Playing Midi without having to draw in notes. (User Track)

Scaler 3 Feature Requests
1

If I’m overlooking anything, please let me know. So I’m a big fan of scaler, 2, and also of scaler 3. One thing that really confuses me about scaler. 3 is you have all these MIDI outs and you can assign to say you have 10 different tracks, you can say midi, 1 midi out 2 etc. But when I select the user track so I can make an original piece of work It does not work. Even is route it to a MIDI track so I can’t hear anything if your playing a custom piece if you using the premade bass midi it works fine. And then if I have a loop playing in the background and I want to record live, you can’t even do that and hear the music at the same time. You could just hit the keys and guess to capture it and then drag it on to there. But it’s very uncomfortable.
User track seems to work perfectly if you’re drawing in the notes only. If you’re trying to actually play live It’s pretty uncomfortable because you can’t hear what you’re playing over it. Unless I’m doing something wrong, there seems to be no way to hear it when play live. When you’re playing it live now if I route at the same mini channel 9 and then I enter my chords manually, then it’ll work. It’ll go to mini channel 9, but if I just start playing, it won’t basically, what I’m trying to do is say play a piano on channel one and then play a melody, a custom melody to the chords on channel 2 and then play a custom baseline on channel 3. Anything that has to do with being custom is a real pain. But if you take the premade stuff, it’s perfect, it works perfect. Is there anything coming out to address this? 'cause I spent a few hours and I just cannot figure it out. Is there a video addressing this that I don’t know of if so, please let me know. Thank you so much.

We will eventually have a a MIDI input record on the user track and individual MIDI input for each channel. That will come later this year. For now you can use it like Scaler 2. Turn off DAW sync and use trigger notes in your DAW. You can mute the Chord Clips (shift > click) or you can use Chord Follow tracks. There’s several ways to do this and watching the tutorial videos can be a good help.

Wouldn’t scaler have to have the live sync with other instances of scaler 3 like 2 does for this to work? Thanks for your time.
