I've always found Scaler 2's interface a bit complex and I'm delighted to see that version 3 seems to fix that. really very promising, can't wait to see more
I see in there in Motions, there is now a USER motions selector - you guys listened and made it happen. Super cool and looking forward to seeing you demo that.
This is great update, so much more friendly, intuitive and easier to use!. Everything looks far more natural now, if that makes sense. I've been with scaler since scaler 1 and this upadate will probably make me use scaler a lot more. Looking forward to the release! Awesome work!
AMAZING!!!! Frist, what a great job by the entire Scaler team. I have been a user since the very first release. Every update since has been nothing short of amazing, and this is by far the best one yet!! I always look forward to the updates (even the minor updates) and I absolutely love EVERYTHING you showcased here in the new Scaler 3- from the layout, the new look, the workflow improvements. Please tell everyone involve that your loyal users really do appreciate it!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE OFFICIAL RELEASE!!!!!!!!
This looks brilliant. My only criticism of Scaler 2 was the UI. The feature set was always solid but I only discovered many of the features through the Scaler 2 course because I would never have worked it out for myself because it wasn't very intuitive. It looks like you've knocked it out of the park with Scaler 3. Amazing work from everyone involved.
Looks amazing! I really hope the guitar settings can limit the chords to mimic how a real guitar with 6 strings would sound. I have all of the guitars from Native Instruments and I'm hoping that Scaler 3 with those plugins will be the perfect marriage. So much easier to change the length of a chord + the possibility to no longer limit the amount of chords. I really think this will be a gamechanger for a lot of people.
Finally, you can change the length of the chord visually, instead of using mathematics. That was the only thing a hated about the previous Scalers. so glad that now you can create broken chords intuitively.
I haven't been using Scaler for long but I did find it a bit annoying I was having to calculate ratios to get the right chord length so this is good to hear.
First off, Davide and team, v3 looks very pretty and I am excited and hopeful reading about the (as yet not revealed) functions which MAY address my biggest wishes for v3, time will tell. I’ve only had Scaler 2 for few months, and had initially thought I’d be able to use Scaler2 in the following ways, but I discovered (for me) it had some crucial missing functionality to do the basic task of helping me jam within a scale. I need that as I am not a pianist… so I wanted Scaler to have these (similar) things: 1/ ability to be able to dynamically follow a chord progression on the DAW so that when you are jamming using scaler, it restricts your notes to those within the currently detected DAW track’s chords/scale 2/ ability to be able to set a chord progression in scaler, to jam with that restricting your notes (can do this already) BUT to also be able to choose to record to your midi track only the notes you are jamming, and to not include the chord progression notes you’re jamming to. 3/ to create a chord progression in scaler 3, then assign a midi out for the chord progression, and then SEPARATELY create a midi output for your jamming along… so you can separately record the chord progression on one DAW track and the jammed bit on another DAW track. which would be amazing for grabbing your spontaneous jamming I’ve LOVE to beta test with my Studio One 7 Pro… especially for the possibility my needs will be met by new features such as Scaler 3 being a “proper” instrument, and also “Multi-Lane Timeline” whereby “The Arrange page now includes a timeline-based layout with dedicated lanes for chords, melody, bass, and phrases. Each lane is synchronized with the main chord track, and clips are fully adjustable with independent control per lane or clip.” That may just answer all my feature requests… holding thumbs!!! Mark.
The chord browser and modulation workflow getting redesigned to be vastly more intuitive--in addition to an in-app multi-track sequencer is a godsend. 🔥 I wish Scaler3 was already out
Seems nice ! I only miss a Colored note mode, where for eg, C based chords are Red, D are yellow, E and green etc... instead of all notes blue. I opened a thread 5 years ago on the forum and it was in discussion.
One of the longest standing issues with scaler is how difficult it is to scroll through the scales(the bottom half), i'm really happy to see we can now resize this section but its difficult to see if this can be expanded to the top as you stop half way in the demo.
Wow, really impressed by the sleek new design of Scaler 3! I've been working on some custom chord packs that will be available for sale. I look forward to updating them to the latest version of Scaler 3 when it arrives in March.
I love Scaler 2, can't. wait to see it! So as a guitar player first, I would love to have some updated features for the Guitar Section eg. more Tunings (lower)... etc
I prefer Scaler 2’s layout. In this version, the panels hide more, and the Chord Sets are tucked away in a menu you have to scroll through. In Scaler 2, all the Chord Sets are visible at once, which I find more convenient.
Please, please include a preference for increasing the font contrast in the main window. My vision isn't the best these days, and it's a strain to read low-contrast type. Otherwise, I'm very excited about the new release!
@ Needs to be unlimited in the arrangement window (which we haven’t seen yet) so you can complete an entire composition before transfer to a DAW, or in standalone mode, should you want to
Nice looking interface, David, but could you make it a bit less spacious? The lines in the sections could be slimmer to save precious real estate on the screen. I always find it annoying when a design uses more space than necessary, even more so on mobiles. Great to see so many functions easily accessible. Thanks for the work you put in!
Fantastic. In my head it makes more sense to go from 'Current Scale' to 'Chords' to 'Main Track'. Like, I'd pick the key/scale, then choose the chords from that scale, then add movement to those chords. Wonder if anyone else feels like that order makes more sense? Or maybe I've misunderstood something.
For those who are new to music theory, it can seem quite complex. Personally, I couldn't grasp about 50% of what you shared, Demonstrating sound examples in your upcoming videos could really help us understand the practical applications better. The content you provided in this video didn't click with me and probably with many others as well, thus making that plugin worthless, so letting us hear real examples of the possibilities of this plugin would truly be invaluable.
Is there a feature or is there a way to add a feature that can highlight which notes to play over these chords that should be highlighted for different types of feel, besides the obvious 1 3 5 7?
A question: sometimes I want to program exact guitar chords, so the notes a guitarist would play instead of common piano chords. Would be great if there was a setting to convert midi chords to guitar notes (I mean the right notes in the right octave, and also the main alternatives for each chord further up on the guitar neck.) It's very cumbersome to program this by searching for the guitar chord and then find in which octave each note is in etc. I have never used Scaler, so I don't know if something like this already exists?
Is there a way to type in chords? Say I want to just write in “d maj 7” for instance can it make a chord that exact chord? Additionally can you write multiple ones to make a progression? “C maj , gb maj 7, a min” etc. etc.
Will you all support 4K displays on day one?! My biggest complaint against Scaler 2 was the non-support for 4K displays. Ableton 12 could scale it to 4K but the interface looked atrocious when scaled up. The majority of plugin makers now support 4K displays, ... Please tell me that you all will now natively support 4K displays.
Looks great, esp. the motion browser. Question: Will Scaler 3 allow me to filter scales by root note? It's a big "pain point" In Scaler 2 for me. When I choose a few notes to see what scale fits them, Scaler often produces a very long list of matching scales. I want to be able to filter this list by saying, "ok, I only want to see scales where the root note is Ab". Browsing through a long, unsorted list of scales (with very low text contrast!) is never what I'm looking forward to. And yes, more contrast please, we don't all have perfect eyesight. A brightness setting for text vs background would be perfect.
ok...what i don't like here is a waste of space on the left side of the chords - the chords tiles have little space to browse them - it is very strange - we have now the ability to add more then 8 chords but we still can see only 8 chords - I cant imagine how frustrating it's going to be switching, moving, all the chords now lets say from 10th position to second or just looking at a bigger picture of my progression. Meanwhile we get this long space on the left like "main track' and sound selection. This should be somewhere else or in compact form - I need that whole space for my chords. The same goes for sections A and C - there is just too much space wasted on the left. Also the list of scales/styles in section B and C could easily fit at least one more line there. I don't think we need the verses to be that tall. Also - where have the cords tabs gone? like Pattern 1 Patter 2 that we could divide on verses, bridgme chorus etc?
I've always found Scaler 2's interface a bit complex and I'm delighted to see that version 3 seems to fix that. really very promising, can't wait to see more
Ditto XD This new look reminds me a bit of CodeFN42 plugins which I've always liked a lot.
I like that the interface is more in your face and not hidden features. Looks like a good update.
Absolutely!
Taking away the limit on the number of chords in section C is a game changer!
Scaler is like the "Zyklus - Direct Machine" used by Vangelis of the 21st Century! Thanks guys!
Piano board keys and expressions AT THE BOTTOM is a THANK YOU SO MUCH change. LOVE the midi graphics in Motions!!!!!1
Looks like a huge improvement in terms of intuitive interface. Well done indeed.
Can't wait for this. Scaler is the best compositional tool out by a country mile and now it's going to get even better. Well done Davide and the team.
Please release it as soon as you can on iOS/iPadOS
love the changes! Very excited for the release of this upgrade

Counting the days 😊 cannot wait 🔥
It’s great to see Scaler evolving at pace . Thankfully no mention of AI . I wish the team an avalanche of success with Scaler 3 and beyond.
Looking forward to upgrading from 2 to 3, GUI looks great.
GUI looks much more friendlier to navigate. Nice work !
Looks fantastic. I have Scaler 2 for PC and also iPad, so I’m hoping to get a version 3 of both. Very exciting!
Hey Ed. Just the iPad version for me but this is looking very promising.
Hype hype, this looks really well re-designed.
The chord browser and modulation workflow getting redesigned to be vastly more intuitive--in addition to an in-app multi-track sequencer is a godsend. 🔥 I wish Scaler3 was already out
Unreal, brilliant work David, the anticipation is starting to bite just a little......
I will miss the pulsating flashing highlights from different selections from Scaler 2😪. Just loving that eye candy,🤩 please make it in Scaler 3 also🤗🙏
Looks really good! The new look seems even more intuitive! I'm excited to see the rest and check it out.
Revolutionary, if i may dare say ❤
I really can't wait for this to drop already.
WOW 🎉 I’m sooo looking forward to this release. Nice. Congrats 🎉 🍾
Hi Davide
I can't wait to see whats new in Scaler 3
For me as a hobbyist Scaler 2 has taught me a lot and really helped me sound much better,he,he
It’s made me sound much better too🎉😂
The interface is looking really good. Excited to see the next few videos.
Scaler 2 is already one of my most used plugins. I'm looking forward to the next iteration. 🤘
Davide!!!! You are the MAN in the forums bro!!!
I can't wait to use it!
Really looking forward to Scaler 3 looks amazing!
Super excited about this release, thank you!
Seems nice ! I only miss a Colored note mode, where for eg, C based chords are Red, D are yellow, E and green etc... instead of all notes blue. I opened a thread 5 years ago on the forum and it was in discussion.
Looking good so far - a choice of a color note change would be a nice addition 👍
Ahh mate. The timing changes are worth the upgrade alone. Awesome.
It seems to be very useful and intuitive.
One of the longest standing issues with scaler is how difficult it is to scroll through the scales(the bottom half), i'm really happy to see we can now resize this section but its difficult to see if this can be expanded to the top as you stop half way in the demo.

Hope the limit on the number of chords is lifted so you can actually arrange a whole composition in one session
They mentioned that it was early in the video
@ Needs to be unlimited in the arrangement window (which we haven’t seen yet) so you can complete an entire composition before transfer to a DAW, or in standalone mode, should you want to
So looking forward to Scaler 3!!!
I need it on the go on the iPhone
Scaler 3 looks like it’s moved a bit closer to EZKeys 2 while keeping itself unique as Scaler 3.
Can't wait. 💓 I would install beta version if available.
man, this looks sooo promising!!! excited to find out about the final upgrade price for S2 user!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
looking forward to using it

I don't think I've ever been actually Excited for a plugin before....Maybe in 2017 when Superior Drummer 3 was announced but thats about it.
so far so good
Very nice, can't wait.
Cant wait 💯
🎉🎉🎉 I cant wait!!
Will you be creating a new Scaler 3 Official Course on School of Synthesis? That would be awesome to get right into the deep end with this. Thanks!
Scaler is the best. V3 looks easier to use 👍
Really nice
Yihaaa … can‘t wait 🚀🥳
Cool 😎
Looks great, but it seems that keys lock is still limited to a narrow range of notes. Why not the entire keyboard?
Instant buy.

Great! Will there be an upgraded discount for Scaler 2 owners?
Is there a feature or is there a way to add a feature that can highlight which notes to play over these chords that should be highlighted for different types of feel, besides the obvious 1 3 5 7?
will be updating from 2 to 3
I dont see the audio/midi key detection function ?
Will you all be covering the "explore" page later? That is my main concern with this new version.
Will there be an update pricing for Scaler2 users?
will you be including the Hardstyle genre regarding chords and scales?

In Scaler 2 they have guitar voicing for any chord, so I think it would also be included in Scaler 3
@@IAMSWANKYMUSIC Really? That sounds great. Thanks!
Looking great. Only problem is there’s no way for S2 owners to preorder the upgrade? Every other option but this. Oversight?
Thanks! I must be rhe only one though hoping for _*more* _ AI features
