Hi! I feel a little silly requesting something for Scaler 2 before it releases, but after seeing the Scaler 2 walkthrough I had to post this request. (I am PSYCHED for it!) It would be great if eventually there were the ability to _teach_ it an expression by playing something into it. A few examples **might** be: _Ostinato figures played in to scaler._ _Playing in a MIDI file that has a unique playing style the user likes._ _Perhaps rhythmic figures/styles being captured_ Etc… I’m assuming this is quite a bit complex as I’m guessing there’s some machine learning behind the algorithm… Assuming this _could_ eventually even possible I’m guessing it would be quite a while before it were a feature… Just wanted to make the request in case it hadn’t already crossed your mind or in your backlog of requests… Anyway thanks again. you have built something truly remarkable! Best… ---

We’d love to go there and that is where we are headed but as you correctly assumed there is a lot going on in terms of dev, implementation and interpretation! Will get there. We’ve got some half way features aimed for 2.5 Stay tuned and thanks for feedback. ---

Excellent feature request! And nice to hear some progress is being made on this! Now I want to join an Alpha group! Hehe.
