I don’t know if MIDIPolysher does that, but you can download it without leaving any data

Looks at likely hoods based only on content we have created internally. I think it’s a wonderful confluence between ML and human activity. We are expanding this!

Yeah, if I understand the theory, that’s exactly what we’re saying: Chord (notes) and In-Scale (notes) (white or black) keylock.
I know that you originally brought up the topic related to improvisation. And this would include improvisation as a function of song creation. So, I’d like to see this improv feature with a “special” recording ability. Unfortunately, it seems to me this would have to be a function of the DAW, and not Scaler. And, that might be my problem. I’d like to loop a section of chords, Lock in the improv keys for recording, then either click a button to keep what I did, or click a button to dump what I did and start over. That way I could build a library of phrases for that chord combo, or lock in one of those phrases I improvised, and continue improvising with the piece.
Regarding viable notes to play, I’ve also been thinking about the circle of 5ths. Again, only if I understand the theory right. If I understand right, when it comes to transitions, this is where the circle of 5ths comes in. Potential chords show up here, and a lot of that is handled by Scaler. In fact, that is (exactly?) what Scaler does (and probably more).
Since the circle has chords that can be used for progressions or transitions based on position of the current chord on the circle, it stands to reason that playable notes may also exist within the chords on the circle based on their proximity and relationship to the currently playing chord.
It’s hard to convert a gut feel and a good ear into theory and skill. lol I really am an amateur! lol
But, to summarize… Yes: Chord and In-Scale (white or black) keysLOCK for improv.
But, does the circle contain playable notes for improv, or only while we transition, or (of the chords previously played and chords to be played) would the “Next Chord’s” notes also be included as playable notes? (ie: In key) I’d think… yes. If yes, how far back (e.g., previous chord notes or future chord notes)? And that is where I might be trying to push it too far, and the answer is “maybe” with too many unknowns.

MiR said KeyLock for Improv with Chord and InScale (white or black) keyLOCKing. So, I was wondering if in addition to the chords & Key for selecting notes whether the circle of 5ths might also be a guide for what keys could keylock bind for an improvisation section.
I keep talking gut and a good ear when it comes to playing, defining myself as an amateur when it comes to music theory. Maybe you know, when it comes to the circle of 5ths are we still just talking about notes that are either in the chord or the key(scale), or is this pushing toward including transitional notes which might only work if we’re transitioning and that would be based on the chord progressions we created with Scaler as the song we’re making.

I think its precisly on this edge (at least in my knowledge), where a Coder with expert Theory and possibly inspired imagination can land these notions.
Is it possible? Is there one perfect way to do it? And what exactly is this “IT” we are trying to do?
(Like you Cyber, its in my Gut and in my Ear but alas my fingers never get the memo)
Whatever the answer to that is, I suspect there maybe a number of defined
Keys-Lock additions that can help further at various times. But again speaking on live improv, Chord Notes + In-Scale notes combo is possibly the most strategic/encompassing/efficient thus far.
??? I’m happy to be shot down on that if I’m wrong.

Joking aside, the Keys-Lock feature (2 lower options) lets you play chords and notes just now
And, to have more notes available, you can also use one Scaler instance to send chords, and another Scaler to send single notes
You need 2 keyboards, or a keyboard that can be split in two
Then you have to select the proper ranges in the 2 Scaler instances: for example, the 1st Scaler in C1 to B2, and the second Scaler in C2 to B3
And, you can even add a 3rd Scaler instance to send other notes in other ranges using a pedalboard (like the Hammond), or running the 3rd Scaler automatically to send e.g. bass notes
Exactly. Thats where I’m at right now. Its a little clumbsy so and all in one (and more advanced) solution would be much better obviously.
send other notes in other ranges using a pedalboard (like the Hammond)
Hey Claudio. Can you expand on that? I’m not sure how that would be done.

Hi, with Scaler you have 3 key-ranges (voice groupings)
C1 to B2
C2 to B3
C3 to B4
so you can use:
your feet on a pedal board for C1 to B2 like Hammond players to play bass-lines
one hand for C2 to B3 for chords (accompaniment)
the other hand for C3 to B4 for solos
And, you can also add more variations sending notes automatically in other key-ranges using Dynamic, Dynamic + 1 octave, and Dynamic + 2 octaves
So, with Scaler, your feet and your hands you have plenty of possibilities
P.S: I never used a pedal board, and I think you can find cheaper ones googling a bit, for example the Korg FC6, but check if they are recognized and work with your DAW, because some MIDI controllers are little pests
I see. Thats very cool.
Well, I’m no player (as we know from previous) and when it comes to performance, I’m all fingers and thumbs so I doubt I’m ever going to bring my feet into the equation. I might even injure myself. 
But I like the way you think.
These kind of ideas are going in the right direction.

I love joking, and there was a time in this forum when many people were hilarious, so feel free to join the Hilarious Band 
Yeah, I’m no piano player either, unless being able to play the base chords (I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, vii°) in C major with my left hand while dinking out a tune on the white keys with my right makes me a piano player! lol 
(PS: Don’t tell my familiy that I can’t play the piano!) lol
Quick question for you or MiR(Steve), I see you both including quotes from the prevous comment that you’re replying to. Uh… How do you do that. When I hit reply, None of the conversation I’m replying to shows up as a quote.
How do I include a quote of the conversation I’m replying to? Thanks guys!
Just select some text, then hit Reply and the quote is automatically done
Just easy as playing the doorbell, the instrument I play better, LOL
