Coming Soon: Scaler 3 - buy Scaler 2 now, get the upgrade free

I haven't seen it hosting audio, but the VST hosting makes it much more "DAW like" (especially if no audio is recorded).

One thing I have not seen yet is, with the DAW integration, will it follow a chord track (specifically changes to it) from the DAW itself. I am foreseeing situations where a DAW project will get chord track changes and not sure if I would then need to drill into Scaler 3 to replicate those. Has anyone seen anything regarding this?

Scaler 3 in now available in your PB account!

https://www.pluginboutique.com/

You have to redeem the code on Scalermusic.com (remember to create an account if you haven't already)

https://scalermusic.com/

NOTE: The serial created at Scale Music is different to the one at PB, you have to redeem the one from PB at ScalerMusic to create your authorisation code at ScalerMusic.

Sownloaded from plugin boutique. Installed this morning, created my Scaler account, but could not authorize using my serial number. Have a ticket open with plugin boutique. 

EDIT: I was trying to use the serial number shown on my account at Plugin Boutique. Had to use the serial number on my newly created account at Scaler Music...

That's weird. Did you redeem it at https://scalermusic.com/ ? 

Note that the authorisation code in your Scaler Music account is different to the redeem code at Pluginboutique.

@ZincT - we were posting at the same time!!

Lol, glad that was it and you got it sorted!

I only suspected that was your problem because it's exactly what I did before I realised it was a different serial number at ScalerMusic 🤦‍♂️ 

I have also updated my post above so that anyone else knows what to do.

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.

It has quite a few sounds built in.  

Even a small sample library of a single instrument is going to be that size or larger these days.

 

I would suggest posting the keyboard binding concept in the Scaler forum.  Seems like an oversight in the stand alone app if it wasn't included.

Scaler 2 wasn't much smaller.

To use the standalone app with your computer keyboard, set "Bind octave" to 4.

Then click on the keyboard at the bottom to set the focus on it and you should be able to play with your keyboard.

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.
