About Scaler only plays BASS root tone

Hey Swing

Fairly big topics but here are some starting points:

Multi Voice Output. (Sorry I, I wrote Multi Voice Option above) This new feature in 2.7 gives us the ability to have Scaler play a single note from a chord. Apparently it can be a problem for some DAWS due to routing issues but as a Studio One user, I’ve had no issues and use it all the time.

Unison Chords - Unison chords are single note chords. Here are 3 ways to create them:

  1. You can create them by hand using the chord editor and removing all other notes,
  2. You can play notes while in DETECT mode, right click on the captured notes and convert them to Unison Chords. Now you can drag them to your progression.
  3. You can turn on one of Scalers Bass Performances, fill a progression with chords, drag them out of Scaler, (do not drop) and then then back in and drop. This will do a Performance Detect and will likely give some single notes in Section A. You can get a lot of notes here and some have different voicings, but if you select all and right click you have some tools to work with. (follow with steps in option 2 above)

Good luck
