sorry for the extremely delayed response, i made a short video showing the transposing bug i found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss-NlgQhjeY
Hi @hiimlarry whilst I don’t hear any audio in your video aside from a buzz of some kind, it does appear that chords are not being transposed in semi-tones as they are supposed to.
Would you mind please confirming that you have installed the latest public release of Scaler 2.9.1 from Plugin Boutique? Also does this happen with a fresh instance of Scaler? Or after selecting ‘Clear State’ from the Scaler menu?
I cannot recreate this using Scaler 2.9.1 and Pro Tools 2024.6. My suggestion would be to try uninstalling and reinstalling Scaler with the latest installer. And if you did install the private beta of 2.9.1 be sure to delete the additional AAX folder as mentioned in the above post if it exists. Again making sure there is nothing else in that folder besides Pro Tools.
Then please let us know here if you keep having this issue.
yeah, this is new version from plugin boutique. i couldn’t find the AAX folder mentioned above, looked and only saw the 2.9.1 from the beta released (which i deleted) and performed clean install.
here’s a new video with a little more context. https://youtu.be/rF55yKi37uQ
just realized it only happens after detecting scale, (the detected scale in the video is Gb Major)
i found a work around by individually adjusting the chord’s semitones in the edit “chord” section (although the semitone counter on this feature doesn’t reset.) https://youtu.be/oXmp8D1Vp-k
edit*** also one more referring to my original post with the voice grouping bug. it plays an F#major as opposed to the intended G major chord when voice grouping in enabled. https://youtu.be/vTC7WdSWUKA
in reference to all of these it seems to only do these bugs occasionally when certain chords are being used, hopefully this isn’t too confusing but i suspect it might have something to do with the sharps and flats of F#/Gb and A#/Bb, because they dont have Fb and B# it might be getting mixed up and not taking them into account.
Hi @hiimlarry apologies I’ve moved these messages to a new thread as this does seem to be separate to the crashes and CPU issues people were seeing with Scaler 2 prior to the 2.9.1 update, and we’d like to monitor those cases independently.
Unfortunately I’m unable to replicate any of the issues you’re seeing with Scaler in Pro Tools. Transposing is working correctly regardless of context and Voice Grouping is not affecting the chord being played. So this doesn’t seem to be a Scaler 2 bug, but most likely something specific to your Scaler 2 install or usage.
Are you sure there are no other plugins or Pro Tools functions active elsewhere in your Pro Tools session that could be impacting this? If you have somewhere like DropBox you can upload to share your Scaler 2 State .xml file, I can load that on our Pro Tools Mac and see if I can replicate. And/or can you share your whole Pro Tools Session file?
If you have another DAW installed it could be useful to check Scaler’s behaviour there as well to rule check if it is something specific to Pro Tools.
