A NOTE for Livingedge: simply jump to the the end because this post is TLDR 
I think I’ll use Scaler the proper way in this new year, as asking it doing anything but the coffee was only a matter of testing its possibilities, but I’ve understood that I have to study deeper the plugins I have, because they are specialized tools, so better suited to do certain things
for example, with this video I found that I always used AAS Strum-GS the worst way… 
so Scaler will become again the tool that gives inspiration and suggestions, no more the one-man-band, but the metal riff was ongoing, so here is the last mad test 
I started with this Scaler series of chords Scaler metal riff.xml (7.3 KB)
now, again, what’s the link between bossanova and metal? 
only the maddest composer ever can venture such insane liaison LOL
the first step is recording the riff using those 4 chords, and my preferred way is not the Section C, but just tickling the ivories 
here is the starting series Scaler metal riff.mid (238 Bytes)
to avoid unwanted pattern changes in Strum-GS I need the MIDI Polysher instance before the Strum-GS, in a way that Scaler feeds the MIDI Polysher and MIDI Polysher feeds Strum-GS; Strum-GS must be in the “Loop mode” now
here you see the recorded riff
now it’s time to use what I learned in that video
I simply dragged and dropped all available loops (there are 7)
then I looped the riff part, and dropped all the loops, ine a time, into the looped area until I found the series of loops I liked more
the furher step involves changing the IN/OUT of Strum GS so that the MIDI Polysher feeds the chords, and Strum GS now in “Guitar mode” manages the articulations, and here is the IN/OUT setup
this (new to me) way to use Strum-GS is amazing because you can edit chords into the MIDI Polysher track, or you can edit articulations in the Strum-GS track, but in either way changes are reflected real-time in the riff played by Strum-GS with all articulations
in the next step I edited the riff, and here is the MIDI Polysher riff after many changes

I then completed the song with drums and bass, then a pinch of O3 and a teaspoon of neutrons
well, if you have nerve enough, listen it
sǝןpooʇ 
I have tons of things to understand and learns…
