No midi in below pre and post FX for scaler to control other VSTI in live 11?

wouldn’t the FX be the audio FX and not MIDI? it looks like you’ve already routed the Scaler2 MIDI to the Piano. presumably you would add other VI and route their input to the Scaler2.

No, Scaler should show up as an option in that menu.

What Scaler are you using? You should be using Scaler 2 VST3.
