Hi all, just wanted to point out Tristan has made a great little tutorial on all the various ways of recording and exporting MIDI within Scaler 3. Particularly useful for those that are new to Scaler 3.

Useful for all of us.
Thank you for spending the time and effort to compose this video but the video itself shows how extremely complicated things are
For example there are two record buttons in this workflow and both look basically identical . I could make any other comments but they will be wrongly interpreted as rude for the sake of being rude when I’m trying to be helpful
I realised tonight
The way to fix the layout is to imagine you’re designing a PHSYSICAL machine
Maybe insert a virtual screen into actual app?
I don’t know but this is not a simple video to follow
At all
And it’s made by the foremost authority on earth
The people who actual create the product
This is why I think typically the iPad version is so much more sophisticated in design and user interface
The design mentality adopted for it is more geared towards thinking in Practical physical terms
I would make whoever is in charge of iPad design in charge of design for the whole of scaler
The thing that keeps coming up for me, in my workflow, is within the gap between stages 1 and 2 of this video. Correct me if I’m wrong in my approach
A chord progression of bound chords is recorded into the DAW.
(This is my go-to way to come up with progressions)
In order for Scaler to be functional in creating more parts, this progression now has to be manually entered into Section C.
(This process breaks my flow)
I feel that it could be a simple function to introduce where the progression is captured by Scaler, in the rhythm that it was performed in.
Scaler 2 allowed for performances to be triggered by the MIDI of these bound chords, but seamingly not in 3

Yes agreed here @AdamMozart I think where we are headed is to allow the capture of rhythmic chords and the Keys Lock functionality internally within the User track in Scaler 3. That’s where we are going.
You can use it just like S2 and the Main Track Sync function coming next few weeks in S3.1 will allow that.
So you can use multiple scalers each with their own motion all in sync. Voila.

Hey Dave!
Thx for sharing! Scaler 3 is really providing a much simpler approach to quickly compose something cool. Regarding MIDI mapping. There was a cool feature in Scaler 2, allowing one to map any MIDI CC message to anything you wanted on Scaler 2. What happened to this awesomely cool function?
Plans to also add this to Scaler 3?
Very respectfully,
Future
Hey @future The MIDI CC functionality was a bit of a hack in S2 so we’ve started a fresh with MIDI Mapping which we plan on expanding later this year. There will be some CC functionality but we are just collating feedback from our live performers and want to get it right this time. Thanks for your patience there.
