Why it exists
key & tempo detector
You got sent a loop pack with no key labels, a reference with no BPM, and a vocal in who-knows-what. Twenty minutes of noodling later you're still not sure.
SCOUT reads key and tempo in real time and broadcasts them to CADENCE, ROOT and VOICES over EchelonLink — set it once and the whole session plays in key by itself.
In the session
- 01Read key and BPM off any loop in seconds.
- 02Broadcast the key to CADENCE, ROOT and VOICES automatically.
- 03See half-time and triplet readings and pick the one you want.
- 04Run it as a zero-latency analysis tap.

Straight answers
Before you run SCOUT.
Which DAWs does SCOUT work in?
Pro Tools (AAX); Logic Pro and GarageBand (AU, macOS); Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper (VST3). It ships as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS and Windows. The install guide covers where each format lands and how to rescan if a host doesn't see it.
What are the system requirements?
macOS: macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon + Intel (Universal). Windows: Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · VST3 + AAX. Licensing is iLok; no USB dongle is required.
Does SCOUT add latency?
Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, SCOUT reports its latency to your DAW, which compensates automatically, so it stays in time with the rest of the session. On a live input, check your host's low-latency or monitoring mode.
Can I try SCOUT before buying?
Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, SCOUT included, with nothing charged until it ends. Individual plugins and bundles don't have separate trials.
Do I need an iLok dongle?
No. The license lives on your iLok account and can be activated to your computer, to iLok Cloud, or to a USB key — your choice.
How do I install it?
Through the Echelon Audio Hub: sign in once, and it installs, updates and rolls back every unit you own or subscribe to.
Are updates free?
Yes. A perpetual SCOUT license includes every update to SCOUT; subscribers get updates and every new unit as it lands.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Perpetual licenses have a 7-day refund window from purchase, as long as the license is surrendered from your iLok account. On the subscription, cancelling inside the trial means you pay nothing. If something is broken and support can't fix it, we'll make it right regardless.
