Hi,

Scaler 1.8 - doesn’t matter if i play on my Midikeyboard or with the mouse, the sound is playing only sth. about 1.1/2 seconds. Where can i change this?

**EDIT: I just noticed, that other sounds don’t have this behaviour. So this seems to be a loop problem with piano and other difficult sounds…**

Hi @busterkeaton

Only the newest sounds (added in 1.8) are loopable. The older sounds like the Piano have a specific length so you can’t change it.

Cheers,  
Ed

Thats a pitty, since the Piano sounds very nice.

There’ll be plenty of very nice loopable piano and other sounds in Scaler soon. Stay tuned.
