Description : Reimagined and Enhanced
Completely redesigned, Scaler 3 takes everything that made Scaler 2 the world’s most beloved music theory plugin
and evolves it in ways you never imagined. Scaler 3 will make it easier to take new directions,
solve musical puzzles, and improve your work on the fly in entirely new ways.
Possibilities
• Access over 1,000 chord sets, keys and modes categorized by mood, artist and genre.
Scaler 3’s expanded library is now easier to navigate and offers endless possibilities, including sets by legendary artists
like Carl Cox, MJ Cole and The Temper Trap, across genres from chill and drum ‘n’ bass to jazz, cinematic, pop and metal.
• Create intelligent chord progressions with the sequencer, as Scaler 3 suggests chords based on your current selection
and automatically switches them with your voice for smoother sequencing.
• Play your favorite instruments and effects directly in Scaler 3 using VST/AU plugins, expanding your creative possibilities.
• With powerful MIDI and audio recognition, Scaler can detect what key and scale you’re in and suggest chords
to match your music.
• The Arrange page now features a timeline with dedicated tracks for chords, melody, bass and phrases. Each track
syncs to the main chord track, and clips are fully customizable with independent controls for each track or clip.
• Work in standalone mode without a DAW, ideal for desktop use when you want to focus
on music theory, composition or experimentation.
• Scaler 3’s extensive library of motions, handcrafted by real musicians, transforms chords into melodies, arpeggios, bass lines and phrases
while preserving the original dynamics and nuances. Tweak them with the piano roll editor and innovative modifiers for transposition, density and range,
opening up endless creative possibilities.
• Sync the chords of the main track across all Scaler 3 instances with Live Sync. Change one chord in the “leader” and all “follow” instances
will respond to it, ensuring consistent performance and simplifying workflow with DAWs that don’t support multi-channel MIDI output,
like Ableton.
• New in Scaler 3, the bass tracking feature automatically repeats the root note of your chord track, creating a dynamic bass line.
Use the inversion modifier to separate voices into different instruments.
• Explore new harmonic possibilities with Circle of Quifths, finding great chord substitutions and extensions
to create unique chord progressions or expand existing ones.
• Modulation hints help you switch between the current key and your destination. Created by professional musicians,
these suggestions help you solve your modulation problems in five ways: progression, secondary scale, modality change,
mediant, and neo-Riemannian.
• Experiment with voice grouping and extended voicing to keep your chords within a specific range,
or apply lowered voicing, guitar voicing, and more, instantly transforming diatonic chords
into richer harmonic results.
• 50 built-in sounds (including piano, synth, and orchestral instruments) let you play your progressions,
or you can load VST/AU plugins to expand your sound further.
• The Scaler’s Keyboard Snap feature lets you control chord playback directly from your MIDI keyboard, creating chords,
arpeggios, and melodies with one finger that snap to your chords, making composition fast and intuitive.
• The Browse page lets you discover a harmonic universe of chords not tied to any scale. Click on a chord
to see compatible or adventurous options, stylized as darker or brighter versions.
• Discover new chord expressions—substitutions, inversions, variations, voicings, extensions, and parallel/negative harmony—
on the Colors page, expanding your harmonic vocabulary.
• Compare up to seven progressions in the Sketch Pad, experimenting with different chord movements and variations to find the perfect
progression for your track.
• User Track lets you record MIDI notes in traditional piano style, while simultaneously displaying chords and scales – visual aids
to help you stay harmonically correct or explore new harmonic possibilities.
• Scaler syncs to your DAW’s position, tempo, and timing, maintaining sync as you record.
Use the internal loop function to loop at a slower tempo, or turn off DAW sync and work independently
by recording trigger notes, as in
