Scaler 3 as plug in within Live 12

While I understand that Live will not handle seperate sends to other plugins for seperate instruments within Scaler, I can not get midi from Scaler to a second midi channel in Live at all. As far as I understand I should be able to get all midi from Scaler and simply mute midi from unwanted channels.


I don’t know if it can be seen in this screen shot but I assume there is something I have wrong in settings. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @Jazman. Be sure to select the Scaler 3 plugin from the lower drop down menu on the destination track (currently set to Post FX). If the Scaler 3 plugin does not appear here, make sure you are using the Scaler 3 VST instrument plugin. Not the AU plugin, or the audio effect plugin as neither have a MIDI output.

Thank you so much Tristan. Don’t know how I missed that. All I had seen was pre and post effects and figured, well that makes no difference to my current purpose of just getting up and running. I have watched the video about muting midi on unwanted sounds and using multiple instances of Scaler. Not a real issue as I am only wanting Bass, Keys and Drums for backing as solo guitar/vocalist. I would like to know the technical term for what to request in the Ableton Live forum though. Maybe if enough of us request it we might get it.
