This is awesome. I was wondering, could you drag the chords from Scaler straight onto the chord track OR drag the chords from Scaler onto the track itself and then drag the chords from the track to the chord track? I''m a Studio One user and you can do that with its chord track. If it works in Logic, it would be easier than having to click the chords in the chord track one by one, press tab, click the chord in Scaler etc. Awesome that Logic has a chord track now though. I love that feature.

@mable76 Ай бұрын

I was waiting for a chord track in Logic that can be controlled by Scaler for so long, but I was hoping it would be a little more intuitive. It could be easily if Logic allowed drag and drop from a MIDI track to the chord track (or from the Scaler plug-in directly :) And if it was also possible to assign instrument tracks and audio tracks to the chord track instead of just copying static chords on top of your existing MIDI pattern. It is already pretty cool, but could be a lot more powerful and I hope it will be with one of the next updates as this is nothing magical. Especially compared to what is already possible now.

@BezaleelIsrael Ай бұрын

the tab key function did not work for me. is that in the default keyboard settings? or is that custom? what key function is tab for you sir?

@SchoolofSynthesis Ай бұрын

Just the tab key on your Mac keyboard. Maybe try and ensure Logic is in focus (click on the background somewhere) and make sure you are on the chord track. Follow Davide's video closely should be no problem. Hope that helps.

@FloBorge Ай бұрын

There is a slightly faster way to enter the chords from Scaler into the Chord Track, based on that video (not mine): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7Bno7eDnM-vd40.html 1. Drag and drop Scaler chords onto an empty instrument track 2. Create an instrument track and set it to Internal Mini In to the track from 1) 3. Click the midi input on the chord track (like in this video) 4. Play your song and press tab to move to the next chord as soon as the Chord track detected the first chord Note, make sure to keep the chord track window open for this to work. :)

@SchoolofSynthesis Ай бұрын

Interesting and thanks for sharing but to be fair it's apples and pairs with the method in our video. If you are using Scaler our method doesn't require the creation of a superfluous chord track. Still there are times where your method would work great!

For those hating on these new tools for making music, please consider that this has been going on for decades. This dread was aimed at the Mellotron, synthesizers, drum machines, an sequencers to name a few. “It’s the end of self expression and musicians are being replaced by technology! “ All art is about making choices, and these tools give everyone more options. I would argue that music goes stale with out new instruments and tools. There will be people that just hit play and crank out generic uninspired music, but there are people who do that every day on “real” instruments. I personally am inspired to push the boundaries of what can be done with these tools. Think out side of the box. Think Aphex Twin, J Dilla, The Beatles, DJ Kool Herc, Prince, Brian Eno, Wendy Carlos, Imogen Heap………

Brian Eno and the like didn’t have tools that were friendly to their imaginations. Unintuitive approaches are sometimes necessary to force an instrument to create what the imagination hears. Think of the snare drum sample in the Fine Young Cannibals’ “She Drives Me Crazy”. That was an endeavor to make. I think scaler is primarily for people who want to make music that sounds like music they are used to hearing.
