Yep, just one instance with 6 keys mapped to chords and perform turned on…nothing else other than some settings set. This is just the tip of the iceberg. When you factor in speed of playback, chords structures, voicings, instruments and quantization settings, the variations seem limitless. There is so much more here than I ever knew.
I’ve burned hours in the last few days just tapping on 7 keys and I never played a chord. The really cool thing is that you get sucked into the patterns and you start to hear bits and pieces of combinations and sequences that you can easily tie together by improvising. If you make a mistake, you can just keep playing and if you are paying attention, it smooths itself out. Maybe lots of other people use Scaler like this, but it is new to me. With a little practice, Scaler is a melody/topline machine!
For those that might be curious about this approach, here is a related post with some additional detail.
