@Harlem Reginald I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@peyoartigala8099]

ahahahahaha accurate

[@fantaztikbeatz]

Yes indeed

[@k_watts]

I know music theory, but I absolutely love this plugin.

[@issiewizzie]

You finally did it ......The performance mode is a key feature I have been waiting for

[@LexicationESL]

hands down one of the most impressive plugins I have ever seen!!

[@mrnelsonius5631]

I’m getting this, and I already have a good grasp on advanced theory. Why? Because I stink at piano (string instrument player) and spend half my time trying to get my hands to do what I hear and want on a tiny keyboard when I’m arranging in a DAW. This is actually a great tool for beginners to learn theory too, because you can hear what’s happening and see the words for it in real-time.

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

Wow! it's not only about scales or chords or music theory, it also can generate beautiful cinematic ostinato patterns. Impressive!

[@ozzygm3178]

Midi capture is all i wanted all along this is FABULOUS!!! No brainier, buy now

[@CoolTyphoon]

Every beatmaker | music producer should have this plugin! It is the best to assist you with creating your hit music.

[@maroangel8525]

I think, if someone want to be beatmaker or songwriter or producer, he or she should learn harmony and piano or guitar. we should learn it someday... right? it looks saving our time currently, but it'll much waste our time in the end.

[@kaafaa5944]

i had the choice to use option in maschine " chord, scale and generator " but there was one year , i started learn theory jazz ( not my style). the teacher online on youtube make impro melody and chords. each 5 second its can make beautiful song. its faster an deeper than any vst. and there is other option its " the fun " u have when u creat.

[@fischergreen4134]

This has to be a contender for VST of the year. I have been using the update for a week now. Scaler 2 is amazing. For all of the fantastic improvements the thing that has really blown me away is the sound of the felt piano. It’s is now my go to VST piano sound !!

[@soer4964]

Holy Shhhh... Can't remember the last time I was so impressed by a VST. You guys did a awesome job. Upgrade is a MUST!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@gazmellen7881]

this is more then the average upgrade absolutely brilliant, amazing for writing and learning instantly!!!

[@NickChase]

Amazing plug in, I bought it. I Wish that in the search section I can search cords by tags like happy, jazz, uplifting etc. Hope you will read this and consider this one change. Love this plug in, amazing 👏🏻

[@draedogglawson]

60 seconds in this video and I'm sold already. THIS IS AMAZING! They really thought of everything

[@tosatoken4768]

Midi capturing with scaler? Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak...you guys nailed it. :-)

[@andyjardine8192]

Thank you defo be upgrading to 2, it's obvious you've put a lot into this. Just keeps getting better

[@blueeyedboxer20008]

Scaler 1 was a game changer, excited to upgrade!

[@DavidSmith-ne1zp]

My mind has been officially blown! Wow, a creative treasure chest! Purchased immediately after watching this 👍🏻

[@88keyz]

I was like a kid waiting on Christmas when I first saw scaler 2 was dropping this month I couldn't wait for this lol

[@arvinsim]

As someone who just started playing the piano, music theory and want to do some basic songwriting stuff, this plugin is really indispensable!

[@cawaynejervis4901]

I am entirely grateful for Plugin Boutique. They are absolutely the best, hands down. Keep up the awesome work. You are my go to. Nah mean...

[@SMA78070]

Well so much for my weekend...this is fabulous. Thank you for making this!

[@alexandreenkerli9361]

Enjoying your Italian accent… but that might be because I’m a French-speaker. ;-) This overview helped me grasp quite a few things about the update. Especially after reminding myself of what the original version did. It sounds like a whole new product, with some features related to other plugins and some completely new ones. So I did pay for the upgrade (using some of my PB virtual cash). Feeling pretty decent about the company, right now. The effect of keeping expressions/phrases in scale-based mode makes a whole lot more sense after hearing it. In a way, it sounds exactly like the kind of harmonization effect that my Classically-trained music teachers were describing as “cheating” or associated with pop music. Which is precisely what I’d like to use, now. I still enjoy classical approaches to four-part harmony, but this kind of melodic/harmonic development is really satisfying, in a visceral way. Nothing wrong with satisfaction! Playing with modulation is another thing where it can be satisfying beyond my (rusty) knowledge of music theory. Yes, I really understand how the cycle of fifths works, how useful it can be to go to a relative minor, and I even get a sense of why tritone substitutions are so neat in Jazz improvisation. What the tool will allow me to do is quickly explore things without overthinking them. Especially with the expressions and phrases. I know the association may not be as positive for everyone but, using the choir sound especially, my reaction to that modulation segment was “Instant Enya!”. People associate the Queen of ‘80’s-‘90’s overdubs with “New Age” and such. But there’s something in her straightforward harmonies which has always hit a balance in tension and release. Yes, it can feel very soothing. And it’s also ear-opening enough, at times. With expressive plugins, Scaler 2 will likely help me lay down deeper foundations to my musicking than just “cool chord progressions”. I’m not sure I’ll frequently use the scale modes for “solos” and “leads”, but I already know that I’ll be able to at least create rich “backing tracks”.

[@arthurmee]

Yes, me too. The pronunciation is very good. Half Italian.

[@bfjohnmark]

the secret to the operatic orchestra has been revealed.. deliato, leggiero, etc.. :) Now for the next upgrade, guitar riffs, solos.. baselines.. Ethnic Percussion routines..

[@cyorkgo]

This is by far one of the most intuitive tools ever created for a songwriter. Even someone that plays keys can get some great starting points and then just play it themselves to add their own flavor. The audio detection still is not working as it should for me, it is hit and miss. But overall a great plugin.

[@davidecarbonemusic]

Audio Detection will and is improving rapidly, DEVS are on it. I find it very useful when I am writing and need some chord and scale detection. Always pleasantly surprises me. If I throw audio at it for the sake of testing, it can disappoint. Nature of the beast but we are working hard to improve it as we speak.

[@shane864]

I have $40,000 of synthesizers and sound sources that I have been building into a studio my whole life and I feel like this just multiplied everything by a thousand. I literally ran for my wallet. What a n absolutely phenomenal tool... how have I never heard of this before. It's a complete life altering game changer for me as a hardcore synth nerd that isn't quite as educated in theory as I'd like to be. wow

[@zublits]

Thanks for your comment. I'm considering picking this up, but I'm worried that it will make me lazy and make my music "paint by numbers." I'm glad to hear that someone who can actually play enjoys the software.

[@AlexSilva-pb4dw]

@@shane864 so playing chords through a patch is easily detectable?

[@sebastianmerkel8285]

Thy for this incredible awesome vst. Purchased yesturday and aleady boosted a nice idea to another level. Also the extra lessons are worth every single dime!! Ty soo much guys. If you ever come up with version 3, you can count on me 😊

[@sebastianmerkel8285]

As from my perspective since I am an reaper user with linux underneath...... a native linux support would be mindblowing and yet again another level for this plug in compared to the rest of the world....... Keep on rolling guys!!!

[@AhmedShata]

This is an amazing tool to actually understand music theory better! I've learned so much just by watching this video. Thank you! I'll definitely buy it.

[@xxllx86]

I study musicology at university and this is something I would recommend to everybody. Amazing use of technology 🔥💯

[@dedaluz100]

Congratulations on the product, since version 1 it has improved a lot. I would like to suggest some future upgrades: I wish there was the possibility of importing midi files for melodies and rhythmic patterns, this would make it really perfect. In addition I would like the possibility to change on the fly the octave of reproduction of the notes on the menu on the left in the section of songs at the top (now requires more steps). Thanks a lot, I'm very happy with this upgrade

[@jacquibrookes8257]

😍😍 very generous upgrade. Incredible..thankyou!

[@dezinerAhmad]

Love you for the update... Thanks You should also update it with Bass Line Genarator as given in PRISM CHORD and scale based melody generator as in INSTA CHORD

[@SimpleSouls]

The performance mode is a very nice addition, however pretty much all the performances you can choose are very "classical" sounding. Would be cool to add some jazzy/funky ones too.

[@noetyk2001]

haha 🤭

[@oibruv3889]

Not to be facetious but I've used this software and the best you will get is vaguely generic. It doesn't have the same identity as pieces such as lacrimosa. For obvious reasons

[@lennywatchesstuff]

@@oibruv3889 you miss the entire point. It's not strictly used to click one note for the chords (you can as a starter). For me, I scribbles a while before finding something I like and scaler definitely helps a lot. And I'm pretty sure you can map out Lacrimosa with Scaler 2.

[@oibruv3889]

@@lennywatchesstuff you can recreate it obviously yes. You can recreate lacrimosa on notepad

[@Sesaon3]

Scaler 1 made composing a bit more enjoyable. Scaler 2 now makes it not only a LOT more enjoyable but sped up the journey to get to my destination. If there is one request as a Cubase user it would be to liaise with Steinberg and allow dragging onto their Chord Track keeping the Scaler 2 voicings. I have a sort of work around > drag to a MIDI track then create chord symbols from MIDI but the voicings are different when they appear on the Chord Track - not the end of the world but .... Thanks for this superb upgrade!

I am blown away by Scaler. Its great, it's cheating, but yeah it's great!

[@Sesaon3]

Why is it cheating when there is only one rule in music - if it sounds good it is good? How you get to good doesn't bother the listener. But getting to good quicker sure makes composing music more enjoyable :-)

[@GoDxism]

@@Sesaon3 It definitely does make it more enjoyable and you are right. But I find that it's not as fulfilling.

[@oibruv3889]

@@Sesaon3 because when music is written systematically it ends up lacking any soul.

[@Sesaon3]

@@oibruv3889 Scaler 2 is a tool like many others in my compositional workflow. Doesn't mean my music lacks soul. I've had several listeners say they shed a tear or two and those peices started their life in Scaler 2. Just saying.

[@oibruv3889]

@@Sesaon3 fair enough. I've written with it before, and had two gripes. One, I just preferred my other stuff. I'm a classically trained musician, so composition isn't something I really need help with. The other thing is that when I listen to it I have a nagging feeling that it wasn't me that wrote it, but the person who programmed the tool.

Hi, is there a way to alter a specific scale? I have troubles finding the Romanian major/lydian dominant b2 or b9. I found something very close but not exactly - (C Dorian b2 but I need an F# in it). I would also hope to play around with more exotic scales and they are thousands...so, having the ability to alter a key would be very useful. Please let me know if this is possible.

[@isaac.anthony]

I thought the first Scaler was a game changer. But these new features are just _unreal_

[@dannylynch3290]

For anyone on the fence. Buy it now. This plugin has changed the way i approach any composition for the better. To the developers. Is there a quick way to find chord IV of IV or V of V. I would love to see this as an option. Also I love the daw sync feature I will have scaler play my chords while I use my DAW piano roll to write the melody, hit space bar and let magic unfold but If i would like to play two chords playing 2 beats each in the last bar while the others have played 4beats.. is there anyway i can tell scaler I want a different duration of chords?? Thanks for all the hard work on such a wonderful plug in

[@onzkicg]

Interesting, I like the audio drop.. but can it detect mixed tracks like piano intro with some drum or bass backgrounds but I still just want to pickout the piano part?

[@aekmr]

Wowwww they lesion to us by added detect audio very nice i will upgrade it

[@AVCM]

Wow. Huge update.

[@dreadleg]

Absolutely Brilliant

[@Jazz350]

Sure is a Piece of a Plugin, l am a Guitarist that can read music treble and bass clefs, l have a very good under standing of music theory l am learning piano at the moment just so i can know my around a set of keys for composing and or making tracks. Scaler is incredible, i recorded some heavy distorted guitar sounds other day just to figure levels in cubase anyway l used scaler to analyse the sounds and it came up with chords in the diatonic key and i then did a progression out of it and its probably the 2nd time i've opened up the program. The ideas you can get out of it is amazing, theres definitely a huge shift in creating music even with minimal knowledge and whats available in the modern world, regards to technology this is where technology really comes in handy and also it isn't lending a hand in regression of music its self.

[@hamed2011]

can we mute melody section for midi keyboard? i want play melody with another plugin like guitar or any other vst instrument

[@88keyz]

Dropping your own samples to use inside scaler 2 would be very cool the new instruments they ok also

[@PluginBoutiqueOfficial]

You can do this already. You can't bring your samples into Scaler 2, but you can control any Sampler VST via Scaler 2. - JC

I am using trial -are there known bugs with the performance mode? I'm encountering cases where I am getting notes holding and have to kill the audio to stop it. I am using Reaper on Win10 machine. Seems to mostly be in cases where I'm not using a packaged instrument but outputting to another VST. This program is so robust, the trial period should be 45 - 60 days, in my opinion.

[@Adarkjet]

Absolutely fantastic. Best plugin ever for music composition. At the very end you do something with chord modulations - could you do it in greater detail. Specifically could you do a video that shows how to create a contrasting verse and chorus? Thanks so much. And with the next update could you do something specifically for realist guitar chord strumming? I have so many guitar plugins but none really do realistic strumming. I would pay dearly for something so useful.
