Bass line is the foundation of music. I hope I can quickly get rhythm types of various music classifications according to music classification. This allows for faster music production. At present, scaler is perfect in chords. I hope it can export bass rhythm and other music elements separately ---

Hi @swingmix, have you tried the Expressions called Rhythms? Those work well for rhythmic bass patterns. Cheers, Paul ---

I ended up copying MIDI out for the melody then copying it in Logic to a bass synth before then going into the midi and cutting out the notes I didn’t want. In effect splitting the midi (at B2 in this instance) and using that to pull out a bass line which I could then work on, knowing it was based around the arpeggiations I had started with. Basically treating Scaler as though the two instruments were layered, something I could have done in Logic had I thought, but doesn’t quite work for anything except very simple cases. ---

Hey @JonSeyton, at this stage something that could ease the work is by using Dynamic Grouping on your chords prior to drag them, this way a range selection of the bass notes will be easier. Cheers, Paul ---

Thanks. I’ve only really been doodling so far and need to go through all the videos, so I’m sure there’s a lot I haven’t spotted yet! ---

In addition to @luapmartin suggestions: > [@Bass / Root only Voicing](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/bass-root-only-voicing/3397/2): > > It’s clear to us that many users are requesting a bass line generator. Whilst that is cool I am more interested in a custom built, artist driven ‘Bass Performance Mode’. Ed and I and the rest of the team have discussed this and it is on the roadmap as a priority. I think we can make something special here. ---

GREAT! Hope to join bass playing mode as soon as possible. I want to have a catalog of artists and a catalog of music categories. Such as pop, hiphop, RNB, dance, house, trance… Etc THANKS YOU!
