Whenever I try to edit a chord in the new Scaler 2, it won’t let me add any notes at all if I try doing it from the fret board view which I find practical for making sure chords are feasible on guitar.
The only workaround I’ve found for now is to add those notes in the Piano view and revert back to fret board view but it’s quickly a drag.
Using with latest Cakewalk version on Windows 10. Previous Scaler plugin didn’t exhibit this issue. Love the upgrade though! Really has loads more, just hope we can fix this.
I’m new to Scaler 2. Amazing program, well done. I really like it.
Editing or Building chords on the fretboard would be the most natural way for me to work. Guitar is my primary instrument and it’s much easier for me to voice chords, voice lead progressions and add tensions to chords on a fretboard rather than the piano keyboard.
If this is not possible in Scaler 2, but is possible in Scaler 1, am I entitled to use Scaler 1 under the current license? Even while that is a backwards step, I assume chords and progressions built on the Fredboard in Scaler 1 would be able to be used in Scaler 2?
This would not be just convent, but tremendously useful to me.
Anyway, again, beautiful product. I am very pleased with all the features and the creative way it is all presented.
I see the Fretboard, and Tunings but not how to edit a chord with Detect using it. I don’t have a midi guitar controller. I’d like to be able to click the notes on the Fretboard to create chords and scales with Detect. I don’t see any explanation of this in the operations manual.
I’m not sure I understand what you are trying to do exactly. You don’t click on the keyboard or fretboard to detect chords. You drag and drop midi or audio to detect chords. Once you have the chords detected then you edit them in section C.
I see I said “detect” and that was an error. I’m still only a few days into the program but I’ve read the OM, watched the basic videos and worked with Scaler for a few hours.
I wanted to use the Fretboard to Edit Chords. I think I need to spend more time running the program and learning how it works.
I used Detect with the Audio Scaler and my Guitar. Chords type was mostly detected correctly, but not the voicing. I’ll spend more working with the program, but thanks for the reply.
You need to move the chords from the detect section A to Pattern section C where you can edit them, changing voices is easy. Detect area A is only for detecting.
Thanks. It’s getting clearer the more I work with it. That said, one of the very positive reactions I’m having to Scaler is how low the learning curve on this actually is. I was able to edit chords on the fretboard now that I see how it actually works.
I may be missing something, but this still doesn’t work as of July 17 2021.
I select fretboard. I want to make voicings in Open G. But you cannot select a note on the fretboard add create a chord like you could in Scaler 1. The voicing options are still afaik piano roll or staff like inversions, 9ths, 11 etc.
From a fresh session, click on the Fretboard icon, then in Section C click on the “+” in one of the slots to create a new chord.
Click on the fretboard to add notes, your chord is created directly in the Section C.
The other chords visible in the panel are suggestions based on the notes you add.
