How to Capture Scaler Chords in Logic Pro X - Scaler Direct MIDI Out in Logic

Scaler 2 Tutorials

I load a chord set and start playing chord progressions, example:
22%20PM

When I have something I like I hit record on Logic, the region looks like this:
45%20PM

All good until I want to see the chord’s actual MIDI notes in my region. Now I have to drag chosen chords to make a new chord set and use the export MIDI button to drag MIDI file to my region:
00%20PM

This gives me all chord notes but that’s not my performance, its all same length. I have to work a lot with this to get that to something I performed.:

Solution: MIDI FX Freeze Plugin (Free)

Record your performance with Scalar (like before) then just load this MIDI FX Plugin under Scaler:
48%20PM

Hit record button on the plugin and play the performance:
45%20PM

This will capture MIDI of performance that you can drag to region & you get this:
49%20PM

This video from developer shows how it works (shown with Logic’s Chord Trigger MIDI FX in this)

That looks like a cool little plug. Thank you! I’m downloading it now. Of course you can use the External Instrument in Logic to record any MIDI FX plugin like Scaler without the use of any third party plug:

UPDATE:
There are two ways to capture Midi Out from Logic’s Midi FX:

  1. Set up an External Instrument to capture:
