Cales v1.04

Cales is a VST plugin that allows you to map your keyboard’s keys to a musical scale. This will ensure that you will always stay in key, and never hit a wrong note. When "easy mode" is enabled, you can play any scale using only the white keys with "C" always being the tonic (or "root" note). More than 20 scales are included, and you can add your own custom scales.

Cales can also work as an educational tool. You can use Cales to better understand the various musical scales, as well as to learn those scales by following the visual guides on the plugin's virtual keyboard display.
