Scaler 2

Scaler is a terrific app. I’m already educated in music theory, but I use it mostly as an arrangement tool, and to quickly fine tune voicings in my compositions. David and the dev team at Scaler also pay a lot of attention to their user’s feedback, warts and all, and even have dialogues on the points worth discussing. For that reason, I’m quite confident this tool will continue to evolve and become more useful. I’ve been on the desktop version for a good spell, and it’s found a deeper spot in my professional workflow as updates have been released. That’s always a very good sign. I recently added the iOS version, and can say after a few weeks of putting it through the paces that it’s the equal of the desktop version. It’s been very stable, as well, which is gold in a professional environment. I’m looking forward to seeing what they cook up next for version 3. Recommended. Well worth it.

UPDATE: This has been fixed thankfully. The app recognizes the IAP in all apps and everything is fully accessible. Thank you very much. I can now recommend this app to anyone needing inspiration and/or assistance with cords to create a denser, layered musical piece using this app. Be sure to watch all the how-to vids to take advantage of all the features including binding, patterns, and chord suggestions to better set the tone for how you want your track to sound. I’ve managed to also use this in AUM and routed a generative sequencer to it like Riffer that cuts down my workflow significantly. Looking forward to spending a lot of time with Scaler 2 now. Original Review: I’ve gone through every forum post, video, and developer responses in other reviews to see if anything can fix this problem... I have an M1 iPad Pro and unable to access the In-App purchase while in GarageBand through the Scaler Lite 2 auv3. I have the IAP purchased and works great in stand alone app, however I’m unable to restore purchase within GarageBand as well. I have an internet connection, I’ve restarted device, I’ve verified completed purchase with apple and emailed a receipt from them, I can’t even purchase the IAP again. The developers need to acknowledge this is a bug and not user error, and it needs addressed. There are many of us with this problem, the bug is verified. Please listen to the reviews and posts, they aren’t wrong. At this point, I can’t recommend the app at all unfortunately. And I’m considering getting refunded by apple.

Edit: I originally thought that you couldn’t export the .midi file because when you try to do it the “caveman way” like I did, which was to save and export whatever I had saved, you would just get an xml file, however, thanks to the response from the dev team, the feature is there and a lot easier than I thought. Edit: Thanks for the response… I tried exactly what you wrote and it works perfectly… I checked the forums etc. and I haven’t seen this particular solution. It was a bit difficult to find in the manual, but nonetheless, thank you. This now does everything I need and hoped that it would do! Awesome product! Changing to 5* now
