I inserted a virtual instrument track and assigned Scaler 2 to that track.
I open the Scaler 2 panel and choose BASIC PERF 5 and under ARTISTS I choose ABC DU BEATMAKING 2.
I press the PLAY button inside Scaler 2 and a lovely piano piece plays over Eb min9 / Db maj add 13 / Cb maj7 / Bb min7
I want to get this into my DAW but cannot seem to accomplish it.
I tried selecting the chord blocks (#1 in the image) and dragging them into the DAW but they don't sound right at all.
I tried dragging the chord blocks from #1 to #2 (in the image) and then dragging the blocks from #2 to the DAW but they are still wrong.
Then I tried using MIDI CAPTURE in Scaler (#3 in the image). I clicked the MIDI CAPTURE button, played the chords inside Scaler and dragged them to the DAW but again they are wrong.
I tried transposing the imported MIDI but it never sounded right.
Any idea as to how I get this from Scaler 2 to my DAW?
Hi, just as an extra. This week the “School of Synthesis’ the makers of Scaler put out a complete course very cheap course on every aspect of Scaler. I am most of the way through it and highly recommend it to anyone interested at all in Scaler.
Here is what I think is going on. It is a common reported issue. You have used the Scaler engine to create a "performance" based on the chord sequence. Then you captured the combined Midi Performance and the Chords and transferred that midi back to your DAW (onto the same Scaler Track), now Scaler is trying to generate a new midi performance based on the incoming DAW track. That results in a cacophony. So you either need to use two tracks as I show in the video or you need to turn off the performance feature in Scaler.

But I am just guessing here...
Thanks Dan, how do I "turn off the performance feature in Scaler"?
Hope you don’t mind me chiming in. I simply add Scaler to Reaper as an instrument track. Then (assuming I want another instrument to accept input from Scaler) add another instrument. Then in Reaper set a link between the Scaler track and the instrument (in my case AmpleSound). Then turn off the audio on the link leaving the midi.
In Reaper right click on the instrument track record and set Record Output to Record Output(midi). Note I also have Monitor Input set as well as Midi input all MIDI.
Next depending how you want to play. In Scaler under settings Playback set DAW Synch then put the cursor where you want to record and press record (make sure you have the instrument track armed for record). An alternative is to not set DAW Synch and press keys but I find that much harder.. note right click in Scaler on section C play button will also set DAW Synch mode.
Another alternative is to record on the Scaler track and drag where you want it to go.
Hope this makes sense.
Tony

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
