Scaler Detector by Scaler Music is a music theory utility that instantly identifies the key, scale, and chords of any audio or MIDI source. Whether you’re analyzing a full track, a loop, or a live performance, it delivers accurate results in real time. Drag and drop files for instant detection, or play your MIDI keyboard to see notes and chords appear in the Chord Panel. Once detected, bind the notes to your keyboard for one-finger chords that fit perfectly, and enable Voice Grouping for smooth voice leading. You can drag detected chords straight into your DAW, or use standalone mode for focused composition. Ideal for hobby producers using FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic who want to overcome theory hurdles, experiment with progressions, and discover new musical possibilities. It works as VST, AU, or AAX, and is included free with Scaler 3.
