Internal sounds should be optional, so you shouldn't need to download them at all, or for every update. I have added this to the Feature Requests part of the Scaler forum. https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/please-make-internal-sounds-optional/20601 Edited March 29 by ZincT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think and alternative path option exists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think and alternative path option exists. Yes, I think I left it selected when I installed just to see if the sounds had changed and were any good, thinking that I would move/delete them later. In fact, I have now discovered that you can delete the sounds and Scaler 3 doesn't mind - it just ignores the missing ones and you hear silence instead. So I have left Felt Piano there plus a few of the other category sounds which are okay (one bass, pad sound etc). I had also forgotten, but just checked, that they did implement a user selectable location for the sounds in Scaler 2 under preferences. For Scaler 3 they are located here in Windows C:\Users\Public\Documents\Scaler Music\Scaler 3\Sounds Edited March 29 by ZincT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My solution these days since I also game is have a 1TB OS drive. It's a lot easier. I even had some overhear despite even games are now bloated.

Salvatore Sorice Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I think Scaler 3 (and going forward) has lots of potential, but there is a lot of room for improvement. One thing that drives me CRAZY is that the GUI is NOT resizable vertically and horizontally (only proportionately). So much wasted space and unnecessary scrolling! Here's an example from a post I made on the Scaler Forums. You can see the entire thread here: https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/scaler-3-gui-settings/19813 Kudos to the team at Scaler Music - great job on Scaler 3! Look forward to 3.1 and more (and a much-improved GUI!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Scaler 3.0.1 is out. Download from your ScalerMusic account. PB was still showing v3.0.0 when I just checked but it might be updated by the time you check. I can report that the standalone version is now finding my 3rd party plugins. ✔️ Here's a mini change log for this "silent" update. NEW Chord Panel Display (shows notes and chords on MIDI input) FIX Bound area not reverting to white keys when turning of Keys Lock | Chord Notes/Extensions/Scales Profile FIX Crash when dragging multiple chords to Sketch Page when chords extend past row limit FIX Crash when adjusting velocity of individual notes with multiple chord clips selected. Improves stability Edited March 31 by ZincT 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy1 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 So I guess the only reasons to add the sounds is if you are using stand alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they also have value when running in a DAW. It does take compute power to pull up VSTs within Scaler (or the daw) and most VSTi are not just load it up and it is right on the sound you want, therefore I think there is some use to the fact that a quick preview using the built in sounds isn't a bad thing to have. All depends on the workflow. That said not having to route VSTi in the daw for scaler to control is going to be a game changer and makes it much more likely to not need the internal sounds for a preview. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
