Corrected post: yes there are 7 patterns with 8 chords each. That’s 56 chords. For now that is what we have. Maybe it will change in a future version. ---

> [@Divesh](#): > > Hi in scaler 2 has only seven patterns , is any way to add more pattern It depends what you call a pattern. If you consider it as a short sequence of notes , what Scaler would call at one time “Expressions” e.g. Moderato /Pianissiimo or Bass/ Urban-8 or Conspirito/ Amore, I counted then in Scaler 2.4.1 as being 658. There are quite a few more now. Are we talking about the same thing? ---

Hey Guys I’m confused. I think @Divesh is referring to the patterns that contain the blocks of chords, which create the harmonic structure. ![patterns 1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/7/721179bcc0672122508ab65dfdcdc5a7fe50e6a0.jpeg) Whereas @jamieh seems to be referring to the Performances ![patterns 2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/3/302a681f3f468c4d629f79fea3798ea447e49e71.jpeg) which have been created based on various styles of music. These, of course, are basically motifs and phrases that you can then use to create melodies. From my perspective @Divesh is correct in saying > [@Divesh](#): > > scaler 2 has only seven patterns ---

My mistake. I had just read the Pattern maker thread and still was thinking of performances as patterns. ---

Just a thought, you can also save the 8x7 matrix as a pattern, and then start another one, and save that too in your library, and then recall the endless amount of patterns you can store on your disk and recall any time. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/4/4e55585aac9f3d6278e79eade53bffc52d1c82d4.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/2/23d52dbccceec603ecdaea8522353b02474a757c.jpeg) For managing more than 8x7 chords belonging together, that’s what I use the DAW for 🙂 ---

Hello thanks for reply Can you bind via midi to saved endless pattern ---

Unfortunately, not that I know. I don’t think you can bind a MIDI trigger to loading saved sets. Cool idea though. Feature request perhaps? ---

When you bind midi the notes in the range C1 to B2 select patterns but you are limited to the patterns that are loaded into Scaler. See [this short tutorial.](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/using-midi-clips-to-control-scaler/10447). Unfortunately, there is no way to instruct Scaler to load patterns from disc.
