Preamble: The [video made by Davide](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/using-audio-detection-to-make-a-track-with-scaler-2/13091/4) used a very simple input, but what happens with a complex one?

Playing a miniMoog, even if not the real stuff, is a lot of fun 😍

I mean playing freely, moving sliders and buttons, without the cage of chords

I played some time this way, up to realizing that the solo was possibly useful for a complete song, so I recorded and dropped the audio output to EZ Bass, and then to EZ Drummer 3 to have a basis

BTW, the reason why I love these 2 plugins so much is the easiness to put them in the formula, with zero hassle; too bad that other plugins, notably guitars aren’t so easy

Then I used Scaler Audio to get a series of chords and the scale (a G Persian) from the Minimonsta

[Scaler-Audio from the moog.xml](https://forum.scalermusic.com/uploads/short-url/alMci3JfcSbSwYkeJsPx5djUW9e.xml) (72.7 KB)

and I used it then to (try to) drive a guitar

This part of the process was not easy, as I said, because those plugins aren’t integrated in the Toontrack ecosystem, but I was eventually able to use this NI Sunburst

I then used the Isotopes to Mix & Max

I can say that my preferred combo includes currently some Relays + Visual Mixer + Ozone Imager + Tonal Balance

With these tools, I can place the instruments in the space easily and visually, a lot easier than using (my) ears…

And here is the resulting tune [Moogy](https://soundcloud.com/user-658469515/moogy)

I hope that some expert advice me to improve the mix, because I’m not skilled in it (not mentioning the rest 😁)
