Two workflows for that:

1. Put your chords into a Pattern in Main section C, right click Edit Chord and select which notes you want In and Out from Scaler keyboard (beige-coloured keys are In); or
2. Midi Capture your Pattern and Drag into your DAW and edit manually with your own keyboard.

Well, the request from @swingmix when he says “directly” is probably referring to the ability to capture MIDI keyboard playing in real-time. And I agree, that would be great!

You mean play from your own Midi keyboard and capture your freestyle chords into Scaler?
