Thank you for visiting.
If you're reading this article, I imagine you're like me and have the same concern that “you're not good at coding.”
So, as someone who can't code as desired, I'd like to share my thoughts on using “Scaler 2”.
You can purchase it here.
What is “Scaler 2” plugin?
“Scaler 2” is a plugin that falls under the category of “composition assistance software.”
I'll leave the basic information to other websites, but just in case, I'll include an introduction video.
Detecting chords from MIDI and audio files
Don't you sometimes wish you could turn a hum into a song?
With Scaler 2, that dream can come true.
Simply connect it to a MIDI track and play, or drag and drop an audio file, and it will detect the chords for you.
However, I feel that the accuracy of the detected chords is not quite perfect.
(If we consider matching with commercial chord books as the standard for correctness.)
It's best to think of it as a supplement.
Some knowledge of chords and harmony is necessary
Of course, you can randomly arrange chords or select progressions from the built-in library to create a song.
However, I believe that having knowledge in this area allows you to use the tool more effectively.
Even if you tweak the preset chords, having knowledge of theory and other aspects allows you to quickly and freely create.
If you're looking for unexpected chord progressions, using something like Orb Chords might be a good idea.
Less user-friendly than it appears
The simple parts are easy, but because it's packed with features, it's difficult to master.
Pressing various buttons brings up different screens.
It takes time to get used to… and there are probably many features that you won't even notice.
Still, I think it's worth buying
Despite my various comments, I actually use it quite a bit.
When thinking about the flow of chords, it's much faster than manually inputting them.

The regular price is not too high,
and there are often sales, so I think it's best to aim for those.

In conclusion
My personal image of it is like a “function calculator”.
If you can master it, it's incredibly useful.
Even if you can't master it, it's still useful to have.
That's how I see this plugin.
