Want to use the triads corresponding to your scale? Just put a major triad Chord MIDI effect behind your Scale MIDI effect and, voila! All your 7 basic scale chords ready to be arranged into a basic progression, tweaked and altered to more complex, interesting chords, fed into an arpeggiator, etc.
That is just wrong. The major scale and natural minor scales each have only 3 major triads, along with 3 minor triads and 1 diminished. Playing major triads from each note in your scale will not be conforming to the key you're in.

Here is a video for a tool that's for use in StudioOne.

For version 1.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObsYlfnYpGc
For 1.04 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOseoVW76gI

It's a multi tool and it adds chords of any scale
into the piano roll by one click.
You know your chords and still need to,
but you can add them much faster with this tool.

Workflow speed-up x 10 !!!

Here the site of the guys who made this and more for S1:

No! I'll never use the Push-App Live 9 !!!

Hi dude, I admit : just view the request and danniko mosquito and chris gave you good solutions. ;)

I'd just like to suggest you look at the Cthulhu plug-in :

Why would I suggest a "chord & arpegiator" since your need is a scale tool ?

[EDIT] this tool is very skilled about scales ; and a MIDI keyboard isn't even mandatory.

>>> Because I work like you and, as an add-on to the previous tools, it may (like me) help you to achieve a "less (headaches) for more (music)".

Oh and just in case, it works better on Live (8 or 9 no matter) and is both 32-bit and 64-bit for both MacOS and Windows.

Kind regards dudes ;).
