Hi all, I’m curious to know if it’s possible to capture the different voicings from the drop down menu (‘Dynamic’ etc) straight into the pads. I can do it by exporting and then re-importing the midi, but would love to just save them directly. My aim is to have columns of variations eg Min 7s, then rows with different voicings. I work in a dance music genre with not much use for progressions, so I’d just like to have a set of different voicings in one key that I can then transpose. Thanks for any help! ---

Hi @Kunekshan Scaler can do all of that - in many ways! Unfortunately it requires getting to know it a bit better. The manual and my videos on Youtube are handy, and the [official Scaler 2 course](https://online.schoolofsynthesis.com/scaler-2-course-page) is the sure fire way of getting to understand it best. But for now here’s two bits of info that may help! Extract and Apply Voicing: [https://youtu.be/GJm-cJQez5c?si=S2PGzqJZyTw7C5wN&t=1319](https://youtu.be/GJm-cJQez5c?si=S2PGzqJZyTw7C5wN&t=1319) Generate Parallel Harmony 1 [https://youtu.be/GJm-cJQez5c?si=zR3rwcgLHbnf1A-\_&t=1056](https://youtu.be/GJm-cJQez5c?si=zR3rwcgLHbnf1A-_&t=1056) Generate Parallel Harmony 2 [https://youtu.be/9IKZZqEljEo?si=1fLcxBSgxKQtdJrs&t=1258](https://youtu.be/9IKZZqEljEo?si=1fLcxBSgxKQtdJrs&t=1258) ---

Thanks for this @davide! Those look like helpful reference videos, will watch them through over coming days. I think the voicing he extracts was already present in one of the chords though. If I set up a F Min triad on a pad and then turn on one of the global voicings like Dynamic, I don’t think I can extract the global voicing? ---

Yes no problem. Just extract and apply to any chord. Turn off global voicing and it will still be there.
