One of the things I love about Scalar is that it teaches you music theory without forcing you to stick to conventions. It lets you learn the rules so you can break them and develop your own sound with the tools it offers.

Scaler really is the ladder to a springboard that leads to a jumping off point for new harmonic ideas. A brilliant tool especially for those of us who want to become harmonically richer but whose basic theory is lacking. The videos are really educational and illuminating and although one can use Scaler as a simple tool it is also is a very deep and relatively complex software, so the videos are extremely helpful. Thanks:)

I have chord tracks and pads within Cubase Pro and I had already purchased Xfer Cthulhu, which is an arp/chorder with Debussy chords and where you can load your own to play with one finger and explore cool harmonies. I took Scaler mainly for the modulation part, which let me explore cadences, modulations, progressions, how to get far and expecially how to get back. This tutorial, mainly about the different algorithms that you have for modulation, is really the most peculiar part of your plugin in my point of view. The manual explained that, but this video is really useful and helps us to make it right. Today is 26th and I will upgrade instantly to try the new cadences you put in the menu. Keep up the good job (currently Cubase is not smart with this plugin, if you point to Kontakt you have 2 tracks for each instance, so you loose the wish of putting it everywhere and sync..)

I may have missed it, but is there, or might there be in the future, a way to use modulation between Patterns? I am often working through parts of a song that I and collaborators have come up with to build a longer piece and looking for a better way to link them. It would be great to select the sections in two different patterns and use the modulation. I suppose that the easiest way might be to establish the keys of the two sections, and first chord of Pattern 2 and just set a modulation using Pattern 1 changing to the Key of Pattern 2.
@SchoolofSynthesis2 жыл бұрын
You could always find the secondary dominants of the chords you want to land in within the modulation page. You could also use the Progression preset to choose the scale you want to land in and follow its suggest path. I guess its about feeding that info into scaler and using one of many methods to find you pivot chords which is really what you are trying to do it sounds like.

First, let me say, Scaler is brilliant. I bought it yesterday and am finding much inspiration, despite my lack of knowledge of the Scaler workflow. Second, I find the list of contributing musicians a bit lacking in the genres I compose. Can you get some composers such as Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnolds, Max Richter, Maxence Cyrin and Dustin O'halloran? It seems to be a bit lopsided towards KZbin beatmakers rather than classically trained composers. I mean no disrespect to the contributing artists. I'm sure their contributions are incredibly helpful to beatmakers.
