Music Theory Workstation Plugin Update

Newly-released Scaler 3.1, the first major update to Scaler since the launch of version 3.0 in March, is said by its designers to improve the world's favourite music theory workstation plugin with new synchronisation features, better ways to work with chords and MIDI, and many other improvements in the way Scaler connects. Here's the details direct from the company...

New Additions Since Scaler 3.0

• Using Live Sync, users keep the same Main Track chords between a 'Leader' and a 'Follower' instance of Scaler 3.
• A new motion, Bass Follow, makes it easy to create a bass track that follows the lowest note of your chord. There are now also custom folders for chord sets. With abilities like Pinch to Zoom and Snap to Any Position, Scaler is easier to use and easier to navigate, especially for composers working on long projects.
• The Chord Panel Display shows input chords as they're played, and there's Drag and Drop Detection for both MIDI and audio. There's more fluid arrangement for chords in the Main Track, with more intuitive resizing and moving of chords, and muting for multiple chords.
• Scaler 3.1 supports custom folder paths for hosting VST plugins, and supports ASIO drivers for Windows users. User folders for chord sets can be created, renamed and deleted, and chord sets can be imported. The MIDI note editor has better support for moving and creating 16th notes. Try out the new Select All option in the 'three dots' menu to select all the chords at once.
