I’ve installed mine and removed UAConnect. They still work! Which is greeeeeaaaaaat! I can finally enjoy my distressor plug!

I finally get to enjoy my plugins! 😎 These plugs will definitely be used in my next album! ❤️

Has anyone tried to remove UA Connect after machine activating the plugins? Are they still working without UA Connect? I don’t mind having it installed, but I don’t want to spawn itself like a zombie behind my back when using a plugin.

Quite a lot of new sounds. IMHO they should have done a symlink for owners of Scaler 2. Now I've ended up with another 1 GB of sounds that I already have. :)) I think I'll have to do the dirty work and just remove all of them with the exception of SlapBass and create sym links to Scaler 2 Sounds for the already existing ones. EDIT: I've removed all folders from Scaler Music/Scaler 3/Sounds except SlapBass and created symlinks to all folders from Plugin Boutique/Scaler 2/Sounds/*. And it works great. So if you already own Scaler 2, and want to save 1GB of space of sounds that you already have, you can do this: Remove all files except SlapBass from Scaler 3/Sounds ls /Users/Shared/Scaler\ Music/Scaler\ 3/Sounds/ | grep -v "SlapBass" | xargs rm -rf Create symlinks from Scaler 2/Sounds to Scaler 3/Sounds ln -s /Users/Shared/Plugin\ Boutique/Scaler2/Sounds/* /Users/Shared/Scaler\ Music/Scaler\ 3/Sounds/ Cheers! @audioschmaudio Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you man! Do you know how to also have full focus while I'm clicking in Scaler interface as well? I need to constantly click the bottom ui keys to be able to play the notes using the keyboard. Oh man! It feels so bad to work with it after learning to play with Scaler 2. In Ableton it constantly plays the “main track in Scaler 3” even if the track is disabled in Ableton. I’m used to extract a few chords and it’s not working anymore the same, and also, I missed clicked a new session and lost all the chords and my custom chord progression. Undo didn’t brig the old session back. I’m kind of disappointed atm, but I know they’ll fix these bugs and Scaler will get better and better.

Holy moly! 1.3 GB. This is like half of FL Studio lol Edit: If the dev looks this up: please please please, make the standalone work with a computer keyboard, like Ableton would do it with the VST. What keys or combination of keys am I supposed to press to just hit the chords with ASDFGHJKL without having to go into settings or reading the manual. Scaler 3 is a beast but first interaction without a midi keyboard around, it failed to help transposing the rhythms I have in my head.

The deal is available on Plugin Boutique as well: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/66-Music-Courses/78-Video-Courses/10445-Scaler-2-Official-Course

Interesting. I was actually interested to extend the “one octave” midi trigger space for chords in Scaler 2. I think this is exactly why I didn’t found the midi trigger functionality, cause I remember pressing those squares on the right side to enable midi trigger for chords, but I was in another octave. But then, these days I’ve played a little with it and I totally get it why they did it this way. You can actually play midi chords and simple melody/bass notes to harmonize the chords, which IMHO is a much better option then playing chords only. I would love the Scaler team to rebuild the Scaler app for iOS to be available on iPhones as well, and to let us create midi files stored in our iCloud drive using a Screen full of chord pads. This way I’ll have only one music theory tool in my arsenal to learn and to perfect myself for. 😌 IMHO on mobile, being on the go, you need something that already has the functionality without having to connect an external midi keyboard. A screen full of chord pads with midi notes recorder to a midi file would be just enough to generate tons of ideas for future projects, while on the go, when creativity strikes out of nowhere.

Thanks man! At some point I wanted to get the official course when was at its lowest price but every time I get a course it ends up unwatched. I usually know what I’m looking for and just search in the interface, but that hidden gem in Scaler 2 was not at all intuitive. I bet the manual would tell me about the functionality but I don’t really have time to learn each new plugin functionality or knobs. Too much information… Thanks for the free resource! I’ll definitely scan them! I’m just super happy that I finally have a music theory midi tool. I used my mobile phone in some other apps and recorded the screen while I’ve played the chords, then digitized that in Ableton. This is a much much much simpler workflow!

That's very close to what I've paid for v2 on KVR

I used Scaler 2 the wrong way! Omg! Thanks so much for sharing this! ❤️

I’m curious if in the new version you can map chords to midi keys. Couldn’t find a way to do it in v2, or I don’t really know Scaler enough. Does anyone knows if v2 or v3 supports this?

I have the same question. I’ve got it via KVR using a Plugin Boutique transfer.

Too bad it expired… I’m kind of late at the party Would have snitched this!

What a weird way to treat your customers. The ones who got them for free can activate the plugins on their machines and use them offline, while the customers who paid for them, can only activate them using cloud activation and have to be always online. It happened to me with the past free offer for Pure Plate Reverb, and I’m never going to buy any other UAD plugin until I have the ones I’ve bought available for machine activation like all these freebies. I’ll always choose the machine activation instead of the 10% coupon.

I mean, I don’t mind offering them for free as marketing hooks, but imho UAD and other companies should respect their customers and offer them the same deals. If you offer free stuff machine unlockable to new members, give your current customers the same options, even if they already have the cloud unlockable version. The same applied a few weeks ago when KV331, offered the Synthmaster 2 Player + 3 preset packs for $5, then it sent to current customers a $10 gift coupon to get 2 free packs. Old customers ended up with 2 packs, new members ended up with 5 packs. And they they are wondering why no one buys from them again… Customer retention sucks. Nasty!

Now I kind of regret buying it.

Looks like Pure Plate is Cloud only, at least on my side. I’ve got the Essentials and won’t give the ilok machine activation code as gift. Did it work for you this Pure Plate gift as machine authorization in ilok?

Still doesn’t work. Probably will get it FREE on PB with a serial number that would register in ilok as activation on device in the near future, if and only if. Maybe this one is only a cloud only activation, which I already have.

I don’t even get the email with the serial. It might work but the email with the serial didn’t arrived.

You can get it binded to your device in ilok instead of authorizing it in the cloud with an always online collection.

Exactly! Did the same with Pultec Collection And Galaxy Delay. But now I keep on trying to get this gift without receiving it.

I’m not getting it. I already have the essentials bundle, but I was expecting a serial to be able to authorize my computer in ilok and not cloud.

So they now are offering UAD Oxide Tape Recorder as a free option. Does anyone know if I’ll register this one with my UAD profile if ilok will register it with my machine instead of with cloud? I already have it from UAD Essentials bundle, but I rarely use UAD plugins because of always having to be online. And I’ve seen with past free offerings, that a second serial registered will offer the option to activate in ilok on machine instead of using cloud activation and having to be always online.

Laughing but if that would come with all the future updates, the price would be insane!
