Scaler Music has announced an update to its music production plugin that is designed to make it easier to take new directions, solve musical puzzles, and improve your works-in-progress in completely new ways.
Version 3.1.2 of Scaler 3 comes with various refinements.
Our team has been working tirelessly to make Scaler 3 the most powerful and refined music-making tool out there. This release marks a major step toward the maturity of Scaler – something we could never have achieved without the incredible input and support of our community. Thank you for helping us shape Scaler into what it is today. Stay tuned – we’ve got some massive new features coming in Scaler 3.2 and can’t wait to share them with you. In the meantime, please enjoy the refinements in 3.1.2 and keep the feedback coming.
Changes in Scaler v3.1.2
- Bass Follow (Arrange Page): Can now be applied as a global motion.
- Mute Tool: Added mute icon to the Arrange page, making it easier to mute chords and clips (previously only possible via Shift+Click).
