A number of users on the Scaler forum (https://forum.scalerplugin.com/) use EZKeys and EZBass wih Scaler (see https://forum.scalerplugin.com/t/scaler-2-toontracks-ezkeys-ezbass-and-ezdrums-3/11341 in the Scaler Tutorials Category). My understanding is that they are two different but possibly complementary products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) my take on the reasons for buying Scaler is a bit different...... We (mostly!) spend lots of money on different sample sets - 101 virtual pianos - 1001 different compressor plugins - 2001 different softsynths. The same big companies putting out more and more of the same old stuff. In most cases, zero innovation. Scaler is doing something different and providing a useful and interesting composition tool. It's a small developer - providing frequent updates - and doing something differently - and (in the UK) only £39. What's not to like ? If you can afford it then I can't see a decent reason not to buy it (FWIW you could substitute UNIFY for scaler and the same would be true) Edited December 23, 2022 by simon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. CW isn't on their list of supported DAW's (or at least wasn't last time I looked) so I guess there's a reason for that. In my experience PIB support is somewhat less than great so I can't be bothered. I just like to moan about it when people on a CW forum say that there's no reason not to like it. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although CW is not on the list of supported DAWs there are Cakewalk users on the forum. So it can't be all bad. I suggest you raise the issue on the Scaler forum.

Otherwise a fantastic plugin with a great track record of frequent and free updates! Maybe they will get bought up by Soundwide or Image Line and get the update checks right?
