Scaler 2 General Discussion

Hi @STj,

  1. For the moment, there is no way to edit the notes in a chord, this is a feature coming in 1.3.
    In the meantime, to get a custom voicing, you can play the chord as you want it in detect mode then drag it to your progression:
  • Start a detection and reproduce the chord on your keyboard with the added/removed notes.
  • Drag the chord to your DAW edit the MIDI and re-detect it.
  • If you feel like diving into the technical side of things, you can even edit the XML file of your chord sets and customize the voicings. The format is detailed here: User chord-sets improvements in 1.2.

  1. The fastest way to re-detect without exporting the MIDI is to add the chord to the progression builder and save as a chord set. When you save, Scaler selects your chord set and runs a detection automatically. If you pick a scale that contains your chord you can then navigate to the chord variations. This will also be improved in 1.3 with new ways to find chord variations.

  2. We are planning to add an undo function in 1.3 too with the progression builder becoming even more central to the workflow.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a release date to communicate at this stage.
We are working hard to deliver a lot of new features, we have had some really cool ideas and great feedback from the community.
