Using Ableton Live 12 MIDI Tools with Scaler 2

In this video Tristan demonstrates how to make use of Ableton Live 12’s new MIDI generative and transformation tools, in conjunction with Scaler 2 to quickly build an original song from scratch.

He also makes use of Live 12’s new Meld virtual instrument for creating various instrument parts, as well as some of Live’s existing features and instruments.

Oh my God, I just came here via Google for an example of how Scaler 2 works before I purchase it and ended up learning more about Ableton in 20 minutes than I have in hours of other videos...

Absolute belter of a tutorial, not even just regarding Scaler 2, but also Ableton, the midi tools, gating, etc, etc.
You're damned right I sub'd!

Learning about Ableton and Scaler at the same time is Awesome, Cheers🎵

[Jazman]

Great tutorial. Really enjoyable teaching style too. Very watchable.

[SandyStarSong]

This is an outstanding creative tutorial, that's easy to understand and to follow along with. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

Thanks Tristan, this was a perfect topic and timing. As a Studio One user who is frustrated by their direction, I'm considering moving over to Live. However, I'm a rabid Scaler user and really needed to know if I could leverage all the great Scaler functionality in Live 12. I was literally installing the 12 demo and deciding if the midi tools were worthwhile when your vid dropped. Perfect timing and content. Hello to Davide, and keep up the splendid work on Scaler!

[tuttib]

Thanks. Great Tutorial on both Scaler 2 and Ableton Live 12's new midi tools.

[HeresTheThingModular]

Thanks for this. It would be great if you (are you the team behind Scaler?) would consider developing a direct integration of Scaler in Ableton‘s new midi tools using the Max for Live integration.

Such an informative video. Great job dude!

4:19 Did you / Scaler 2 just Rick Roll us? :D Seriosuly though - Scaler really never gave me up or let me down, lol.

It used to be that everyone wanted automatic quantization, so that everything would be even. Now other trends are that as much as possible notes diverge from each other:)))
Thanks.

[anzatzi]

thanks--great progression, hold the strum!

[morizanova]

If you already have scaler2 . It should cover any kind of midi patterns and rhythm you've ever needed .

[seanwalsh]

I am thinking that AI could use all of these tools that you have showen and create a new song in probably any genre and style there is, and then go on to create style mash ups and then ultimately a style of its own that we have never heard before. Thanks for the demonstration.

Awesome MATE NOW turn this into a 6 minute track

[lontedapoet]

How did your drum kit get labeled in the midi viewer? When I put in a kit it’s just the key names. Anybody know how to do that?

[frattuncbas]

Guys i m very pro user about Midi generators..Also beta tester of all of them maybe..If you wanna combine midi generators, use this chain..Scaler 2>Toontrack Ezkeys 2>Toontrack Ezbass > Ableton 12 midi things orrrr Chilout Engine or House Engine for parallel notas or chords or etc..

[DanielIvan]

Ableton needs to buy scaler 2 and Serato Sample and include in the suite.

I find its really easy to do this but it can quickly turn into loopitus 💀
