Introduction
What is it?
Instascale
is a MIDI processor plug-in which processes the MIDI messages it
receives and sends out the result that can be used to play other instruments.
Concept
In regular keyboard instruments, each key is assigned to a specific note. So in
order to play a certain note, we need to press the key that's been assigned to.
In Instascale things are a little bit different, the plug-in uses relative notes. Which
means each key can play different notes depending on the previous note and
selected scale. The plug-in calculates the intervals and the user can move up and
down the scale playing melodies, arpeggios or even chords using a few keys.
The result is an unusual way of playing instruments, which can be fun,
inspirational and much easier to play since you don't have to worry about hitting
the wrong note, memorizing all the scales in all keys and practicing complex riffs
and phrases that can be a challenge to play the usual way.
Since Instascale is a new kind of instrument, like any other instrument it may take
some time to learn and master, but it can be a rewarding experience.
The plug-in is ideal for live playing and with some practice you can play
complicated licks and phrases that would possibility impress anyone.
How does it work?
Instascale works as a VST instrument and AU MIDI effect plug-in. It receives midi
data from the controller and swaps it with the processed data. In VST mode the
output can be routed to any other instrument in the host application using DAW's
internal routing functions. The AU version works as a midi effect in hosts like Logic
Pro x that supports the type.
There are 16 playing keys that are actually being used to play the target
instrument. What these keys do and where they're placed on the controller can
be customized. They can have static offset values like 'Home' or a relative one like

'+2' or '-3'. Using this offset value and the previous note, the plug-in calculate the
actual note the key plays. you can read more about the playing keys in the next
section.
In addition to playing keys there are some control keys that can be used to change
and control some of the parameters of the plug-in like scale and octave directly
from the MIDI controller.
