Hey guys! Thanks ever so much for helping out!

Wondering if this will be a good fit for sca I mainly use guitar plugins, I know midi mapping isn’t a thing on scaler, so I’m wondering if I can CC the knobs and buttons to control key switches in the guitar VST, and use the Keybed to control scaler?

The Alesis VI61? It’s a 61 key midi controller!..just wanting to be able to control as many notes chords as possible…thanks!

What plugin is that? Does it show the notes on the fretboard? Scaler 2 is a little confusing for reading the fretboard notes since it highlights so many voicing.
