You need to set up a track to send to an external synth. We don’t know what your DAW is unless you tell us but each DAW has a method for that. Then you can just Drag and Drop from Scaler to that track.

Just use the External Instrument Plugin in Live. Make sure Live recognizes your Novation Peak. Route Scaler to the External Instrument track same as you would route it to a VSTi track.
