Scaler 2 iPad Chord notes cut off if overlapping, and routing midi separately

Hi In Scaler 2 for iPad (iPad M3 Air, OS 26) “keys lock chord notes” if you trigger a note that is also in the presently played binded chord and then stop playing the binded chord, for me it is cutting off the “keys lock chord note” as well even if still playing it. I tried different setting with the sustain in Scaler 2 but that had no effect, and I’m not using sustain in the chain. I tried using “multi voice output” which sort of audibly prevents it from cutting off but also add an extra repeated note in the overlap too, which causes a wonky sound. Is there any setting for those overlapping notes not getting cut off? It doesn’t happen in Scaler 3, but as noted in another post I prefer the smaller octave jumps of the “chord notes” in Scaler 2.

Also, for bother Scaler 2 or 3, is if there is a way to route the binded chords and “keys lock chord notes” to separate midi channels? I haven’t determined how to do after reading though the forums. I saw some mentions of having two plugin Scaler instances with one set to bind chord and one set to “keys lock,” with the chords muted, but when i tried it the follower doesn’t change the chords in order to play “chord notes,” and also the leader will still play individual notes. Since the keys lock chord notes overlap with the binded chords also they can’t be routed to different channels based on the octaves in the DAW. The other posted and videos I saw about routing to different channels seem to only involved automatically triggered melodies.

Thank you.

Sorry I actually found the same solution that fixed both of these! The solution was multiple instances, which I had read about before and tried, but i tried it in a different way this time. The solution was not to have a leader and a follower as i had tried before but to have Scaler instance 1 with the binded keys but limit the input of the midi controller on that DAW track to only the key range of the binded keys. Then Scaler instance 2 to have the keys lock chord notes with chords muted (that part I had read before i just hadn’t figured out limiting Scaler instance 1, and thought the sync was supposed to do something with the chords but sync was not needed). Then the multiple instances also appeared to fix the notes cutting off overlapping notes as well. Now this is perfect! Thank you.

OK great to hear @dbs089605
