Personal feeling: SCALER EDIT page needs to be upgraded. I rarely use it. Actually this page could do better.
Bingo! I think you are on to something there

I even forgot that it exists. That place has a lot of potential to do even more amazing things.

Interesting. I won’t say it couldn’t be improved upon. But I use Section C all the time. Multiple patterns and with the somewhat recent update that allows you to switch between patterns with key switches I essentially use it to build up a song sequence. And then I either drag the MIDI out or capture what I play in Scaler and then drag it out.
If I want Piano Roll or Music Notation I use my DAW. Some of the preset performances do not conform to the exact chords I want to use so I’ll record them with the wrong notes then use the Piano Roll MIDI Editor or the Score Editor to adjust the notes.
A Mini Piano Roll Editor inside of Scaler would be fine, but I’d rather see improvements in other parts of the program.

I think Scalers playback engine could be developed into something similar more exciting, maybe as the Reason Chord Sequencer.
You drag in your chords on a time line. See the bottom of the Reason player. Nice if it can be up to 8 bars long and up to 1/32 resolution.
But with added features:
Apply a performance per cord.
Edit the performance midi notes (could be a pop out window, and save). That way I can make my own ostinatos, strums, riffs, etc. And apply it on a per chord basis.
+++ For a piano roll. Would be great to see what is going and quickly make edits via a piano roll would be save so much time.

Reason products are great. Really fodder for creativity. There are a lot of great ones in addition to the chord program.
The only thing and a really big thing I hate about Reason Studio is its own Daw system and it is too dependent on it.
It is June 2024. The scaler reaches 2.9. Waiting for 3.0.
I wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion.
I sincerely hope that ux/ui will be as convenient to hover over as FL’s piano roll.
Most musicians believe that they spend an overwhelming amount of time editing MIDI with a mouse rather than recording.
Rather than a completely meaningless update, I think it will be a good update that will resonate with most amateur musicians.
Think about it
Based on the codes selected from the code section
Edit and drag out voicing, rhythm, and progression with the scaler’s accurate suggestions!
This will increase both work time and efficiency.

You don’t need to use it in the Reason DAW. Use all instruments, etc. in the effects rack in whatever DAW you use. I use it just fine in Ableton Live and Cubase.
