scale and chord plug

Post by joeysilvero » Mon Jun 12, 2006 10:28 am

Hi,
is there any way of using the scale plug in to keep my instruments in key,
im using the chord fx to create m7th and 9ths but then if i want a solo part how can i keep the new solo part in key with the chords ?

i can normally tell by ear if it sounds out, but some times i have instruments drift out of key its very frustrating

cheers joey

I think Chordspace Playa is what you need:

hi thanks

yeah i have this already, i guess i could use it on different instrument channels with the same key and set up that i play my main chords with

thought there might be an easier way to do this though

thanks joe

Have you checked out the new Playa? Came out last week or so.

It allows you to play both chords and melodies and automatically keeps the melody in scale with your chord.

yeah im playing with the trial version at the moment

its very good although only way to keep other instruments in key with the main chords is to load another playa on each channel set up the same way the playa is configured to create the chords

if you get what i mean ? maybe i should just get the scales for the main jazz chords i would be using, like maj7th min 7th 9th 13th augmented and dimished

thanks joe
