10k+ plugins and counting. It's free.



Instascale by W. A. Production introduces a fresh approach to playing musical instruments by focusing on relative notes instead of traditional fixed keys. This innovative MIDI processor plugin features 16 smart keys that adapt their output based on the selected scale, the previous note played, and assigned key actions. Designed to work seamlessly as a VST instrument or AU MIDI effect, Instascale offers the flexibility to route MIDI data to any instrument within compatible digital audio workstations, allowing musicians to explore new creative possibilities without sound or hardware limitations.
Beyond its unique playing system, Instascale serves as an educational resource with a wide range of built-in scales, including major, minor, pentatonic, and exotic modes. It supports quick scale changes, home note adjustments, and custom scale creation, making it an excellent tool for learning music theory, ear training, and expanding musical horizons. Players can experiment freely as the plugin prevents wrong notes, encouraging creativity and spontaneous inspiration while also supporting complex chord constructions through polyphonic note stacking. Customizable control keys and mapping options enhance live performance capabilities by enabling real-time modifications of scale, root, octave, and home notes.
Instascale is compatible with Windows and macOS platforms, working with major DAWs such as FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Ableton Live, and Logic Pro X. Its user-friendly interface includes visual aids and virtual keyboards to assist navigation and performance. Whether used for serious composition, improvisation, or as a learning aid, Instascale offers musicians a novel way to interact with scales and notes, breaking conventional boundaries of keyboard layouts and musical modes. Comprehensive documentation and tutorials support users in mastering its features and integrating it smoothly into their workflow.
