Hi @AlertTheCats @youknowslim, welcome to the forum. Yes it can be tricky to cover all scenarios with the number of different hosts out there, however many of the concepts of audio/MIDI detection in Scaler 3 remain consistent across hosts.
First of all, after selecting Detect MIDI or Detect Audio from the detect menu, you can click the folder icon to import MIDI or audio files, plus drag and drop detection is coming in Scaler 3.1
For realtime MIDI detection in Logic you can use either the Scaler 3 Control MIDI effect plugin or the Scaler 3 instrument plugin on a MIDI / software instrument track containing some MIDI clips.
- Select Detect MIDI from the detect menu in Scaler 3 (via the record button at the top)
- Press record in the detect menu.
- Then press play in Logic from the appropriate point in the timeline. MIDI clips playing on that Logic track should be detected by Scaler in realtime and appear in Section A as detected chords, with detected scales appearing below in section B.
Alternatively you can play/perform MIDI in realtime using a MIDI controller rather than playing existing MIDI clips in Logic.
To detect audio the process is very much the same, however the easiest method is to add the Scaler 3 Audio audio effect plugin to an audio track.
- Select Detect Audio from the detect menu.
- Press record in the detect menu.
- Then play your song in Logic from the appropriate point.
You could also play an instrument such as a guitar through the audio track rather than playing pre recorded audio.
It is also possible to detect audio using the Scaler 3 instrument plugin via the Side Chain menu in the top right of the plugin window. Just select the Logic audio track from this menu which you would like Scaler to listen to and proceed with audio detention as above.
Hope this helps. Let me know if anything here is unclear.
