Instascale is a newly created, gamma-oriented tool with 16 keys for the game. But wait, is that enough? It turns out that this is more than enough. Unlike standard keyboard instruments in which each key can play only one note, Instascale has a set of smart keys, each of which is capable of playing different notes. The new note will be based on the specified scale, the position of the last note and the action of the key assigned to it.
Instascale is available as a MIDI processor plugin that can be used on any DAW that supports VST instrument plugins (with MIDI routing) or AU MIDI effects plugin, and will work with any instrument you choose, without any restrictions regarding sound and equipment.
Training: With all the scales included in the plugin and various information displayed in the interface, Instascale can be a valuable source for learning different scales, tones and frets very quickly.
Hearing development: Get to know the scales in different keys, not knowing how to play them. Train your hearing to quickly recognize intervals and distances. Using the tonic function, you can stop at a certain note and see what feelings it evokes in comparison with other notes of this scale.
Challenging game: At first, Instascale may seem like a strange and unfamiliar tool, but don’t be alarmed. With enough practice and perseverance, you can create some really complex music that you could never make with any other instrument.
Experimentation and inspiration: Given that you can never make a mistake with Instascale, just play random notes and get inspiration from unpredictable, but quite musical results. You do not even need to use your MIDI keyboard, you can use your drum pad, assign it some keys and start playing. You will be surprised how great it sounds!
Violation of the rules: The plugin is based on doing things differently, using the rules, and then breaking them. Therefore, let it inspire you to go even further and find new ways to create music without limiting your imagination with black and white keys and minor / major scales. The plugin, of course, complies with the rules, but allows you to change them, maneuver or break. This allows you to change the gamma, tonality and tonic note on the fly, make crazy passages, even allows you to create your own experimental gamma.
We are sure that you will find Instascale easy to use, regardless of whether it is an educational tool for studying gamma or expanding your current knowledge, as a free outlet for your creativity, or it will be used as a brief reference or for applying to your live performance. Like making music, the possibilities inside Instascale are endless and all at your fingertips.
