Have you ever been working on music, stumbled across a loop that sounds awesome, but you don’t know what key it’s in? Scaler Detector is a standalone and VST/AU/AAX plugin that can tell you the musical key of anything you play to it. The best thing is, it’s only $9, and if you already own a Scaler 3 license, it’s totally free!

Key Features

  • Key, Scale & Chord Detection from Audio or MIDI: Scaler Detector will identify the musical key & scale of your music and will also provide suggestions for chords that might be a good fit.
  • Drag, Drop, Record, Play: Get instant results by dragging any audio or MIDI file straight into Scaler Detector. Once it’s been analysed, you can drag and drop any detected chords into your DAW or to a storage location of your choice.
  • Real-time Playing Analysis: The clear and concise Chord Panel will provide you with direct feedback and reference to the notes and chords you’re currently playing using your MIDI keyboard.
  • Plugin or Standalone: Use it in your DAW for production, or without your DAW for listening and honing your ear.
  • Voice Grouping to Enhance Harmony: Transform your basic chords into something more harmonically rich, whilst keeping your music cohesive.
  • Bind to Keyboard: Make playing your MIDI controller fast, fun and intuitive by triggering your chords with a single key, and perform progressions over detected music.
  • Explore New Musical Possibilities: Discover fresh new progressions and creative directions by browsing compatible scales and their diatonic chords.
  • Ear Training: Play along with your favourite music to strengthen your understanding of scales, chords and harmony in real time.
