  • In this video Davide Carbone demonstrates the main new features introduced in Scaler 2.9. 'Passages' are a new way of interpreting chords as movements and melodic passages. Davide shows how using passages can turn any chords into beautifully played performances made by Scaler's in-house musicians. Davide also demonstrates the new 'Live Suggest Mode' which is a new way of finding chords that are compatible with your progression on the fly. Plus there's a look at the new Arpeggios, Bass Performances, Left Handed Guitar Display in the Fretboard view and lots of Chord Sets.

    Thanks, Scaler has saved me from needing to watch hours of music theory online.
    Scaler teaches you as you create and removes all confusion.

    As I am sure Davide agrees, Scaler allows you to create and use your heart and soul to originate music without having to worry about theory, voicings, arpeggios, bass lines or anything else for that matter. It changes the landscape of music creation completely for producers, arrangers and composers alike. Thank you for sharing yet another masterpiece video of Scaler Davide with us!

    I found the "passages" feature in the Scaler 2.9 update to be quite impressive. It reminded me of UJAM's virtual piano, where performances gradually progress from soft to intense. Having this feature in Scaler is truly beneficial. Moreover, I am hopeful that this feature can be expanded to include various passages for piano, strings, brass, and other instruments. Thanks Davide.

    Thanks Davide and team, for making a great tool even better. Loving Passages as the provide fantastic building blocks, and they also serve as perfect seed notes to feed back into some of Scaler's perform modes or midi transformation tools. Also really appreciate you guys keeping non-contiguous chord selection (ctrl-click) and Preview Selected Chords active during Live Suggest mode. It is great for trying variations on multiple chords that are off the screen w/out the chords swapping out. Also, was wondering if you are doing any automation of Scaler EQ? I'm loving the control you guys gave us for adding movement dynamic texture. Keep up the great work!

It's a wonderful tool. ❤👍

    excellent! - Hi Davide, It would be great if you could drag chords and melody phrases from the DAW track (Cubase) into Scaler to edit them further in Scaler. You should then be able to drag them back to the DAW track once you have finished editing them. (for Scaler 3) 😍❤
