]

Bit unrelated but I love that ableton skin! Where can I find it guys? Cheers!

[@OhItsNoctu]

I‘ll just the thing and say the reason why you‘d never come up with the chord progression shown in the video is because it sounds bad. I don’t have the music theory to back it up and scaler clearly follows a more scientific approach than my ears but I’ll bet right here that there hasn’t been a song with those chords ever and there’s a good reason for it. Im referring mainly at the chords 4-8, the first 3 chords sound amazing.

[@abulka]

Agreed, the Emperor has no clothes - those chord progressions sound bad.

[@davi29uk]

Scaler is the healthier option, indeed! - JC

[@cathywilson1273]

I have a stupid question. Why are there 3 rows of chord displays?

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

Each row has a different objective/function. You might check out all of our videos about Scaler 2 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKGxhWOoftSfo6s

@@PluginBoutiqueOfficial like Bridging to the chorus, or break. and can the DEV team add sound matching?

@@GRACFUL1 You should check out the modulation pages for how to switch keys. I have done a few tutorials on that, which you can find in this playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLbzXXSO8ZQ8UfP9uNUOizS-J_EyvA57RY - JC

[@iknoweverythinginthisworld]

gray and black chords somehow look dubious in the resulting progression and there is no limiter to fix this automatically and easily (you can do it with your hands, but it’s not the same), I have to type what I need in some unusual scale and then choose minor or major and equalizing everything so that everything is blue is tedious. and yes, the results obtained in the video are bad. The plugin is undoubtedly irreplaceably good, but the manipulation of templates is not very good.

[@theopacalypse]

may i know the name of the ableton skin

[@boimesa8190]

Can Scaler also detect incoming midi notes and suggest chords based on that?

[@bigboss-qv7pe]

yes

[@boimesa8190]

[@bigboss-qv7pe]

@@boimesa8190 route midi into it, I figured it out on my own in fl studio. You can assign input and output ports for your midi in any daw. Also in newer version of scaler you can use it as an effect insert which allows you to detect audio as well.

[@boimesa8190]

@@bigboss-qv7pe so just routing midi into the plugin will already make it start suggesting chords?

[@bigboss-qv7pe]

@@boimesa8190 Yes but you could also just use scaler as a vst and make midi with it. I usually route my fav synth and mute scaler to tweak the insides of scaler while getting to hear the sound I'll use anyway.

[@michaelrasmussen8590]

Does this make sense to own if you already have Captin Plugins?

[@chewkas]

Scaler is way better!!! I have both and I‘m not using captain plugins anymore… 🤗

[@MrClarkio]

I have both as well. To me scalar is a bit more free form than captain plug ins. I think they’re both cool but find myself using scalar more for starter ideas

[@TehAwesomer]

Captain Plugins are online-only and cost $99, and will presumably stop working if Mixed in Key ever turns off the servers. I got Scaler2 on sale for $44, and that's not even the cheapest it has gone on sale for, and it can be used from an offline machine forever.

[@ProducedByCyrus]

How do I update my scalar 2 to 2.5?

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

Login to your Plugin Boutique account, find Scaler 2 in the account, make sure 2.5 and your operating system is selected. Download and install. If you are still facing issues, please contact [e-mail] - JC

Vote [like this comment] for a chord suggestion community [growing data exchange / cloud] inside scaler - with auto-generated "syles"/entitys (and/or predefined styles) to choose the set of suggestion - AI learning from users [like amazon suggestions]... ability to sort by trend out of a time-span and so on... #ChordSuggestionCloud #csc ["machine learning" is the term, I was missing...]

[@philipford6183]

This plugin seems utterly pointless. I have never 'clicked' with it. Literally everything it does can be done by just messing about with chords in your DAW. I have not seen a single YT review of Scaler 2 that has convinced me otherwise. What does Scaler 2 actually do? As someone who has been a Scaler 2 user snce v.1, I honestly don't know.

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

Hello. I highly suggest you watch all of my videos on the different ways to use Scaler 2. If you are looking for more advanced features, check out my tutorials on the modulation options. kzbin.info/aero/PLbzXXSO8ZQ8UfP9uNUOizS-J_EyvA57RY - JC

[@pRoblemTv]

I know certified industry producers who use this religiously.. You gotta use it right. Unless you’re a genius musician already

[@bigboxerable]

I have to say I agree. I bought it but didn’t get on with it. I think the problem is it doesn’t constrain your choices enough. As shown in the video, it presents so many possible choices that it really isn’t very much different from trying chords on your keyboard yourself and seeing what you like. To be honest, the progressions in this video just sounded like random chords strung together. It’s all very nicely done, but It needed to be more constrained, limiting choices much more, and maybe using successful chord progressions from popular songs.

[@violator_alba]

As someone who can barely manage to form chords in C on a keyboard, Scaler allows me to hear and experiment with chord combinations that I could never play without much practice and study. I guess I could play around with the progression editor thingy in Waveform (I assume other DAWs have similar tools) but it's not nearly as user friendly as Scaler. And it can play those progressions in so many different ways.

[@BlackAera]

Not all of us are musical geniuses or classically trained musicians. Scaler makes music theory accessible to newcomers and hobbyists.

[@ezrabrownstein3237]

This guy knows so little about music theory it's kind of weird for him to be presenting this. He called Lyd #2 "lydian number 2" like my guy 🤣

[@Veridi]

I don't understand this plugin. From what I can tell, it's just trying to do things that a human can do or get people that didn't bother to learn music theory for free on the internet to pay money.
