With regard to the latter, a piano, guitars, strings and several sampled synth sounds are built in for scratch work, so you can quickly get a chord progression together for export as a MIDI file entirely within it. Obviously, though, the idea is to trigger other instruments via Scaler, and how this is set up depends on the host DAW. For VST hosts, Scaler loads as an instrument plugin onto a MIDI track, the output of which is sent to a second track (hosting the target instrument) using the DAWs routing system. For Audio Unit hosts (ie, Logic Pro), the included ScalerControl MIDI effect plugin is loaded up instead. This is identical to the regular Scaler, but sits in front of the target instrument on the same track, outputting MIDI directly to it. Its certainly the more elegant of the two approaches, although it only captures the raw triggering notes to the track, not the chords output by the plugin.New Features in Version 1.840 New Chord Sets: R&B, Synthwave & New Artists Chord Sets3 New Synth Sounds: Dusty Nostalgia, HeavyHitter & SqSaw3 New Pads Sounds: DreamOn, SteelyEssence & WidePad5 New Arpeggio modes: Up/Down Repeat, Down/Up, Down/Up Repeat, Doubled Up, Doubled DownRandom strumming mode: Randomly switch between strumming up and down.Copy/Paste Voicing: Extract the voicing of any chord and apply it onto another chord to match the number of voices and octave at which it will playback.Voicing Lock: Preview any chord using one of 2 modes:Dynamic Grouping: Play chords within the same area of the keyboard to maximise compatibility by automatically choosing voices and inversions.Extracted Voicing: Preview any chord in Scaler with the last voicing you extracted.New Arpeggio Note Length: Perform Arpeggio in full, half and quarter notes to emulate a staccato effectBug fixes and performance improvements
