It loads fine and works fine for as long as I keep the UI open and I am using it. If I switch to something else and then try to go back to it the UI comes up blank. Every time. The only way to get it to display again is to close the project and re-open it, but the same thing will happen the next time the focus is shifted away from the UI. As I'm sure you can imagine, that gets old very quickly and pretty much kills the mood, so I just can't be bothered with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something you should post on their forum to try to get customer support on instead of giving up on it. It isnt' the most stable VST I've ever used (haven't gotten to test the update yet), but certainly never had problems like that. I think it is an amazing tool.

telecode 101 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 i have yet to get into this. i use Cubase chords pads and logical midi editor mostly for making sense of arranging. does scaler add anything of value that isn't in DAW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Thanks for the heads up on this. I'll take advantage of this since I have Scaler 2 which I have only opened once or twice. Still it's a good deal for me to have this in the toolbox just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure that the get out will be that CW isn't on their list of recommended DAWs, so.......... I did ask PIB the question before buying if the lack of CW on the list meant that it wouldn't work or just that it wasn't tested and received no response to that, so I'm not inclined to have too much faith in their support. I shouldn't have bought it really. The demo version I had wasn't what you'd call stable, but I hoped that the many updates that were made to that initial release would have made it better, but no. It was clearly in a very poor state at release, so given how long they delayed the official release to "get it right" the warning signs were all there really. That'll teach me to be an optimist, lol ! 😀 Edited May 27, 2021 by paulo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't lose the whole plug-in in CW, but the Scaler window is "cut off" in my CW. Same thing in Bitwig. In my case it is related to using high DPI monitor and Windows scaling set above 100% (it works fine at 100%). You might try the following, which fixed MY problem in both CW and Bitwig: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The update *seems* to have fixed it in as much as it's not doing it in a new quick test project I just set up. I don't remember the names of older projects that I tried it in OTOH but I'll seek them out over the weekend and see if it now behaves itself in those.
