Scaler 3 chord editing/auditing and other issues

Hi developers

Trying the work-flow below

I found some issues

You are auditing the chords in the Editing page, and you have to change a chord in the middle: there is not a fast way to change the loop lenghts without going out this page and going to the Main page and the opposite way, so I hope that in the future we’ll have the option to change the loop lenghts in the same page where I am editing/selecting chords

EVEN BETTER, I hope that the option to “select without including” a chord will be implemented
What?
I try to explain it with a picture

I don’t like the Amin7 so I go to the Create > Explore page

Now, my loop contains one zillion of chords, but I just want to change Amin7 with another in the compass card, so please add the option to:

  • loop fast one chord before and one after
  • select a possible substitute like Ebmin, and
  • without D&D Ebmin, let Amin7 sounding as an Ebmin

Is it doable? I really hope so

Another uncomfortable thing is that you cannot change all patterns, because many are strictly linked with the choices made before, and I think this issues was reported by many already; it means that when you make a mistake, you have to delete a track and re-made another one; Scaler 2 was better in this way

And, I found that certain patterns are too much scarce; for example there are very few rock basslines; I don’t know if the option to add other patterns is in this release already; if not, it will be a welcomed addendum

Another issue: I found that if the Bitwig Audio engine crashes, when I reload Scaler 3 the patterns selected previously aren’t restored

Due to this flaw, I decided to save Audio and MIDI exporting them

The MIDI has some issues:
If I select Multy track I have one MIDI only, instead of multiple MIDIs (one for each instrument) so what I am supposed to do with it?

epic-multitrack.mid (13.8 KB)

And the Single track also seems useless… :roll_eyes:

epic-singletrack.mid (12.8 KB)

The audio is strange as well; longer then expected: more than 105 instead of 75 (both Scaler 3 as a plugin and the drummer), why?

So in 3.3 we will see the timeline and loopmarkers on all pages! The timeline and chord selected will stick on all pages! There will be a ‘Insert at Playhead Position’ function which makes editing, trying and flicking between pages whilst writing so much easier.

We are also looking at ways to change Motions on the same track but struggling as there is much back end stuff we need to consider.

Overall 3.3 is markedly different and makes this software much more magical.

Something I always needed and wanted. :heart:

Looking forward to see the magic operating.:star::star::star::star::star:
