Any suggestions on a workflow to input songs that constantly modulate? I’m trying to input the chords for ‘Blues for Alice’ in F (by Charlie Parker). I’m a noob trying to get my workflow together - as this is one of the ‘easier’ modulations! I can’t quite work out how to set up all the different …

Well I did manage to do it, but I’m sure there must be a faster way that hunting every individual scale for the chords! Thanks for any slick workflows as jazz modulations are semi-logical, but I can’t work out an easier pattern for now. [Blues for Alice in Scaler]

bumping this for any workflow tips when writing brief “modulations” or just secondary dominants—obviously playing in a midi sketch is great but I’m not much of a keyboard player (guitar); also, using the jazz tune presets and otherwise creating building blocks has also been an OK workaround – haven’…

I think the fastest way is to play in the chords with MIDI detect or audio detect. I was just working on Giant Steps and Blue Bossa and found it best to play in the changes and then go back and improve the voicings and voice leading. Scaler does come up with some odd enharmonics, but those can be r…

I’d like to see some type of functional harmony interface. I have the Total Mapping Harmony app on iOS, though think it’s interface could be better and it’s not for windows (my main system for composing), so if I need to look up some possible chords, I’ll break out the iPad then drop them into Scale…

Thanks for having a go at this tune. This lets me know that it’s currently not easy to write jazz tunes in Scaler! Most jazz tunes change key centres rapidly and only for a couple of measures before returning back to the home key. Maybe future versions of Scaler will make it easier to imitate thi…

Why can you use a combination of the Circle of Fifths and its extensions in Chord Edit mode, Secondary Scale and Modal Modulation in the Modulation section? Also right clicking chords in Section C gives you some tonal options too.
