Hi @davidec Thank you for taking the time to consider the comments I have made. Thank you.

Yes Yes, MIDI. I do understand that there are limitations to identifying a scale due to not enough information, but the program could be improved to elicit that information from the musician using it. A challenge-response function such as "add a melody you hear in your head to the chords" or add some "chords to the melody." These are the kinds of questions a learned mentor might ask if they were helping you evolve as a musician. Of course, the holy grail would be an app that could recognize and identify modulations. That idea seems to be lying over the horizon and out of sight of these sorts of helper apps. What I don't understand is leaving the application to function as is while piling on a bunch of goober bloat in the extra content folder. It seems like it is becoming just another variant of new and improved creativity in a bottle. It's starting to remind me of the early 2000's SONAR dev shell game paradigm. .

Sadly, Scaler seems to be devolving towards a focus on promising instant song creation rather than serious chord melody analysis. I use it by feeding it chord progressions that I have "composed" by ear, a task which was purportedly Scaler's purpose. But, after it does its best job at analysis, I still have to guess which one of its guesses most closely describes the scale hidden within the movement of the chords I have supplied. I don't need an endless collection of arpeggios, bass lines, beats, etc. to lay on top of my progression. I already hear those in my head. I wanted to use Scaler as a fast and convenient way to identify scales and suitable harmonies, and it has not proven to be especially good at that. I expected more, but I have found that each update has accustomed me to receiving less.

I'm glad I bought the full bundle, plus Timeless, for $498 back on 07/19/2013. I've enjoyed over a decade of pleasure using these plugins. That is 3931 days to date, or 12.668532180106843042482828796744 pennies per day for you penny pinchers. I think I am going to get R2 while its 58% off and probably going to upgrade to Volcano 3 while it's 75.5% off.

Thank you for taking the time to make and post the screen shot. Thank you.

Screen Shots or it didn't happen. Let's see that new improved UI. .
