The iPad version brings a redesigned workflow with a radial Circle of Fifths, Explore Page for chord discovery, Colors Page for substitutions and voicings, and a powerful Arrange Page with timeline, arranger, and built-in mixer. It hosts AUv3 plugins inside Scaler 3 itself, so you can build entire tracks without leaving the app. At the current launch price of $14.99 (limited time), standalone app plus full AUv3 support makes it a solid pick for iPad musicians.
Scaler 3 works standalone on iPad for sketching complete songs anywhere, or runs as an AUv3 instrument, effect, or MIDI processor inside Logic Pro for iPad, AUM, GarageBand, Cubasis, or Drambo. MIDI and audio detection analyzes incoming chords and suggests matching scales and progressions in real time. Motions turn chords into melodies, arpeggios, or basslines with an editable piano roll, while Live Sync keeps everything consistent across multiple instances. The combination of intelligent theory tools and a full arranger means you go from inspiration to finished arrangement without switching apps.
The touch-optimized interface is fast to navigate, and the depth of features — chord suggestions, voice-leading, AUv3 plugin hosting, and stem export — covers far more ground than a typical chord tool. The Explore Page, Colors Page, and Arrange Page each have a focused job, so you move between discovery, refinement, and arrangement without losing context. For any genre that involves chords and harmonic structure, Scaler 3 gives you a complete toolkit in one app.
