Dragging a single chord with an expression ON now exports the duration of a single chord instead of the duration of the whole pattern.

This gets so much love and development it’s hard to keep up. I find if I’ve not used it for a while, I need to invest some time and go back to basics, then learn the new stuff. The support via video tutorials is also second to none. Really excellent plugin.

Yeah, it's kind of like Cakewalk in that sense.

Thanks for the update on this update.

Now all I need to do is update myself.

The BEST bang for the buck and ease of use for a MIDI generator- bar none.  Rapid Composer has 10x the capability, but a learning curve to match.

Scaler gave me the courage to explore Rapid Composer.  Demo got me hooked so I grabbed the RC Sept sale.

Skipped 2. Waiting for 3.

Did someone post this video here? Or did I find it on my own? I don't remember anymore.

Also, Rapid Composer 33% off right now.  EDIT: That's probably what you meant by September sale Steve. Doh!

I posted links to a couple reMIDI + Scaler videos in the reMIDI thread. If you own one of them, it's worth checking out the other as well:

Exactly.  I haven't kept up either.

From a brief viewing of the video, it appears that you can key lock to the chords.  I wonder if you can also lock to scales?  This is very similar to Cubase's MIDI input transform.

Scaler can make any DAW a powerful composition tool.

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is "yes" you can key lock to scales and you can do so in a few different ways.

Did you notice that you can now direct where the Samples will be installed?
This is the first installer that allowed that; right?

I had a mklink setup for Scaler.
I don't put samples on the C drive.

"We don't need no stinkin' badges!"
And I don't need samples cluttering up my OS drive. keep it lean, mean & clean; just sayin'...
