Possible bugs (export and arrange window)

Scaler 3 Support Bug Reports
1

  1. I dragged a chord progression out of S3 into my DAW (Bitwig 5.1.9) and one of the chords overlapped the following one for its entire duration

  2. I adjusted the octave of some chords in my progression in the arrange window and at some point, it started playing them back in a lower octave despite not changing any parameters. I had to adjust the octave parameter down and back up for it to get back where I wanted it.

Having the same issue as 1. I’ve cut the chords (including some performance effects) to half a bar and arranged them on the main track, but when I drag the progression into the DAW (Ableton), the resulting MIDI contains increasingly overlapping chords because each chord is added for four bars.

This currently makes the drag feature (Which I’ve used a lot in Scaler 2) unusable for me.

I am never seeing any of this behaviour the Drag and drop works perfectly. Can you please give some clear steps to try and reproduce this?
Thanks.

Here you go: (Scaler 3.0.0 and Ableton Live 12.0.5)

  • Add Scaler VST3 to a track in Ableton in session view
  • Create a simple chord progression and drag 4 chords to Main Track
  • Switch to Arrange view in Scaler, change resolution to 1/2 bar
  • Shorten the chords to 1/2 bar each
  • Add Performance (Accento default is fine, x1)
  • Drag the Arrow to a spot in the Session view on another track
  • Add any keylike instrument to the new track

Expected result: The new pattern should, when played back, resemble the output of Scaler itself

Actual Result:

  • The resulting pattern is 3 bars instead of 2 (Remember, we have four 1/2 bar chords on Main Track)
  • The resulting pattern contains overlaps between the bars. The performance is rendered into the MIDI for the whole length of the performance for each chord (In case of Accento, a full bar) instead of the length of the actual chord on main track.

Here’s a different reproduction (just tested it):

  • Add four chords (each one 1 bar) to main track
  • Add four bar performance such as Jazz Soft
  • Drag to DAW

The resulting pattern is 7 bars long (four for each chord plus the remainder of the last chord)

I can record you a screencast, if you would like (give me somewhere to send a link to)

OK great thank you.
So Dragging chords from the Main Track with Global Performance turned on exports the incorrect Midi!
I can’t reproduce 2 though. if I drag from additional tracks (other than the Main Track) it’s always correct for me.
