OmnitoneMelodi Semi-Random Sequencer

Omnitone Melodi

Melodi from Omni-tone is a semi-random melody generator that is perfect for generating both melodic passages and looped unquantized voltage. Use the internal clock or patch and external source to start generating melodies based on eight parameters. Skip introduces the likelihood that a pulse will be skipped, Pluck is gate length, Tie increases the likelihood that two notes are played with one pulse, Trend moves the pitch window around from slightly isolated to just a cluster of notes at Noon, to trending higher and trending lower. Scale lets you choose from perfects (I, IV, V), pentatonic, diatonic, chromatic and unquantized, Range is a 1–4 octave range, Length gives you a repeating pattern from 1–16 notes and at the max position the pattern no longer repeats and infinitely generates. The internal clock is set via the Speed knob with a clock out available and a switch will let you choose from internal or external clocking. The generate section at the top will let you generate new phrases after changing settings, this can be triggered via the CV input or button. A Cycle switch will give you the option to loop your phrase or play it just once after a trigger. Omni-tone's Melodi module is a helpful and quick compositional tool that can get you ideas flowing.
