Scaler 3 cannot import chord sets from Scaler 2

[davide]

Yep go to your user library not your shared library

Note for Scaler 3.1 we are going to simply this whole process and allow batch import right in the user category. Aiming for some nice folder management right there too.
This is one area where I think we let our users down by not making the above clear. Please give us a few weeks to rectify and apologies.

Hey jay. If you are on a Mac the precised paths are:

@jeffreyk

My Scaler 2 User Chordsets are stored here: mac hd/Users / Shared / Plugin Boutique / Scaler 2 / Sets

I simply copied this folder to here: Mac HD / Users / Name / Library / Scaler Music / Scaler 3 / Chordsets.

Then I opened a new instance of Scaler 3 and selected the User option. All my User Chordsets were visible in their original folders and order. Simply selecting the chordset loaded it. Any previously instantiated Scaler 3 instances will not see the User Chordsets. That requires a reload of the project file.

It makes no logical sense that there was not a way of grabbing (importing) all user chord sets from Scaler 2 when installing Scaler 3.

If you can scan for plugins if multiple sorts this should he here. Having to go through and import chord sets 1 by 1 is a huge pain and shouldn’t att all be necessary!

I followed exactly the process outlined above for Mac OS and nothing shows up in scaler 3. Very weird.

I notice that scaler 2 chordsets are .xml and scaler 3 are .s3p I wonder whether this is my problem?

Scaler 3 Finding where Imported chord sets are stored

Can I firstly congratulate all the team behind Scaler 3 and thank them for the new improvements. Great Job ! What i really like is the streamlined structure especially for saving files. Mine is able to import my files from Scaler 2. It’s much less distracting and more focussed allowing you to get on with the important stuff without getting distracted. The file saving and the patterns saving in Scaler 2 allowed you to go off course and keep too much which encouraged too much deviation, distracti…

What you just explained drives me a lot more crazy than the way you´d do it in Scaler 2, just sayin…

This is also where I found the chordsets; worked fine for me. Copied over 250 xml files and they show up just fine in Scaler 3

[davide]

Just confirming this is much easier to do in Scaler 3 v1.0.6 where you can import folders, multiple chord sets and arrange (rename, create, delete) folders within the User section of Scaler 3

Hi Davide,

Thanks for following up on this, and good to hear that the preset issues that users are having are being addressed. To answer a question you asked earlier: yes, I happen to have a bunch of Scaler 2 files that are saved as “sessions”. I am happy that Scaler 3 is moving towards a simpler file system. However, will a future update allow for the import/conversion of chords from Scaler 2 sessions to Scaler 3 chord sets, you think?

Hope my question is clear, and I’m not getting my terminology mixed up.

Hi @Hajee and Welcome to the forum. Not sure on ability to import sessions. There’s lots on our roadmap and its a fine line between focusing on our existing users (which we primarily do) and also supporting development of the platform we have.
