- 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.

These updates have made scaler one of the best purchases I made for my musical journey
100% Agree.
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!
Davide agrees! Thanks for the kind words and support. I adore Scaler. It has helped me remain passionate about writing music and it is dearly touching that many other people feel the same way. 🙏
Other than a DAW, Scaler 2 is the single best practical music-making software I've yet purchased.
Scaler is coming along fantastically and to end it's journey on 3.0 would be perfect.
why end it there?
Amazing update. Passages is what I was missing in the earlier versions. Well done.
Of all the plugins I've bought in recent years, this one is right at the top. I look forward to updating!
Shoutouts to everyone who worked on Scaler you all have done amazing.
Thank you for your commitment to the Scaler Project guys :)
Tuned in to check out the new features (love the passages), but wow that vocal library!
It's lovely isn't it? Davide does a good job of showing how Scaler can really help integrate these powerful libraries into our tracks,
I don't regret buying Scaler. Great plugin and another interesting update. Thank you!
I was very impressed by Davide's presentations of Scaler 2 and immediately purchased it. Still, that was only the surface and the software was 10x more impressive to use, create and study.
To me this is the ultimate music theory assistant, a must have. I'm really happy with its development :) GJ
Passion + dedication = one of the best plugins ever.
The gift that keeps on giving - last update! I’ll be upgrading to scaler 3… really really helps with my education
Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!!
Scaler 2 is EASIEST the best R.O.I. of ANY music software which I have EVER purchased!
SCALER IS ESSENTIAL. For me anyway. Keep em coming Davide.
These updates always feel like Christmas morning. Looking forward to exploring the new features.
Some cool new features here ! thx for the hard work. Scaler is one of my very favorite plug for sure. Keep on good work the V3 is not so far now ! I'll be there
You guys are wizards....hats off very impressive
Love Scaler2. It’s brought me hours of joy 😊
A brilliant product that just keeps getting better. Thanks, David. I love it.
Thank you for the live suggestions feature! Saves time from fishing for alternatives... Especially for people like me who sometimes struggle to imagine progressions.
APPRECIATED
Happy days, this is pretty cool, cheers David n Co 👊
The goat plugin gets even better absolutely love your work Dave and the scaler team ❤️
Hi Davide … thanks for this video and for all the new features.
Thanks Scaler 2 team! Best VST ever!
this video explained more about Scalar, than anything else on youtube ! thank you !
I really need to start using this, I got Scaler 1 when it first come out and as I no my music theory to a small degree I never open it but the possibilities are endless, downloading the new update NOW!
I love this Program...easily my top plugin .
Scaler 2 is an indispensable application for me :)) thank you very much .. A very well thought out and very useful application...I'm glad to have you :)
Incredible to see how much development you’ve put into the earliest versions of Scaler, and now it’s a really comprehensive tool. Thank you for all the updates. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do next. Big fan of your work.
This makes me look forward to the iOS update!
Thanks for putting in all the effort to make Scaler such an amazing tool. It both helps me understand music theory, visualizing chords and progressions, as well as going beyond my still limited understanding of theory and very limited technical playing skills, and just play around with music making it sound fun and cool. It's a wonderful tool. ❤👍
Really impressive Scaler. Excellent tool. Good explanation.
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.
BRAVO SCALER ANOTHER ONE TIME!
You did it again, Davide, a superb video about a very nice upgrade. Thanks to you guys out there for the continued work.
I can watch david show cool stuff on the greatest plugin ever made for hours lol
Thanks for the left-handed guitar chords preview option. Great 👍🏻
again a incredible update Davide, muchos graçias
So my favorite program just got better.
Live suggest mode in included in an online program that's $200.💩 Thanks for this.🥰 The updates are always meaningful even though much of this program isn't even touched by me. Someday I'll just understand it.
Don't forget the official online course it's $15US at the moment and was designed by SOS and Davide just for the purpose of covering every single detail.
I just purchased the course and noticed it only goes up to module 8 for Scaler 2.8. will there be an addition to the course for 2.9? Cheers
@@easyneal The team is working on this now @easyneal. Hopefully up end of next week.
👍 Great, thank you!
Just downloaded... The live suggestion is amazing, thank you! 👏
What an awesome plugin.!
Thank you for your good work on saler !!!❤
Impressive live suggestion, great job
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!
You guys are really doing great with this amazing plugin. Happy to be a paid user of it! Thank you!!
celtic chord ! This whata I waiting for!
Great overview. Thanks
LEFTY GUITAR PLAYER HERE THANK YOU!!! David can you create a midi track with a random midi effect that controls the key switch? that way, you would have an endless performance for each passages?
That live mode is dope got dammmmmmm
Bought it now because of your tutorials, I didnt know this existed.
Thank you for this amazing product
Amazing update 👍👍👍
Thanks for continuing to keep the updates coming! Amazing app.
Great Update !!
I hope v3 adds its own piano roll to the scaler. I would also like Ghost Note to be activated for each inserted scaler. You can view your MIDI arrangement easily and objectively. I want it to be a tool to help you decide.
I am in awe with capabilities, instant purchase
Would absolutely love a suggestion feature that is used for chords within a progression. Such as having your first chord and your third chord and the suggest mode would find a passage chord
You kind of have that in modulation with the pivot chords suggestion, secondary dominants and in Live Suggest Mode!
Pretty Cool, I would love to see key switching on Performances and Arpeggios too. Currently I've been Midi capturing the output while clicking through them in real time. This program started off amazing and has continued so far beyond what anyone could have expected. Some of the best money ever spent on a plugin!
Love the key switches, what about using them more, like for the arpeggio styles?
Nice idea. Totally customizable would be nice. 3.0 is coming I think this and drums will be next.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I LOVE the "free updates" way of doing business. Same with FL's lifetime updates. I think i got Scaler when it was 2.1. So many awesome improvements! Always pleasant surprise.
Thanks so much for all the very helpful improvements you and your team tirelessly come up with every so many months! However... what about the next new feature in upcoming Scaler 3: suggesting chord-progressions to a given melody? Wouldn't that be the mother of all gamechangers?
I guess the obvious next question is, when are we going to see anything about Scaler 3 teaser features?
Noticed how you mentioned this is the completion of "Scaler 2", which can only mean you've got Scaler 3 in the pipeline almost ready to go?
Soon! 😊
Always had hoped you would go the route of enabling content packs to be sold that easily drop in. Originally for chord sets, but as you've added functionality it would now include Bass patters, passages, etc...
Devs have some plans that will facilitate this and we are expecting an announcement soon!
Man - more! Request a way to bind the Suggest feature so maybe a split bind with section C bind or something. It will make it easier and smoother to test the suggest chords with what one has in section C.
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) 😍❤
When will 2.9 drop for iPad?
Devs are working hard to get that up on the App Store very soon! Week or two we are guessing.
Love it.
Please allow the triggering of more octaves without any work arounds. I select the chord set, and it can be triggered by all the keys on my keyboard in one click please 🙏🏽
Predictions for 3? Ill go first. 1 Drums drums drums. 2 Schillinger interference patterns as rhythmic/melodic options. 3. playback options generated from input (drum loop, midi clip, listen function) rhythm, passage, and bass as 1st priority. 4 bundled or integrated MIDI BUS FUNCTIONALITY. Reply with yours please 👍
My guess is that Scaler 3 is coming
nice new features, Scaler is great it just needs a better melody section, with randomize functions and some parameters to tweek
Hey Davide, you always bring very valuable features to the table in every new version. Many thanks for that :)
When upgrading, do I have to uninstall the old version before installing the latest? OR Does the installer upgrade the version on the fly?
Thanks a lot
No need to uninstall - all updates install over the top. Hope that helps.
I honestly think the only thing scaler can add at this point is step sequencer for melodies I think it’s glorious
Hi and thanks.Very useful plugin. I hope that in time with the help of Scaler I will understand more about music theory. I have a large library of MIDI files and now I don't know if I will need it or not. As far as I understand, you can create both simple and very complex chords and even melodies in Scalar. This is very exciting.
It's worth the learning curve, one way or another Scaler has a role to play in every music making venture we embark upon. Enjoy the journey and hope it gives you some great rewards
Great update! Can we expect this for the iOS version as well?
Yes! We are expecting this anytime now!
Still one of the best plug ins Ive ever purchased and it keeps getting better
Wonder what is planned for scaler 3
Full blown compositional DAW maybe 🤔
Maybe 😉
can you add some Hardstyle and drum and bass features into scaler in the future?
It's there, man dnb producers (including myself!!) use it for bass style music. It's just that lots of the examples don't show that. I will make a 'making a dnb tune' video for you! 🙂
@@davidecarbonemusic nice
Amazeballz
When will you add ostinsto patterns, or a midi visualizer so we can more easily move a note in the chord if we wanted to before dragging it to our daw?
There are several Ostinato patterns through out under sequences and also melody in the Performance Section. The rest may be coming soon!
When is it out?
Great! IOS also?
Devs are working hard to get that up on the App Store very soon! Week or two we are guessing.
I use Scaler 2 for the PC and for the iPad. It's great software. I am still enthusiastic - is there already a release date for Scaler 2.9 for iOS?
Scaler 2.9 iOS and Scaler EQ iOS both coming next week or two!
When will you allow external midi loop to be adjusted using chords from scaler? Scaler 3 maybe!
I might have missed it, but when is Scaler 3 coming out?
Nothing announced officially but we are expecting something big Q4 24!
So can you put Scaler first in the chain so it triggers a vst instrument so you dont have to hear the internal Scaler sounds? Great video by the way.
@@johnny_blz Thank you for your reply that was very helpful.
Such an useful tool.. Hope it wasn’t The very last update.
For switching passages, you can assign certain keys on a midi controller keyboard to play those? thats why they are green correct? if so, would you mind sending a link to a video on how to assign that.
Hey Tom what you see is what you get! C1-B1 are the default key switches to switch between Passages 1-7. You can also assign command mappings but that is a little more cumbersome. Please refer to the command mappings or watch here th-cam.com/video/PLMDz9xxTEc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Sehkaupqojz-2pOE&t=921
please keep updates coming to the iPad version as well.. if you need to add in app purchases do so but don't stop supporting the iPad version. thank you.
Devs have mentioned they are working hard on getting it to iPad next week or two!
have scaler since release and dont get it how to use it and i think i will never understand it
Don't forget the official online course it's $15US at the moment and was designed by SOS and Davide just for the purpose of covering every single detail.
Shit I need to go home and update had this vst forever and is so underrated even by myself need to use this alot more
Are there any plans to implement a [button to change the octave of user chords in batches]?
You can do that in EDIT page. Rubber band the chords you want to change and any changes (Octaves, Semitone, inversions) apply to all the chords you have selected. Hope that helps.
V 2.9 only for MAC on Plugin Boutique. Or are you still uploading 😁
How are passages recorded? Perhaps I missed something, but you appeared to be selecting various passages by clicking on the green keys in real time. So, how does one commit to a sequence of passages? Thanks.
Record the keyswiches (midi) in your DAW. In the case of passages it's C1-B1
Would be great to see.. RANDOM option for Arps...
Hi. A query regarding "Bind incoming midi notes to chord triggers".
Would it be possible to bind the chord to keys of the scale?
Currently for example if I choose 'E' scale. Then to play the 1st E major chord I have to hit 'C'.
Input keys are fixed no matter what the scales are. A bit annoying.
Could you please make the binding scale aware? Thanks.
Sure thing - you want to go to SETTINGS/BIND MIDI and select TRUE SCALE from the ACTIVE BIND KEYS dropdown menu!
For more help head over to the wonderful community at forum.scalerplugin.com
I acquired Scaler 2 via the "rent to own" option on PluginBoutique. I can't work out how to update Scaler to this latest version. Will someone please advise me?
Log in to Plugin Boutique and go to your Account and then you will see it in the dropdown menu, Hope that helps.
Nice updates... However - what I do not see is how to put Scaler ahead of an instrument... Scaler Control. Is that something that is not out yet? Normally, in Live, I am putting Scaler on one channel and sending it to another to control an instrument.
This has been a feature for a while and is done in the video. Use it as a MIDI FX insert - not a channel strip FX.
@@sans-e maybe that's DAW specific language? I use Live and I do not see how I can add it as a midi FX. In Live, Scaler loads as an instrument.
