Scaler 2 General Discussion

Thanks everyone for great ideas and advice! Very valuable! I’m a total beginner when it comes to guitar libraries. But I used to play real guitar, both electric and acoustic, but totally stopped about 15 years ago when I moved to an apartment in a century old building with virtually no acoustical insulation. So playing guitar is out of the question! Unfortunately!
Anyway, I will process all the information and see what I come up with. Thanks!

Probably. The patterns in Session sound very good with Scaler.

Well, in case you are nostalgic about the good old days with real guitars you can buy this

Wow! Such an insulated booth is precisely what I need. If I had a bigger apartment and a treasure chest full of gold and precious jewels I would install one tomorrow! That would be just perfect! :grin:

I am using Scaler with NI Strummed Acoustic. I am having trouble getting extended chords to play properly. I have tried various Voice Grouping settings. In general, I am getting notes out of the SA trigger range – either too low, which turn into articulations, or too high, which just do not sound.

If I set Voice Grouping into a single octave within the SA capture range (as Davide recommends above) the range-compressed extended chord does not voice correctly.

I would appreciate any suggestions to work around this please!

Try MIDI Polisher for free :grinning:

Thanks Claudio.

I am working in Logic at present, and so cannot use a VST, but can already constrain the note ranges natively and fold in notes outside the range natively – with a bit of Environment gymnastics. If I find time, I could do this more conveniently by writing a JavaScript for Scripter, but it would be great (for lots of other people) if Scaler could just handle this natively…

Cheers,
Justin

Open Voicing +1 / Open Voicing (depending on root note of scale) works best for me. There are some chords it won’t recognise though.

If I remember well, @davide said they will include customized ranges in future releases
I hope they will do that this year

Only 9 days left this year Claudio but we will do this next year!
