About Scaler 3
Scaler 3 is a music theory workstation from Scaler Music. It helps producers write harmony and melody by suggesting chords, chord progressions and scales, making music theory easier to apply while composing.
Scaler Music also sells related products, including Scaler EQ Pro, a musical EQ, the Carbon Electra 2 synth, and Scaler Detector, which detects keys, scales and chords from audio or MIDI. Scaler suits producers who want help with chord progressions and harmony without studying theory in depth.
