Drag and Drop From Scaler 3 Arranger to Bitwig Studio (VST3) Transposes Audio via Keys Lock and Binding

I don’t know if this is a bug or a feature.

If I drag and drop a selection of chords from the Arranger in Scaler 3 into Bitwig Studio (connected to the DAW via VST3), either as a Scene or into the regular track, the midi notes appear to be the same notes in the Bitwig midi edtor as compared to the Arranger > Midi Editor in Scaler.

With DAW Sync enabled, the chords played during playback in Scaler are different than the audio playback of the midi data in Bitwig. I have found I need to do two things:

  1. Disable “Keys Lock”. This appears to impact which chords are played back, which may transpose the playback audio. This might be a feature.
  2. Turn off “Binding”. This appears to impact which chords are played during playback, which may play the wrong set of chords that were imported into Bitwig. This seems like a bug.

I’ve had a similar issue in Logic. Dragged and dropped chords from Scaler 3 arrange page onto a midi track. After removing scaler control plugin, I play the midi back with a stock piano in Logic. Then notes like A3 appear on the piano roll but A1 is actually playing back.

Not sure what’s going on there but it’s definitely a problem.
