Best Accessory GOTY Winner

WINNER: Plugin Boutique Scaler 2

Price £50
Contact Plugin Boutique

Improving on the original Scaler’s compositional-assisting chops with a raft of new features, this sequel boasts fantastic additions such as Expressions, which captures the vibe of human playing and subtly adds it to your chords, breathing life into otherwise flat recordings. It can also detect chords via MIDI or audio, and suggest compatible alternatives. With Scaler 2, you have, in effect, a constantly-on-hand, intelligent musical assistant that can be tailored to whatever genre you’re working in.
