Here is another interesting workflow for Scaler and AAS Strum-GS Again, Scaler triggers both chords and riff in AAS Strum-GS, but after that… A premise: I looked at a video yesterday, where and AAS Strum-GS developer says that AAS Strum-GS riffs can be [homemade](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxinRnZWtRc) 😲 The workflow was not easy to me, so I tried again to use Ezkeys to do the trick for me in brief, I copy-pasted a series of Funky MIDIs and asked Ezkeys to randomize them, then I dropped the modded MIDIs in the AAS Strum-GS folder… Unfortunately it didn’t work 🤪 Then, I came back to my usual [workflow](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/scaler-is-good-at-psychedelic/6667) and I decided to use a Blues pattern instead and after a while an interesting series of riffs jumped out The problem is that in each riff created, only a part sounded cool, so I used the new Ableton Live 11 feature Comping that let you melt together pieces of MIDIs, and again in a trial and error style (that I love 😄) and after a few cut & sew this [Latin (or Spanish) piece of song](https://soundcloud.com/user-658469515/latino-cut-sew/s-aXi9jzuAydl) jumped out Here is the Scaler xml [Scaler-State\_2021-03-18\_011024.xml](https://forum.scalermusic.com/uploads/short-url/1sBL4bNZOFZ8aTVKVF3ArFOCejZ.xml) (9.8 KB) The setup of MIDI Polysher and AAS Strum-GS The black key made red in MIDI Polysher avoids that Scaler hits the AAS Strum-GS Stop key ![MIDI Polysher](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/6/6530a48a96afcf213a524992d76982417915ef28.jpeg) ![Strum-GS](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/5/553c11bf642983b29b06ddc8cd0c7f8bdd3e06f3.jpeg) I love Scaler, and Strum-GS, more and more because I’m having a lot of fun with them ---

I practically stole Strum (in an insane sale on PB) sorry, but I love it to bits, especially if you use it woth AAS Object Delay (my goto delay as of now). ---

Claudio - You certainly have lots of experiments on going. Do you ever complete a piece of music? Or are they just bits and pieces? Seems like some of those should be completed. ---

> [@jamieh](#): > > Claudio - You certainly have lots of experiments on going. Do you ever complete a piece of music? I’ve been wondering that for some time, but to be honest I dared not ask 😃 Also, there has been a fairly comprehensive list of music that’s not on his list, and I’m still trying to see any pattern of common genre in the elements … Footnote ; Claudio - having been sballato (??) before of my obscure use of English idiom, this is intended as a piece of good natured English ‘ribbing’ (nervatura??) ; your posts are always informative, sound and witty - not to mention the occasional amusing sparring with @Bernd ! ---

> [@jamieh](#): > > Do you ever complete a piece of music? No very commonly… 😁 I do mostly proof of concepts, because I love way more playing without recording anything 🤪 ---

I am with Claudio on that. Producing finished pieces is only one motivation to engage with music. I too prefer a more experimental process, see what is doable, and jam with it in the process. The act of discovery can still be a creative endeavor. Classic tension between journey and destination. ---

> [@yorkeman](#): > > I’ve been wondering that for some time he he, actually I have my second concept album… well “concept album” is an inflated term for a 🐇 composer 😁 Anyway I have this second album that uses old British epic poetry, where the “heroes” are roosters and hens, something that @yorkeman could appreciate (or quite the opposite LOL) The name of this album is Rock à la Coque, and the cover will show cartoons drawn by me, but it is stuck in a sort of beta status because I realized my English pronunciation is awful 🤪 Sure, I know that some famous [singers with incomprehensible voice](https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/unintelligible-singers-vocalists-you-have-the-most-trouble-understanding.997165/page-7) exist and existed, nevertheless I am unsure about singing the spoofy texts I created, or singing in Italian using nursery rhymes maybe Then, I have tons of proof of concept that have a potential, but each time I run my DAW and Scaler I am always bewitched ending to try something new 😁 But don’t give up! A day or another, the new platin… oops carrotum album will jump out
