Here’s what I’m trying to do, on both EZ Keys and EZ Bass: I want to use Scaler 3 to “drive” these instruments in my DAW (Studio One Seven). That is, I want to create chord progressions in Scaler, choose grooves in EZK and EZB, and play them.
The trick is, I want to use Scaler’s ability to substitute chords on the fly, so if I change a Scaler chord from an Fm6 to an F6, EZK and EZB will recognize this. That means, for workflow reasons, I want to avoid EZK’s / EZB’s chord track – I want Scaler to drive these changes.
This works with other plugins. For example, if I’ve got a DAW track with an NI Session Guitar plugin, I can set that track input as Scaler, the track output as the guitar, and any strum pattern I choose in the guitar plugin will automatically reflect changes I make in Scaler.
But this isn’t working with EZK or EZB. For example, if I take an EZK track in my DAW, leave its groove screen blank – no chords and no grooves – and set Scaler as my input to that track, it’ll play Scaler’s block chords perfectly, and reflect any changes I make in Scaler. But if I then select an EZK groove and drop it into the groove slot, it will play that groove with its embedded chords – it doesn’t follow Scaler’s input.
Hence my question: Is there a way to detach EZK or EZB grooves from their embedded chords, so I can get their grooves to follow Scaler’s inputs, the way I can with NI Kontakt instruments?
