What makes this tool so valuable is that anyone can create harmony with it, even without any knowledge of music theory. And professional musicians will appreciate the speed with which they can create and test various chord progressions, including modulations, related chords, substitute dominants, etc. What's new Scale 3? Compared to the previous version, virtually every aspect has been expanded and improved. Scaler 3 can run as a standalone application, but can also be run as a plug-in in any DAW. What's more, the third version scans your system not only for plug-in instruments but also for virtual effects when you first launch it. Chord progressions you create can be played in sync with your DAW using the built-in sequencer, but you can also play individual chords using the keyboard when DAW sync is disconnected. Alternatively, we can drag and drop single chords or entire chord sequences into your DAW. Chords can be played in various inversions, with various extensions, but also with the use of patterns. So Scaler 3 is a bit like a DAW within a DAW, if we add the ability to create bass lines, melodies, etc. In my opinion, each tool is valuable to the extent that it solves a specific problem, so instead of discussing individual program functions, in this video I will present several different scenarios and applications. The first page of the interface, called the chord browser, is divided between sections A, B and C. The fastest way to create harmony in a song? In section A, select your favorite genre and one of the available progressions. Then click on the paperclip symbol to assign the keys in the middle octave to trigger chords. In section B, you'll get a suggestion of the scale that best suits your selected chord progression, along with a list of diatonic chords. Usually the first chord is the tonal center, but it doesn't have to be this way. On the list you will often see scales composed of the same notes, but in different keys and giving a completely different playing experience. The C section is associated with the main sequencer. You can move/copy any chord sequences to it. But the greatest power is in the lower section. I don't know if you've noticed, but so far chords have been built from the first step and played in a basic inversion. One of the biggest advantages of Scaler 3 is the automatic selection of voicings. In this section you will also find a lot of perfomative tools, including: patterns. By default, Scaler 3 syncs with your DAW. Everything you save in the C Main Track section will be played in full synchronization with your arrangement. When writing a song, you can start with so-called Common Progressions. It is a collection of patterns that are very common in pop and popular music. After selecting one of them and setting the key, section B will display a scale matching the given progression and a set of diatonic chords that you can use to expand the progression or create a new one. You can immediately replace them with more complex chords. However, if you already know something about music theory, you probably already know that adding a ninth and an eleventh to each chord does not always make it sound good. Extensions must be used carefully. Therefore, it is better to go to the Create Tab to the Colors section to better select complex chords. You can get even more complex harmony in the Modal Interchange or Mediants tabs. However, you must remember that the melody sounds match the new chords. In the Explore tab you will find the sets of chords typically found in specific genres. What's more, you can define the character of the chords in each of the separated styles. Light allows you to create more joyful, energetic progressions, dark seems to give a slightly more serious, deeper sound, and neutral is an intermediate setting.
