Dumb Midi/Scaler 2 question

[timboalogo]

Hi all (again),

So I'm still playing with Scaler 2. It's a VSTi that, among other things, is supposed to let you set up a bunch of chords in it (without copying to a MIDI track) and press play in the DAW and the chords play. All of this without copying the track to the MIDI track.

My problem is that if I press play in Cakewalk with say 4 measures set to go in Scaler, the first chord chimes out but nothing else is heard. If I press the play button in Scaler, the 4 measures worth of chords play.

Is there a setting I need to change in CbB to make this happen? i.e. press play when there is nothing else going on in the DAW (no audio, no other VSTis playing midi) and Scaler would play? If it does, I think Scaler would be a really useful piece of software to keep learning.

Thanks to Scook, who probably be the first to answer!,

PS I forgot to say that the workaround I've found is to record a blank audio track which forces CbB to play and thusly makes Scaler play as well ...

Do you have scaler 2 synced to CbB? If not right click on the button you press in scaler 2 to play.

[timboalogo]

Yes, it's synced. Does that mean that it works for you?

[rsinger]

Yes, it works for me.

[timboalogo]

Then I'm an idiot!

If there is nothing else in the project, make sure Stop at Project End is disabled in the Track View > Options menu. This will let the engine run even though there is no data in any of the tracks.

Sorry, it just crashed my CbB, let me try.

Lordy Scook, you've done it again! 

Thanks folks,

Timbo

Oh, yeah that's not enabled in mine ...
