Plugin Boutique Scaler 2 Full Keygen Free Download
Download Scaler is a unique and inspiring MIDI effect that makes discovering chords and progressions intuitive and fun! With note detection, scale selection, and chord suggestions, Scaler is a comprehensive and user-friendly tool that helps anyone create better music.
As the first of its kind, Scaler can identify the key and scale you’re using and suggest chords that match your music, or it can create a song from scratch by providing a set of starting chords from unexplored keys. With an onboard library of over 2,000 scales and modes, including genre and artist presets, there’s more than enough to keep the creativity flowing.
Once you’ve identified a scale, Scaler displays basic diatonic chords for you to explore, and lets you go further with dozens of chord variations and voicings to try. Music theory enthusiasts can also gain insights into the harmonic function of each chord.
Are you ready to start progressing? Simply drag and drop chords into Scaler’s sequencer, adjust octaves and inversions, edit voicings, and record or drag the progression into your DAW.

How Does It Work?
Scaler is an additional tool (plugin) capable of producing both MIDI and audio output. For the latter, a piano, guitar, strings, and several sampled synthesizer sounds are included for initial work, allowing you to quickly compose chord progressions that can be exported as MIDI files directly within the plugin.
Of course, the main idea is to trigger other instruments through Scaler, and the setup depends on the host DAW. For VST hosts, Scaler is loaded as an instrument plugin onto a MIDI track, with its output routed to a second track (which runs the target instrument) using the DAW’s routing system.
For Audio Unit hosts (z.B., Logic Pro), the included ScalerControl MIDI effect plugin is loaded instead. This is identical to the regular Scaler but is placed in front of the target instrument on the same track, directly outputting MIDI to it. This is clearly the more elegant approach of the two, although it only records the raw trigger notes onto the track, not the chords generated by the plugin.
