MIDI import issue - need help

I made a very nice performance in Scalar 2, but when I MIDI Capture it and drag it into Logic Pro, then turn DAW Sync Off, the voicings from the DAW sound completely different.

But this is only the first strange thing.

There’s also an odd part where the note voicings are very high, but when I isolate the MIDI notes in question, they’re playing something lower. Meaning I don’t actually know where the higher octave notes are coming from!

Any advice?

Hola Pablo

how do you do the drag?
Using the lasso on chords, or dragging the DRAG button?

Hello Claudio! I’ve been using the drag button!

Check it out!

The voicings are different, but there are also notes that can’t be accounted for in the MIDI roll. Unless I’m going crazy, which is definitely possible.

Thanks! I hope they respond! :slight_smile:

Have you turned off the BIND button after dragging out your midi? Otherwise you are performing a performance.

Hi Davide!

Thanks for the response! I’m not actually using the keyboard at all. I’m just trying to output the performance as played by Scaler 2.

Yes, but I can’t see the right hand side of your screen. Are any of the BIND buttons on?

Hi Davide!

Thanks so much for the response and help! :slight_smile:

No, none of them were on!

So I binded C, but then it plays something different. This is such a gorgeous tool, but even after watching the first 3 tutorial videos I still seem to be confused about how it works. :frowning:

When I press Play in Section C it plays just how I like it! I’m just trying to get that to play from the MIDI roll, so I can edit as needed.

Hi Pablo

The best practice to have help is also uploading the Scaler status here
So Davide and/or others can implement it in their systems, and understand what you were really doing with it

The video is very stylish nowadays, but less informative :wink:

To export the Scaler status, you have to right-click on the blue S icon top left, then select Export

BTW, based on your poster role (seniority in this forum), you can post the state directly here, without dropping it on dropbox
Have you tried it?

You are performing a performance! That is what I meant to say in my earlier post. Turn off Performance once you have dragged the midi out and it will sound the same.

Ah, wonderful! Thanks, Davide! I was hoping it was something subtle. This is such a cool program. To be perfectly honest I still haven’t wrapped my mind around 90% of of it. Thanks so much for the help!

Next time I definitely will! Thank you Claudio! Your kindness was very much appreciated!
