Here’s a YouTube video showing the issue
So I’m not 100% sure as to whether or not Scaler2 is the reason for this bug, but I have a strong feeling it is, as I have buddies who work in both DAW’s and never seem to experience these issues (that’s because they don’t use scaler2)
Edit: I changed the link, now you can see what I’m describing more accurately
Has anyone else experienced this? I’m more than happy to have a discussion regarding this.
If you notice, you will see that the consistent factor in experiencing this kind of issue is having scaler2 on the track, & also routing out into another plug-in.
If you’d like for me to recreate this problem, I’m more than happy to
Hi @Billiebobjoey welcome to the forum. I’m struggling a little to understand what you’re describing here. From your video it looks like you’re saying any time you have an instance of Scaler 2 in an FL Studio or Logic Pro project and drag in an any audio clip onto an audio track, the MIDI data on all of your other tracks changes in pitch?
This isn’t something I remember anyone ever reporting. In your video, it shows you first deleting Scaler 2 from the project then dragging in the audio clip, and the pitch still changes. To me this suggests the issue is not related to Scaler 2. Have you experienced this with projects that do not use Scaler 2 at all? Or does it only happen with Projects that contain an instance of Scaler 2?
Yeah so it is a weird problem indeed.
I’m going to paint the scenario:
I’m in FL Studio
I route out Scaler2 into Addictive Keys
I record a chord progression
I burn the MIDI from Scaler2 onto the Addictive Keys track
(SO far so good)
Here’s where the issue arises:
I will sometimes make an adjustment to the project.
Maybe I’ll add in an audio loop.
Maybe I’ll duplicate an instance of addictive keys
Maybe I’ll delete a track I no longer wish to use.
Regardless, as I then make this change: The pitch of whatever track that was connected to Scaler2 will now randomly change.
Like I mentioned earlier, maybe it isn’t Scaler2, but I think it’s worth looking into, because maybe Scaler2 is triggering something within FL Studio that causes it to do this.
I saw one of the forum submissions here that somebody was experiencing a random pitch change in logic (Link to it here)
Maybe it’s the same kind of problem that requires a similar solution?
Here’s another upload of a video showing the problem happening, but in a different project.
Note that I submitted this video to the FL Studio team as an effort to get this issue resolved with them too. They’ve been unresponsive in the matter
Strangely enough, this doesn’t tend to happen in Ableton (I also use that DAW)
Hi, yes there are some interesting similarities in what you’re describing and the forum post you linked to. Although it sounds like that was to do with the notes being produced by the Scaler Control plugin (made for Logic specifically) changing in pitch. It sounds like you’re saying the pitch of MIDI notes programmed in FL Studio are changing. Which I can’t think of an explanation for.
Nonetheless it is of course a good idea for you to make sure you are running the latest version of Scaler 2 which is 2.9.1 for optimum DAW compatibility.
It is also a little difficult to tell exactly what is going wrong in that second video you posted. You talk about FL Studio copy paste issues and cloning tracks and you mention that the pitch of something changes by an octave but I couldn’t see or hear that in your video.
If you’re able to provide a more direct example of the issue for us to see that would help us figure out if this is Scaler related or not. Because like I say I have not heard of this happening before.
Hey btw, I appreciate your consistency in response. It means a lot & makes me feel heard.
Okay so here I’ve decided to attach another video.
No commentary, just me cooking up.
I edited it down so that it’s less than 3 minutes long. I made sure to only include the essential parts of the process.
You can also note that in the beginning of the video, I am showing you the versions of FL Studio & Scaler2 that I am using (I am using the latest of both versions)
You’ll notice that at what’s being played at 1:18 is completely different in pitch compared to what is printed & played at 1:48 & afterwards.
Hi @Billiebobjoey thanks for the new video. One thing to keep in mind is to make sure you have unbound all of Scaler’s sections after printing the MIDI data. You initially recorded the MIDI data using bound notes to trigger chords in Scaler, but once this is printed you don’t want to be triggering chords any more, You just want to hear the notes you’ve printed.
So immediately after printing the MIDI, open Scaler and make sure no sections are bound and see if you continue you hearing pitch issues.
