TLDR; How? Choose the appropriate scale and click on the correct chords for the melody and you’re done. The chords you click on will be in Scaler. If you’re wanting Scaler to pick the correct chords for you, you will have to provide Scaler with more information than just a melody. > [@Chord (Scaler 2.2) for melody (Logic pro x)](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/chord-scaler-2-2-for-melody-logic-pro-x/5902/3): > > That would be a problem. For Scaler to recognize chord in audio or midi there has to be chords there already. A melody can be sung to multiple chords. What you can do is make a guess and play/sing along with Scaler as you try different chords and jot them down. If you had your voice with two harmonies recorded and fed that into Scaler that might work for you. As long as there are chords to recognize Scaler will do that for you. ---

Get scaler to detect the key and scale in which it will then show you the (diatonic) chords belonging to that scale. When a note in your melody hits, play the corresponding chord. Filter out enough chords that you are left with a chord progression that feels nice and goes with the melody. From there, use scale and try performances, melodies, rhythms, phrases etc. hope that helps.
