I haven’t still tested this option because I am still polyshing my guitars, but I’ll try Scaledrums a day or another
Now, coming to the “The Scaler Forum Band” project I hope I can go on board despite I gained 1,75 bucks selling streamings, something that makes me a professional
BTW, why not calling it the Sgt. Scaler’s Lonely Hearts Forum Band?
If you have a pad based sampler (Impact XT in Studio One), one of the cool things is that you can watch your pattern play and then swap sounds as needed.
For those just tuning in, if you drive your drum synth or sampler with different Scaler PERFORM modes (A), you can tune the notes and timing in the pattern area (B) and (in the case of Impact XT) watch and adjust the samples in real time until you get a groove you like. Don’t forget to mess with the Playback speed and Humanize w/in in the PERFORM toolbar. The more complicated the chord (or note sequence) you are playing, the more they impact more than just tempo and groove. Not a “real” drum machine for sure, but a surprising amount of functionality and a great way to drive tuned percussion (More on this late)
So many Scaler creative paths…so little wine in my cellar.
I was actually somewhat serious. I’ve been looking for a collaboration with non-expert musicians, to learn & experiment together without attitude and snobbery. All the better when including tech tools for making music without judgment whether that is “real music”. Perhaps we should start a new, focused, discussion thread for this?
Ha ha I, the undersigned, lelek hereby promise that from this time forward I shall not ask people (including but not limited to @ClaudioPorcellana) to make videos of the awsome stuff they do.
Sounds a little like a Tibetan monastery meets the London Underground. I like the panning. Can you please provide a detailed description of how you created this…preferably using complicated animated GIFs, inspiring annotated screen captures and profound text passages. What ever you do however, please don’t create a video!
I just retrieved the Ableton Live project from the garbage bin because I didn’t ever believed somebody wanted to know…
Well, I’ll find a way to explain it, but it’s very simple
You only need the Scaler’s xml above, and the instruments I used
The Scaler’s pattern was found clicking buttons randomly
This was one of the most creative ideas I have seen in years.
I always have trouble with rhythmic base and using Scaler makes it very easy to me too have at least a “not bad” result.
I tried another day, randomly, and found it interesting. So, I’ll spend some time playing with Scaler to develop some rhythms because I believe this has a lot of potential.
