You may recognize, that VARIATION does not generate any of the triplets or
1/32nd-notes. Be relaxed, meloDICER can do that but it is switched off by factory
defaults. You will find more information about that under "NOTE VARIATION (6
and 7)" on page 22.
LEGATO
When you play legato on a keyboard, there is a smooth transition between two notes. On meloDICER it means
that the pitch (1V/OCT) between two notes changes without generating a new gate signal at GATE OUT. With
LEGATO you set the probability for this behavior. Increase the setting to get more legato. On the far right
position, there won’t be any gate signal at all which means that GATE OUT is always on (+10 volts).
☞
Legato between two notes with the same pitch is known as tie. It extends the
length of the note by the length of the following note.
REST
Silence is golden. Does this make REST the golden rhythm control?
With REST meloDICER randomly adds musical rests to the pattern. Set the controls of the rhythm section back to
basic settings (see Figure 1: MeloDICER with basic settings on page 6) and slowly increase REST. Some of the
notes will get lost and are turned into rests instead of being played. If REST is at the far right position, there
won’t be any note left to play.
Get familiar with all four controls of the rhythm section. Isn’t it amazing how the rhythm changes with just these
four controls?
