REST2 (for voice 2) and REST3 (for voice 3) are accessible via MIDI Control Change messages or edit-parameter
10-A and 10-B. They work like the REST control on meloDICER with one specific characteristic: Whenever voice
1 is generating a musical rest, voice 2 is generating a musical rest as well. In other words, REST2 set to 0%
probability creates a second note event for each note event of voice 1 (assuming that the probability faders for
semitones and range allow this to happen). The same relationship is true for REST3 and REST2.
Here are some examples:
REST REST2 REST3 Result
0% 0% 0% MeloDICER has the chance to generate three-note-chords for all events.
50% 0% 0%
The probability for rests is 50%, but all occurring note events have the chance to
be three-note chords.
50% 50% 0%
Only half of the notes of voice 1 are probably three-note-chords. Whenever the
voice 2 generates a note event, voice 3 does that as well.
50% 50% 50%
The probability for three-note-chords is reduced to 25%, probably 50% of all note
events are two-note-chords.
50% 0% 50%
There is a chance that half of all events are notes. They are at least two-note-
chords, about half of them are three-note-chords.
