Browse, Create, Arrange.

  • Redesigned UX/UI Scaler 3 has been fully redesigned to remain instantly familiar to Scaler 2 users, while providing a streamlined experience for newcomers. The interface is organized into three main pages: Browse, Create, and Arrange.
  • Standalone App Scaler 3 can now run as a standalone app in addition to a plugin within any DAW, offering a complete and flexible songwriting tool.
  • Multi-Lane Timeline The Arrange page now includes a timeline-based layout with dedicated lanes for chords, melody, bass, and phrases. Each lane is synchronized with the main chord track, and clips are fully adjustable with independent control per lane or clip.
  • Explore Page Discover a Harmonic Universe of chords untied to any specific scale. Categorized by genre and feel (e.g., Dark, Bright, Neutral), the Explore Page suggests compatible and experimental chord progressions, unlocking new paths for unique and bold harmonic structures.
  • Colors Page Explore a comprehensive view of all chord voicings and harmonic alternatives in a single, unified page. Instantly access parallel and relative chords, as well as diverse voicing and substitution options, to add expressivity and creative flexibility to your compositions.
  • Motions Scaler’s beloved Phrases, Performances, Melodies, and Basslines are reimagined as Motions, now with mood-based tags for easier browsing. Scaler 3 introduces hundreds of new Motions crafted by professional musicians, including the all- new Passages Motion.
  • Note Editing & Harmonic Modifiers A comprehensive note editing matrix allows users to customize or create new Motions. MIDI lanes can be set to follow or run independently of Chord Tracks, with new Harmonic Modifiers and Motion Controls to adjust note range, density, pitch, and clip rotation – all within the chosen scale.
  • Expanded Content Scaler 3 offers a significant content expansion, including new Chord Sets, Harmonic Universes, Motions, and Scales, contributed by samplify studio and a network of top-tier artists.
