The main thing I like about Scaler 3 so far, is how it always crashes, reminding me why I mainly use hardware now.

Seriously, tried it across multiple DAWs now, and can't even get anything going on the arranger page without it crashing. Quality!

Always a good idea to mention what OS you're on, because for me on Mac OS Sequoia and Apple Silicon it's fine.

I actually found one of the problems: Editing MIDI on a progression track, which can be avoided by resizing the section on the track itself, except then you can't see the chord name if you shorten the section.

Also, I just spent about 45 minute working on a nice progression, saving along the way to make sure I don't lose anything. Then it starts playing a different progression... Huh? Okay no problem, let me just reload my save... Which then plays that same different progression (which I didn't save).

I love paying to be a beta tester! It's great.

Same OS as you by the way.

i'm still getting crashes when dragging the midi from Scaler into my DAW. Windows 11, Ableton Live 12 suite.

Yeah, we all waiting more stable version for sure...

A few other useful additions have been mentioned for 3.1, but I forget what they are now. Stability is the main feature I want.

This has to be the buggiest release I've ever come across.

It's insanely unstable for me.

I use Ableton and Pro Tools and both DAWS have completely crashed because of Scaler 3 numerous times.

In another instance I had to disable all plugins in Live and go into the session and delete all instances of Scaler 3 becuase the session would give me a fatal error every time I opened it.

It's been pretty abysmal for me.

[muzicxs]

Same here. I wasted quite some time trying to open an Ableton project due to Scaler 3 crashing it every single time.

Thanks god for Bitwigs Plugin sandboxing there, but yeah, it feels like a really undercooked release with many rather annoying things. No fun to use ATM for me.

Yeah.

Undercooked is putting it mildly.

I could live with it having a buggy feature or too but the fact that it pulls down the whole app with it is unforgiveable.

And I'm certainly not the only one with issues.
