Hi Davide and everyone,
This is my first post here. After 15 years, I’m back to making music and I’ve completed my first orchestral composition with some help from Scaler 2.
First of all, I have a personal curiosity, Davide: your name sounds Italian to me. Are you Italian or of Italian descent? Sorry for the personal question.
Now, back to my request: I have fallen in love with Messiaen’s scales invention and music. In this video, Rick Beato (another Italian?) showcases the beautiful sounds of some of Olivier Messiaen’s modes:
So, I double-checked the scales available in Scaler 2, and to my surprise, I didn’t find even the first mode (the whole tone scale), famously used by Debussy, among others ?!
My proposal is to add of course ALL Olivier Messiaen Modes.
This request matches in part with this one: Scaler2 - Add/Import Custom User Scales
My request might seem a bit niche, because these modes sound pretty atonal and are outside common tonality. Nevertheless, I think these scales allow for creative and amazing modulations, a topic that Scaler 2 already covers. This could be very useful for composers working in cinematic/neoclassical music.
Last but not least, I’d also like to ask for support for the chromatic scale. In general, even though I know Scaler 2’s main audience might be in pop mainstream music, I kindly ask you to consider also including elements related to classical modern music.
Thanks a lot for this amazing software.
BTW, glad to know other user thoughts / suggestions of any sw could help to build progressions using Messiens’s modes.
Thanks
Giorgio (from Genova, Italy)
