I can’t understand exactly what the problem is and how you are taking MIDI to the DAW from Scaler. You explanation is very hard to understand. 1. Is Scaler in sync with your DAW? 2. Are you drag and dropping the pads from Scaler or do are your recording MIDI into the DAW per track? I can’t see enough of you Scaler Screen to really sus out anything here. Scaler won’t fill out a track based on any number of reasons. If your pattern is not timed correctly to do that. The main beat settings and each pad setting determines how long the MIDI is for each pad. Can you share that info? ---

The most important thing you need to know here is Scaler does not detect timing information at all. You need to adjust that in the DAW or adjust it manually in Scaler. Scaler timing depends on the Beat global settings and the pad timing under edit. Scaler was never intended to respond in the way you are trying so it’s not a bug it’s just the way it works. ---

**Scaler does NOT detect timing information!** **Global Beat setting controls beats per chord (PAD)**. Under the gear on the upper right is the Global Beats settings - Here I have it set for **8 beats**. Under edit I have the first chord pad set for **X1** which means that pad is set for **8 beats** so if you drag and drop the MIDI from that pad it will be 2 measures long (4 beats per measure at 4/4 Timing) — ![Screen Shot 2022-05-08 at 7.28.29 PM](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/images/transparent.png) Setting the Pad for X2 in this case makes the drag and dropped MIDI 4 measures long — ![Screen Shot 2022-05-08 at 7.28.44 PM](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/images/transparent.png) ---
